PAST YOUR DUE DATE? #ATGPostDatePregnancy #ATGLaborInduction
By Dr Attah Essien

One of the first things a woman wants to know from her doctor is when is her due date when she presents for Antenatal booking.
The Expected Day of Delivery (EDD) is the date often given. This date is usually calculated from a woman's last menstrual period(LMP) which is expected to be more uniform and easier to remember than extrapolating the date she actually conceived.
This EDD is important for planning delivery for both the Doctor and the expectant couple. A woman needs this date to plan for her maternity leave and put her house in order before giving birth while the Doctor needs this date to provide a guide on when best a patient should deliver.
The EDD is not an exact date but more of an estimate and infact only 20 to 30% of women actually deliver on that date.
Usually a range of two weeks before and two weeks after is the range in which 80% of women will deliver a baby that is well matured and capable of independent existence.
An early ultrasound is also important for it gives a more accurate EDD than calculating from the LMP. An ultrasound done within the 1st 5months of pregnancy gives a more accurate EDD. Hence women are currently encouraged to do an early scan for if done later this scan is less accurate due to the influence of the mother's diet, mother's weight, partner's height, gender of the baby and genetic make up which all influence the size of the baby after the first 5 months when all babies, irrespective of race and other factors all grow at the same rate.
Now when a woman passes her due date there is an initial worry about her not going into labour.
One must first ensure that the EDD is correct and this by making reference to an early scan or her LMP. If indeed she has gone beyond her date the clock starts ticking.
Once a woman goes 1 week to 10days beyond her due date the placenta starts to fail hence the nutrition to the baby starts to drop as well. And if delivery is not affected anytime after 2 weeks past the due date the baby can die in the womb.
This is a very unfortunate situation thus a pregnant woman should be delivered before she hits the 2 weeks after her due date mark when the risks to the baby start to climb significantly.
Hence when you are pass your due date there is no need to be afraid but walk up to your doctor and work out which day you will come in for delivery if labour doesn't start in time.
There is room for induction which is the medical artificial kick starting of labour. This hopes to give a woman a chance for a vaginal delivery however this process can fail hence the option of a CS should be readily available at the facility.
There is no point going for induction in a hospital or health centre where they have to call a doctor a million miles away when something goes wrong. Induction is an elective event hence all staff must be on deck to watch and monitor the woman closely to ensure she has a safe delivery.
On the flipside a woman who has had a CS previously and is planned for a Vaginal birth after a CS may not be induced if she goes past her date due to the added risk of her womb tearing open along the line of the previous CS scar.
In this situation a repeat CS is in order.
Going pass one's date shouldn't be a cause of worry with good management and a meticulous approach to care all will be well. Thank you and remain blessed.

DIZZINESS IN PREGNANCY
By Dr Esther Oluwadeyi
#ATGDizziness #ATGFaintingSpell #dizzinessinpregnancy

It’s common to experience dizziness during pregnancy. Dizziness can make you feel like the room is spinning — called vertigo— or it may make you feel faint, unsteady, or weak.
You should always discuss dizziness and other symptoms with your doctor. In some cases, you may require immediate medical attention.
Read on to learn about the possible reasons for dizziness in pregnancy, and what you can do to manage this symptom.

�Dizziness in early pregnancy

Several factors may contribute to dizziness in the first trimester.

��‍♀️Changing hormones and lowering blood pressure
As soon as you become pregnant, your hormone levels change to help increase the blood flow in your body. This helps the baby develop in utero.
Increased blood flow can cause your blood pressure to change. Often, your blood pressure will drop during pregnancy, also known as hypotension or low blood pressure.
Low blood pressure can cause you to feel dizzy, especially when moving from lying down or sitting to standing.
Your doctor will check your blood pressure at your prenatal appointments to monitor your blood pressure. Generally, lower blood pressure is not a cause for concern and it will return to normal levels after pregnancy.

�Hyperemesis gravidarum
Dizziness could occur if you have extreme nausea and vomiting in your pregnancy, known as hyperemesis gravidarum. This often occurs early in pregnancy because of your changing hormone levels.
If you have this condition, you may be unable to keep down food or water, resulting in dizziness and weight loss.
To treat this condition, your doctor may:
• recommend a particular diet
• hospitalize you so you can receive extra fluids and be monitored
• prescribe a medication
You may experience relief from this condition during your second trimester or encounter symptoms throughout your pregnancy.

