Happy new year Beautiful and amazing ladies of hive, it's another beautiful year to reflect and effect changes to our lives to make the most of another opportunity given. So many things happened the past year and that's one reason why I'm really so grateful for being part of those to say a happy New year. I've set some goals and some are still yet to be set but in all I'm happy for how the year has started so far.

I want to specially appreciate @merit.ahama for the the beautiful topics she chose for this week, it's a great one to get one's thinking cap on because so many things happened but then knowing what lesson we learnt that benefits us as a Ladies is something I never really thought about but now that this topic was suggested, I now realize that there was actually a very good lesson I learned the past year that will not only benefit me but also every lady who reads this.

So without dwelling so much on the introduction, let's get to find out that one knowledge I gained from last year that benefited me as a lady...

About 3 months ago, a friend of mine gave birth to her first child, I normally like calling her my big sister. She was living in another state but since she knew she was going to be due soon, she came over to her parents home to make everything a lot easier for her especially for the fact that it was her first child and also a first experience.

I had planned to go visit her the week after she gave birth so I could help her out in some chores and also assisting her in taking care of her baby but due to some challenges, I couldn't visit earlier. She called me twice to ask me when I'd be coming over but I kept postponing my visit until another week went by. I finally got ready to go visit her and this time I went with my siblings because they were also interested in seeing her and her baby.

When we arrived at her place, we were told she wasn't at home so we decided to settle in since we planned to stay for more than a day. While we were wondering where she must have gone to, I received a call from her mother who told me she was hospitalized.

Immediately I got that news, I felt so cold. Her mother asked me to accompany her so she can take me to go stay with her at the hospital. When we got there, I found her lying so weak on the hospital bed. She kept complaining of headache and she was so restless too. I was worried and I asked her mother about the Baby and I was told she was taken home but she had to go home to bring her back to the hospital. After a lot of up and down movement at the hospital, my friend's condition became serious all of a sudden.

We were worried, we had to call the doctor and he was able to get her to a barely stable condition. The next day she was referred to a federal hospital so she could continue her treatment there. I had to go home with her baby while they travelled to the federal hospital she was referred to. She stayed in the hospital for one whole week before she was discharged and at this time her child was apart from her.

Even when she returned home she could barely hold her child because she was not completely fine. It took her another week before she could start taking care of her child little by little. She later went for other medical check-ups and treatment to make sure she is completely fine. She did went through a lot and we were so scared because it was a miracle she survived.

All of these things happened in the space of approximately 2 months and I was with her all through assisting her and her family. During this time, I learned a lot of things that will help me as a lady. We were told that she suffered from postpartum which happens to women after pregnancy due to overthinking, anxiety and others. One of the major side effects was severe headache. It can also be caused by the pain killer given to women during labor to reduce pain.

I got to find out that my friend was actually given that injection and it was part of what caused her to experience postpartum. Due to the fact that I was with her, I was able to learn of what postpartum is, what causes it, it's symptoms and how to avoid it. I was told that this mostly happens to ladies who gives birth to their first child or children.

I learned that it is good to try to stay as calm as possible during pregnancy and even after to avoid being a victim of postpartum. As a lady who just delivered a baby, it is good to rest very well after. The only way this can be possible is by having people around to assist you during this time. Shouldering all the responsibility of taking care of your child alone at the early months is not a really good decision except you don't have anyone to help out.

For me this is one knowledge that I learned as a lady and I know will help me now and even in the future. I'm really happy to have shared this with us ladies and I hope it helps those expecting mothers among us and even those who will get to that stage someday to be more informed and careful not to experience Postpartum.

Thank you so much for reading up to this point 🤍. This is my response to the first topic of the Ladies of hive weekly topics.

Feliz año nuevo Hermosas y maravillosas damas de Hive, es otro hermoso año para reflexionar y efectuar cambios en nuestras vidas para aprovechar al máximo otra oportunidad que se nos brinda. Sucedieron tantas cosas el año pasado y esa es una de las razones por las que estoy realmente agradecido por ser parte de aquellos para decir un feliz año nuevo. Me he fijado algunas metas y otras aún están por establecerse, pero en general estoy feliz por cómo ha comenzado el año hasta ahora.

Quiero agradecer especialmente a @merit.ahama por los hermosos temas que eligió para esta semana, es excelente para pensar porque sucedieron muchas cosas, pero luego saber qué lección aprendimos que nos beneficia como damas es algo Realmente nunca lo pensé, pero ahora que se sugirió este tema, me doy cuenta de que en realidad aprendí una muy buena lección el año pasado que no solo me beneficiará a mí sino también a todas las mujeres que lean esto.

Entonces, sin detenernos tanto en la introducción, descubramos ese conocimiento que adquirí el año pasado y que me benefició como dama...

Marketing Blog YouTube Thumbnail_20240103_063705_0000.png

Hace unos 3 meses, una amiga mía dio a luz a su primer hijo, normalmente me gusta llamarla mi hermana mayor. Ella vivía en otro estado pero como sabía que iba a nacer pronto, vino a casa de sus padres para hacerle todo mucho más fácil, especialmente porque era su primer hijo y también su primera experiencia.

