HELP! MY PREGNANT WIFE KEEPS EATING DIFFERENT CONCOCTIONS

'Help me doc! my wife has been eating all sorts since we did scan at 7 month and they said the baby's buttocks is down instead of head.
My wife said she must eat concoctions if not, baby will not turn.' Image
Breech presentation is when baby is sitting down or kneeling in the womb.
Ideally the baby's head should be down.
It happens more in early pregnancy when baby is still small and can move in any direction.
By 9th Month of pregnancy, only 3/4 out of 100 babies remain breech.
Luckily, the woman stopped consuming concoctions & baby turned on its own to head down.

Do you know about breech babies?
Share your breech experience with us.

PREPARING YOUR BODY FOR PREGNANCY

Start taking folic acid at least 3 months before trying for a baby.

If you are on any medication, see your doctor to be sure it is safe in pregnancy or change it to a safer option.

Stop consuming herbs and concoction.

Image from google
If you drink alcohol or smoke, stop to avoid the possible negative effect on your baby. This applies for both the man and the woman.

If you haven't carried out some basic tests, do them before pregnancy especially those that can affect your baby.
@aproko_doctor
@DrZobo
Reduce stress while you stay active.

Be on the same page with your partner, you need all the support you can get.

Eat balanced diet

Pray for success

WHAT NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT STIs/STDs

Sexually transmitted infections/diseases are more common than you think.

1. There are many sexually transmitted diseases
2. Condoms do not protect against all types of STIS/STDS
3. Some may not show obvious symptoms 

@aproko_doctor
4. Some cause irreversible damage within a very short time.

5. Some can lead to complications that may manifest 15 to 30 years later 

6. Some have uncommon symptoms like behavioural changes, headache, fleshy growths abnormal bleeding between period etc.
7. When infected, you must do contact tracing of recent sexual partners, so they can be treated

8. New sexual partners should screen/test before engaging in sexual activities 

9. You can’t treat all STIs with same medications

10. If in pregnancy, it can lead to miscarriage

'Doctor, the scan says our baby is not normal'

This is one of the most disheartening experiences for any intending parent

What to do if SCAN shows the baby has abnormalities
1.Take a deep breath

2.Take result to tertiary hospitals

3. Seek 2nd/3rd opinion
@aproko_doctor Image
4. Ask them to use pictures to explain better and show you it looks in real life.(google it)

5. Ask what can be done in pregnancy/immediately after birth and if it is compatible with life.

6. Both partners should try ask questions within their families, it may be inherited.
7. Do not blame/neglect yourself,
Continue to attend antenatal

8.Try and do all requested tests in the pregnancy to help identify cause.

9. Talk to someone about it; family, good friends, therapist, psychologist to help process& make decisions it if need be