�Ectopic pregnancy
Dizziness can result from an ectopic pregnancy. This occurs when a fertilized egg implants itself in your reproductive system outside of the uterus. Many times, it implants in your fallopian tubes.
When this condition occurs, the pregnancy isn’t viable. You may experience dizziness as well as pain in your abdomen and vaginal bleeding. Your doctor will have to perform a procedure or prescribe a medication to remove the fertilized egg.

�Dizziness in the second trimester

Some of the reasons you experience dizziness in the first trimester may carry over to the second trimester, like low blood pressure or hyperemesis gravidarum. There are other conditions that may arise as your pregnancy progresses.

�Pressure on your uterus

You may experience dizziness if the pressure from your growing uterus presses on your blood vessels. This can occur in the second or third trimester, and is more common when the baby is large.
Lying on your back can also cause dizziness. That’s because lying on your back later in pregnancy can cause your expanding uterus to block blood flow from your lower extremities to your heart. This can cause dizziness as well as other concerning symptoms.
Sleep and rest on your side to prevent this blockage from occurring.

�Gestational diabetes

You may experience dizziness with gestational diabetes if your blood sugar gets too low. Gestational diabetes occurs when your hormones affect the way your body produces insulin.
Your doctor will likely recommend testing for gestational diabetes between weeks 24 and 28 of your pregnancy. If diagnosed with the condition, you’ll have to monitor your blood sugar regularly, and stick to a strict diet and exercise plan.

Dizziness, along with other symptoms like sweating, shakiness, and headaches, may indicate that your blood sugar is low. To boost it, you’ll need to eat a snack like a piece of fruit or a few pieces of hard candy. Check your sugar levels after several minutes to make sure they’re in the normal range.

�Dizziness in the third trimester

Many of the causes of dizziness in the first and second trimesters can cause the same symptom later in your pregnancy. It’s important that you see your doctor regularly in the third trimester to monitor potentially dangerous conditions that can cause dizziness.

Watch for signs of feeling faint to avoid falling, especially during your third trimester. Stand up slowly and reach for support to avoid lightheadedness, and make sure to sit as often as you can to avoid long periods of standing.

�Dizziness throughout pregnancy

There are some causes that may cause dizziness at any time during your pregnancy. These conditions aren’t tied to a specific trimester.

�Anemia

You may have a reduced number of healthy red blood cells from pregnancy, causing anemia. This occurs when you don’t have enough iron and folic acid in your body.

In addition to dizziness, anemia may cause you to feel tired, become pale, or feel short of breath.

You may develop anemia at any time during pregnancy. If you do, your doctor can take blood tests throughout your pregnancy to measure your iron levels and monitor the condition. They may recommend iron or folic acid supplements.

�Dehydration

Dehydration can occur at any point in your pregnancy. You may experience it in the first trimester if you’re nauseous or vomiting. You may encounter dehydration later in pregnancy because your body requires more water.

You should drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water a day in early pregnancy, and increase that amount as you add more calories to your diet, generally in the second and third trimesters. This may increase your water intake by 300 milliliters per day.

�Managing dizziness in pregnancy

There are several ways you can avoid or lessen dizziness when pregnant:

✔️Limit long periods of standing.
✔️Make sure to keep moving when you’re standing to increase circulation.
✔️Take your time getting up from sitting or lying down.
✔️Avoid lying on your back in the second and third trimester.
✔️Eat healthy food frequently to avoid low blood sugar.
✔️Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
✔️Wear breathable, comfortable clothing.
✔️Take supplements and medications as recommended by your doctor to treat conditions that cause dizziness.

�When to seek help

Always let your OB-GYN know about any dizziness you experience during pregnancy. That way your doctor can take necessary steps to diagnose any conditions causing the symptom.

If the dizziness is sudden or severe, or if you experience other symptoms with dizziness, seek medical help immediately.

chaiii.. serious dilemma.
Congratulations on the promotion mama.

Before arriving at a conclusion think of these points:
Have you saved enough money for yourself? Like personally do you have any money to fall back on ? Atleast if e bad too much u can start a small biz with it.

Is hubby staying in a place where getting work is easy? I mean the town he is living. Eg if you're moving from lag to lokoja, u know getting job there go hard small.

Is it possible to accept the offer and then go for your 3months leave at the end of July, so u use that opportunity to think we'll and weigh your options? If it's possible then I think to should try it

Wow congratulations dearie, this is great news .
Please really consider if you still want to resign. You and hubby consider the financial implications very well.
If you weigh the options and Oga can carry the family for an extended period of time for you to get stronger after the birth of baby and get another job, then after your maternity leave you can resign, I'm sure you will have enough time to think about this and properly weigh it during that time.
So if I were you I will accept it now while the offer is open.
God's wisdom in your decision dear❤️
