UTERINE RUPTURE
(Rupture of the womb)

Rupture of the uterus, also known as uterine rupture, is a life-threatening medical emergency that occurs when the womb tears, often during pregnancy or childbirth.

Causes of Uterine Rupture
1. Previous uterine surgery: Women who have had a previous cesarean section or other uterine surgery are at higher risk.
2. Multiparity: Women who have had multiple pregnancies are at higher risk.
3. Induced labor: Induced labor, without proper monitoring, especially with intramuscular oxytocin, can increase the risk.
4. Abnormal fetal presentation: Abnormal fetal presentation, such as transverse and/or a breech presentation, can increase the risk.
5. Uterine anomalies: Women with uterine anomalies, such as a unicornuate uterus, are at higher risk.

Signs and Symptoms
1. Severe abdominal pain: Sudden, severe abdominal pain is a common symptom.
2. Vaginal bleeding: Vaginal bleeding, often heavy, can occur.
3. Fetal distress: The baby may show signs of distress, such as changes in heart rate.
4. Maternal shock: The mother may go into shock, characterized by pale skin, rapid heartbeat, and shallow breathing.

Treatment
1. Emergency surgery: Immediate surgery is often necessary to repair the uterus and deliver the baby.
2. Hysterectomy: In some cases, a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) may be necessary.
3. Blood transfusions: Blood transfusions may be necessary to replace lost blood.

Complications
1. Maternal mortality: Uterine rupture can be life-threatening for the mother.
2. Fetal mortality: The baby may not survive due to lack of oxygen or other complications.
3. Future fertility: Women who experience uterine rupture may have reduced fertility or be unable to carry a future pregnancy.

Prevention
1. Careful monitoring: Women at high risk should be carefully monitored during pregnancy and childbirth.
2. Avoiding induced labor: Avoiding induced labor, especially with intramuscular oxytocin, can reduce the risk.
3. Cesarean section: Women with a previous uterine surgery or other risk factors may be advised to have a cesarean section.

Uterine rupture is a serious medical emergency that requires immediate attention.
If you suspect someone may be experiencing uterine rupture, call your healthcare provider or move to the hospital immediately.

VIII. Covenant of Vows
Make holy covenants with God with sincere expectations
"Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High: And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." PSA. 50:14-15

WHY HUSBANDS DON'T ATTEND POST/ ANTENATAL CARE VISITS.

The benefits of husbands being around for postnatal/ antenatal care visits cannot be overemphasized.
There are challenges why they don't attend visits:

1. Very busy schedules on the side of husbands can make them unable to attend this very educative event.

2. Myths and primitive thinking that antenatal/ postnatal care visit is solely for women. This should be discouraged and proper awareness should be created to enlighten the men

3. Financial scarcity/ poverty can limit them from coming as they will suggest that the limited resources be used by wives to participate in the antenatal care class.

4. Illiteracy/ poor insights can make them unwilling to attend.

5. Fear being in the mist of women can discouraged them

6. Ill health in some of them can be challenging as only healthy ones can Carter for their wives

7. Excessive delay at the health facility could limit them also. They feel it's a waste of time

8. Care free attitude by some men who think the antenatal care visits is strictly a woman's business. Hence, they prefer reported sp*eches which are likely to be distorted by dishonest wives.

9. When there's distrust in child paternity, they are unlikely to attend

10. Conflict among couples in the family can prevent many men from coming along with their wives for ante/ Post natal care visits since they are less likely to co-operate.

What are your opinion why honey don't attend post/ antenatal with you??

It's essential for pregnant individuals to approach herbal remedies with caution and to consult healthcare professionals before using any herbs. Here are some key points regarding the impact of herbs on pregnancy:

Potential Benefits

1. Nausea Relief: Some herbs, like ginger, are commonly used to alleviate morning sickness. Ginger tea or ginger candies may help reduce nausea in early pregnancy.
