During pregnancy the body produces more red blood cells and increase the volume of blood. This helps in the transport of oxygen to the foetus and the required nutrients. Anaemia in pregnancy is a c…

A lot of mothers believe these very important tablets are given to them just as a formality. Someone even asked me how women were surviving back then when there were no IFAS. I usually call that ignorance.

IFAS should be taken immediately you realise that you are pregnant according to the ministry of health guidelines, till the time you deliver and even after delivery if need be.

I however recommend that people should start taking it when the idea of getting pregnant comes into your mind. Start taking them as you try to get pregnant.

These tablets supplement your body with folate and iron which is very important in the development of your baby ESPECIALLY IN THE FIRST TRIMESTER( first 3 months of pregnancy)

These pills that some moms refuse to take prevent congenital or birth defects affecting the brain, spinal cord and the spine.

The most common of these defects are the spina bifida(spinal cord) and anencephaly (brain- where the brain and skull does not fully develop or the skull is empty.

It pains me to see a mother coming to start her antenatal clinic at 6 or 7 months, as they smile trying to cook a lie on why they never started early.

The implantation and the development of your baby is very important and is directly proportional to what you will deliver after 9 months.

Even cows get checked by veterinary doctors when they are pregnant. How a human being stays home like a wild animal without going for antenatal care shocks me. That's someone who lacks seriousness.

MARRIAGE IS GIVE AND TAKE


1. When a woman is humble, she becomes a natural charm to her husband

2. When a woman is submissive, she gets what she desires from her husband

3. When a woman is trustworthy, she can control her husband's finances

4. When a woman is hospitable, she can host her husband's meeting

5. When a woman is friendly, she becomes her husband's best friend

6. When a woman is jovial and playful, she can unlock her husband's sad mood

7. When a woman is appreciative, she receives unexpected gifts from her husband

8. When a woman is respectful, she can attend her husband's cultural meetings with him

9. When a woman is understandable, her husband feels free to tell her even the ugly

10. When a woman is peaceful, her husband comes rushing home each time

11. When a woman is tender hearted, she makes a great mother for her kids

12. When a woman is slow tempered, she knows when to approach her husband in times of misunderstandings and arguments

13. When a woman is not vulnerable, she is loved by her husband

14. When a woman does not keep secrets from her husband, her husband tells her all of his every moves

15. When a woman is prayerful, she becomes a powerful support system to her husband

16. When a woman is God fearing, she sets her home on the principles of God the Almighty

17. When a woman is selfless, her husband relies completely on her

18. When a woman is creative, she and the husband can figure out the future together

Unfortunately when you are not any of these, it becomes so hard for you to enjoy marriage.
Seek God's help to become any of the above, you can't do it on your own.

Greetings to all submissive Women

A GOOD WOMAN BUILDS HER OWN HOME

THE BLIND FOAL

Moral Story Of The Day.

There was a mother zebra that had a blind child. It saddened the mother that her foal couldn't see the world for himself.

One sunny afternoon, she accompanied her blind foal to the river to drink water. On their way back home, they passed by a group of cheetahs that burst out laughing. The cheetahs, comprised a mother and her three cubs laughed so loud from under a tree.

It then dawned on the zebra that the cheetah and her cubs were mocking her blind child. She became very sad and heartbroken.

Her sadness deepened everyday as the cheetahs wouldn't put a stop to their act. They would roar with annoying laughter each time the zebra and her blind foal passed by.

One day, the sad zebra said to her foal.

"I won't bring you to the river today but I'll get you water to drink. In that way, no one will see you or mock you"

The mother then went to the river all alone, and by the end of her drink, she headed home with some water for her foal.

However, the cheetahs didn't stop to laugh and laugh. Their thunderous laughter then got the zebra extremely angry that she decided to confront them. Burning with rage, she stormed at them.

"You wicked cheetahs! Isn't it enough that I stopped my blind child from coming with me? When will you ever stop mocking us?"

But the mother cheetah looked very confused. She paused for a moment, then spoke very gently.

"We have never made mockery of either you or your child as you assume. You have only a blind child, but I've got three blind children, and I know how it feels when others mock us... Our loud laughter is due to the jokes I tell them every time as laughter makes us happy. So, I've got much more problems to even notice yours"

There are times in life when we get sad and worried because we assume things that aren't entirely true. That's how assumptions can kill our happiness. We are often afraid of chasing our dreams and accomplishing our goals because we make assumptions.

You left your husband because he was cheating.

You have a kid or two.

So you divorced because you were so pained.

You left.

With the kids.

You started working hard to cater for your needs. You work so hard, but it isn't enough.

To meet up with the growing economic demands, you find a wealthy man. He is rich. You dont care. You need to pay fees for your kids as a strong, independent woman. You need to prove that it can be done. So you're dating a wealthy married man.
You are now a side chic.

Then, you begin to think of the side chics your husband has and why he has them.

You do not even question the morality. You begin to understand why. Maybe they've got kids too. Mouths to feed, life to live.

It doesn't make sense still.

So you call the married man when he is home, and he hides to shout at you for wanting to disturb his peace with his "wife" as you ought to know when he is home.

You think of your hurts.

You think of your consolation.

At least you had a husband who was fully yours. He cheats, but he was fully yours.

