"The Risks of Home Birth After a Previous Caesarean Section" by Midwife Patience Awoho

Giving birth at home can be a risky decision, especially if you've had a previous caesarean section. As a midwife, I've seen firsthand the complications that can arise during home births, and I want to emphasize the importance of seeking medical attention in a hospital setting.

"When you've had a previous C-section, your body may not be able to handle the stress of a home birth, and complications can set in quickly. In a hospital, we have the necessary equipment, medical staff, and expertise to handle any unexpected situations that may arise."

Some potential risks associated with home births after a previous C-section include:

- Uterine rupture
- Placental abruption
- Fetal distress

If you're considering a home birth after a previous C-section, I strongly advise you to discuss your options with your healthcare provider and consider the risks carefully. Your health and the health of your baby are paramount.

Nyame Be Ye" Mindset is Killing Us: Time for Change!

"Why do our women say 'Nyame be ye' and stay home when Allah has given us skilled healthcare workers to help with safe deliveries? This attitude is causing us a lot of harm. Let's make the most of the medical care available to us and save lives." - Abdul Mumen Basit, Islamic Council Chairman, Nkwanta North

Improving Maternal Care: A Call to Action

Sharing a powerful insight from our recent stakeholders' engagement on "Bridging the Gap of Maternal and Infant Death - A Collective Responsibility":

"I accompanied a pregnant woman to the hospital, but the midwives on duty seemed distracted and unresponsive. Instead of attending to the woman's needs, they were preoccupied with their phones, scrolling through social media platforms like TikTok and Facebook. This experience highlights the concerning attitude of some healthcare professionals prioritizing personal activities over their duties, compromising patient care.” - Miss Moningma Naomi, Opinion Leader

Let's work together to ensure quality care for all!

In as much there are numerous midwives in the Nkwanta North District, you were recommended and known for your commitment and selflessness in discharging your duties. God bless you for your patience and relentless efforts in supporting our pregnant woman.
