Post Partum Hemorrhage (PPH)

PPH or blood loss during and after delivery (24hrs) is the leading cause of maternal death world wide. Despite recent advances in obstetrics (pregnancy) care, it is still the leading cause of maternal deaths.

Who’s at risk?

1. Primips- first pregnancy.
2. Grand Multips- more than 5 pregnancies
3. Obese women
4. Preeclampsia- hypertension in pregnancy
5. Over distended uterus – big baby or twins
6. Anemia in pregnancy
7. Long hours of labor and etc etc.
   The bottom line is all pregnant women are at risk of bleeding to death.

What should you/we do?

1. Always go to antenatal clinic when you are pregnant. Clinicians will identify risk factors (some mentioned above) and monitor your pregnancy to give you and your baby the best possible outcome.
2. Space pregnancies- give time to your uterus to heal properly before the next pregnancy. 3 to 4 years. Husbands should take heed of this.
3. Plan to deliver in a hospital. – relatives should donate blood when their wife, mother, sister or aunt is going for labor. In 1630 Emperor Shah Jahan built Taj Mahal as a tomb for his Wife Empress Mumtaz Mahal after she died loosing blood giving birth to their 14th child!!
   It is icon representing love for women and that no women should die of blood loss in labor.

I’m off to controlling some bleeders.
Top day fellas.

Ladies be warned!

Cancer of the cervix is on the rise! It’s not only inherited but there are also several risk factors.

Risk factors!

1. Sex before 17.—if you are 17 or less, Don’t have Sex. Preserve your virginity. It’s a gift to your husband on that fateful night. If you can’t control the rise in hormonal changes, use a CONDOM, but age 20 is the right time!
2. Too many partners!— You laik kamap hit meri, think twice.
3. Marrying a man with many partners! —-watch out. He might have the virus that causes cervix cancer.
4. Smoking!—if you do, start quiting!
5. Check out Dr Google for more information or visit your local hospital Or inbox me for further discussions.

Cheers!

Some people only drink water when they see urine color change or thirst. That’s a bad practice. You must drink at least 2L per day irrespective of your urine color changes or urgency to drink water (thirst). Kidney is the main organ that filters all fluids (blood&water) in our body. Keep yourself hydrated because when your kidney fails, you in for a big trouble. Treatment for kidney failure is a big dilemma in PNG where we can’t access dialysis in our public hospitals. Only people with money can access it in private clinics but it’ll be for a lifetime and will cost a lot, hence it’s an expensive illness. As they say prevention is better than cure. Think kidney, drink water. Let me drink a liter now. Goodnight. Hamal

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