So you attempt to find out what is going on with him now, but he is married again to a younger woman.

After you make contact, he comes to visit you and the kids. He drops some money once a while. The new wife is in charge now...

You connect on old times. You even had s*x.

He leaves to his house to his wife. You're now dating two married men. Both of them are cheating on their wives.

And then you say life wasn't fair to you.

As bad as this may sound, it happens. It is the reality of our time.

Wise people learn from the mistakes of others.

Don't leave ur peaceful abode (marriage) because he cheats.

It rains every where.

This girl bought an iPhone. When her father saw it, he asked her "what was the 1st thing you did after buying the phone"?

She said "I put an anti-scratch sticker and bought a cover for the phone".

Did someone force you to do so? She said "No".
Her father asked her “did you think it was an insult to the manufacturer?" She said "No that it was recommended that a cover be used on the phone".
Did you cover it because it was cheap and ugly?
"No daddy, actually I covered it because I did not want any damage to it or what would devalue the phone".

"When you put the cover on, did it reduce the iPhone’s beauty?"

"Daddy I think it looks better and worth it for the protection it gives to my new iPhone".
The father looked lovingly at his daughter and said, “if I had asked you to cover your body which is much more precious than your iphone, would you have readily agreed?".

She was mute . . . .

Indecent dressing and exposure of your body reduces your value and respect , True or False? let’s talk

The power of a parent's tongue

A story is told about a young Thomas Edison who came home one day with a paper for his mother. He told her, “My teacher told me to give this paper only to my mother.”
Thomas’ mother read the note and her eyes filled with tears. Thomas asked his mother what the note said, and she read aloud,

“Your son is a genius. This school is too small for him and doesn’t have enough good teachers for training him. Please teach him yourself.”
And that’s exactly what Thomas’ mother did; she home-schooled her child with devotion and dedication. As the story goes, many years later after Thomas Edison’s mother passed on, and he was now one of the world’s greatest inventors, he found a folded paper among other family items. He opened the very same paper that had been handed to him to give to his mother and read the following message:

“Your son is mentally ill. We won’t let him come to school anymore.”
At that moment, Edison realized what his mother had done for him so many years ago. He wrote in his diary: “Thomas Alva Edison was an addled child that, by a hero mother, became the genius of the century.”

“The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”
Can you imagine what might have happened to Thomas Edison if his mother had read to him the reckless and hurtful words written by his teacher? He might never have invented the light bulb or made his many other contributions to society.
Thank God for the wisdom and wise words of his mother! She created the context in which her son could grow to his full potential.

Let’s take this message to heart and resolve to use our words for healing today. You might be a parent, what do you say to your children.... You might be a teacher, what do you say to your student... especially the ones that are not really performing well presently..

What do you say about your parents, family, boss, subordinate, leader, colleague, follower.... Just as hurtful words can cause uncontrol

Dear Men, work hard so that in your old age you have something for yourself , forget about the children and their mother! You are the only stranger in that family you call yours, that house is for your wife and kids !
My grandfather told me that a married man is like a tractor that builds a road, does it very nicely BUT when the road is completed , they bring a low loader and carry the tractor away claiming it will spoil the road!!
That tractor is never allowed to step on the road it built ! Same case to a married man, you deny yourself , get loans , wear used clothes to see your children through high school and college because we believe that the only gift you can give your children is quality education cos there are no more shambas!!
When the children hit teenage, now the Father is dispensable, most of these women poison the children against their father, language like "If it wasn't for me you wouldn't have studied, he was only interested in alcohol and women!! Now the tractor is about to be carried away!!!
Once the children start working , mzee has retired and when the children come visiting the poor mzee is given two hundred infront of the mother , while the mother pulls them to the kitchen and the Father doesn't know what mama has been given! Once the children drive off, the mzee is told to buy sugar with the two hundred unless he wants to drink sugarless tea!!
These are some of the reasons why men die early and leave widows behind suffering !! I have seen mothers fly abroad to visit their children while the mzee is left at home looking after their two cows, ever wondered why? That poison spread by mothers towards the mzee !!
Dear men work hard and save something for yourself because nowadays aging without property is almost like a death sentence !!!
Wake up struggle while you can before your old age.

DEAR MEN,

If you are married, and your wife goes to the gym but you don't, I have to tell you something. At the end of the gym session, there is something some gyms call "warm down", while others simply call it "stretch".

Your wife will lie on the ground facing up, her arms spread in surrender, while the gym instructor stands between her legs.

He will then take one of her legs and streeeeeeetch it to the extreme end until she unleashes some sound that I can guarantee you has nothing to do with pain. He will then do the same to the other leg.

He will proceed to hold various parts of her anatomy and push and pull them widely like he paid dowry for her.

Then he will grab both legs together and push them towards her head, making her have this pose taken straight out of Satan's adultery guidebook.

She will make that sound again!

You need to see what these women wear to the gym to understand this pose.

The institution of marriage is being burnt alive in these gyms.

When done, in a voice your wife has never used when talking to you, she will say goodbye to him and assure him that "kesho tutafanya ile ingine". She will have a genuine smile and his fisi enzymes will be at their most aggressive.

As an elder, I must warn you that gym instructors are replacing us!

We either go to the gym with these ladies or ban gym visits altogether.

Don't say the servant of the Lord didn't warn you!!!
