Good morning 🌅
What are you grateful for today?

🎯 Parenting doesn't come with a manual. We all make mistakes ,learn and relearn together with our kids as they grow.
🎯A mother has the purest intentions for her children in whatever she does. She is absolutely the only one who will be grounded with her kids unless alternative care is found.
🎯 Of course it takes a whole village to raise a child

Random thoughts 🎯

📍 All children are innocent, without exception.
📍No matter what children do or say, adults are responsible for children's protection.
📍If a child says something you don't agree with and you as an adult retaliate, saying mean and humiliating things about them, you as an adult are totally wrong because you know way better than them
📍All that children need is love, guidance and positive affirmations to grow into their bright futures.

Induced labor or caesarian section, which one would you go for?

13/11/2025

Here are the most common reasons doctors would recommend induction of labor (or force labor ☺️)

📌Past the due date
If you’re past 40 weeks along, the placenta starts to lose its effectiveness in supplying the baby so doctors may suggest induction to keep baby safe

📌Water broke early
When the membranes rupture but labor hasn’t begun, induction helps lower the risk of infection for both mom and baby.

📌Mum’s health
Conditions like high blood pressure, pre‑eclampsia, gestational diabetes, or other medical issues can make it safer to deliver sooner rather than later.

📌Baby’s wellbeing
If the little one isn’t growing as expected, shows signs of distress, or there’s a concern about the umbilical cord, induction can be the quickest way to get them into the world.

📌Infection or other complications
Things like chorioamnionitis (infection of the membranes) often require immediate delivery and induction may be suggested as a safer route

Bottom line: Induction is done to keep both mom and baby healthy and safe.

Ladies, what have you heard about induction of labor (commonly called force labor in Zambia)?

Why do most women shun induction of labor?

Hello ladies and gentlemen,

What do you wish you were warned about pregnancy and child birth while you were expecting?

#1 For me was the stinging breast pain when I started breastfeeding, ouch 😳
