Hello, beautiful people! Welcome to my blog. It's a pleasure to have you in this space. Once again, welcome 🤗
Yesterday, I took my 6-month-old son for his immunization. On arrival, I ran into a lady I attended an antenatal class with and with whom we also gave birth to our babies a few days apart.
As we were exchanging pleasantries, my excitement quickly turned to surprise, shock, and concern when I noticed she was already pregnant again.
If it was a month or two pregnant, I wouldn't have noticed it because it wouldn't have been that visible. She should probably be around three months gone.

And I kept wondering why she would allow herself to get pregnant this early.
My worry was because her previous delivery was via a cesarean section. I kept worrying about her well-being and wondering how she was feeling.
During our antenatal classes, the nurses and midwives kept emphasizing the importance of postpartum rest and recovering.
They advised women that would give birth vaginally to stay away from sex for at least six weeks, while those that would give birth through a cesarean section were advised to wait for at least three months before resuming sex and sixteen months before taking it again.
Seriously, women need to prioritize their health and general well-being.
A lady that was admitted in the same room with me when I gave birth almost lost her life during a cesarian section surgery.
I later found out that she had a son that was not up to a year old that she gave birth to through a cesarean section, and there she was again going through another surgery without allowing herself to heal completely.
I know every woman's delivery experience and choices are different and unique. Perhaps she planned the pregnancy, or maybe it was an unexpected mistake. Either way, I hope is going well emotionally and mentally.
In all, ladies, let's learn to prioritize our well-being first.
THANK YOU FOR READING TO THE END 🤗