Había planeado ir a visitarla la semana después de que dio a luz para poder ayudarla en algunas tareas y también a cuidar de su bebé, pero debido a algunos desafíos, no pude visitarla antes. Me llamó dos veces para preguntarme cuándo vendría, pero seguí posponiendo mi visita hasta que pasó otra semana. Finalmente me dispuse a ir a visitarla y esta vez fui con mis hermanos porque ellos también estaban interesados ​​en verla a ella y a su bebé.

Cuando llegamos a su casa, nos dijeron que no estaba en casa, así que decidimos instalarnos ya que planeábamos quedarnos más de un día. Mientras nos preguntábamos a dónde habría ido, recibí una llamada de su madre quien me dijo que estaba hospitalizada.

Inmediatamente recibí esa noticia, sentí mucho frío. Su madre me pidió que la acompañara para poder llevarme a quedarme con ella en el hospital. Cuando llegamos allí, la encontré muy débil en la cama del hospital. Seguía quejándose de dolor de cabeza y también estaba muy inquieta. Estaba preocupada y le pregunté a su madre sobre el bebé y me dijeron que la habían llevado a casa pero que tenía que volver a casa para traerla de regreso al hospital. Después de muchos movimientos de arriba y abajo en el hospital, la condición de mi amigo se volvió grave de repente.

Estábamos preocupados, tuvimos que llamar al médico y él pudo llevarla a un estado apenas estable. Al día siguiente fue remitida a un hospital federal para que pudiera continuar allí su tratamiento. Tuve que regresar a casa con su bebé mientras viajaban al hospital federal al que la derivaron. Permaneció en el hospital durante una semana entera antes de que le dieran el alta y en ese momento su hijo estaba separado de ella.

Incluso cuando regresó a casa apenas podía sostener a su hijo porque no se encontraba del todo bien. Le tomó otra semana poder empezar a cuidar a su hijo poco a poco. Posteriormente acudió a otros controles médicos y tratamientos para asegurarse de que se encuentra completamente bien. Ella pasó por muchas cosas y estábamos muy asustados porque fue un milagro que sobreviviera.

Todas estas cosas sucedieron en el espacio de aproximadamente 2 meses y estuve con ella durante todo el proceso ayudándola a ella y a su familia. Durante este tiempo aprendí muchas cosas que me ayudarán como dama. Nos dijeron que padecía postparto que les ocurre a las mujeres después del embarazo debido al pensamiento excesivo, la ansiedad y otros. Uno de los principales efectos secundarios fue un fuerte dolor de cabeza. También puede ser causada por el analgésico que se les administra a las mujeres durante el parto para reducir el dolor.

Descubrí que a mi amiga le dieron esa inyección y fue parte de lo que le provocó el posparto. Gracias a que estuve con ella pude aprender qué es el posparto, qué lo causa, sus síntomas y cómo evitarlo. Me dijeron que esto les sucede principalmente a las mujeres que dan a luz a su primer hijo o hijos.

Aprendí que es bueno tratar de mantener la mayor calma posible durante el embarazo e incluso después para evitar ser víctima del posparto. Como señora que acaba de dar a luz a un bebé, es bueno descansar muy bien después. La única manera de que esto sea posible es teniendo personas cerca que lo ayuden durante este tiempo. Asumir toda la responsabilidad de cuidar a tu hijo solo durante los primeros meses no es una muy buena decisión, excepto que no tienes a nadie que te ayude.

Para mí, este es un conocimiento que aprendí como dama y sé que me ayudará ahora e incluso en el futuro. Estoy muy feliz de haber compartido esto con nosotras, señoras, y espero que ayude a aquellas mujeres embarazadas entre nosotras e incluso a aquellas que algún día llegarán a esa etapa a estar más informadas y tener cuidado de no experimentar el posparto.

Muchas gracias por leer hasta este punto . Esta es mi respuesta al primer tema de los temas semanales de Ladies of Hive.

Yeah, whenever I think of it and I look at her I just know that God is indeed God, he saved her and that has given me the opportunity to learn something really important.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful contribution sis, I'm glad to have you stop by 🥰.

I'm glad your friend is doing well. It was a very intense experience. More of this info should be available to young women, so they can have a better parenthood.

You're right, this kind of information should be shared by those who have them so others can learn from it.

Thank goodness she survived it, it's really scary to have a mum fall that sick when she has only just given birth. The baby needs all the care she can get as tender as she is.

You're blessed to have learnt such a lesson out of the whole situation.

Yeah, her life is a living testimony of what God can do and will do. To so many it's nothing but those that have the experience can relate better.

I'm really privileged have learned from someone's experience and not mine. Thank you for bringing this topic and helping me share it with all the amazing ladies of hive 🥰

I've heard about about this sickness on movies... Didn't know it's easily attached to pregnant ladies or the one that just gave birth.

Thank you for being with her.

Potential mother 👏👏

While I'm familiar with this concept from my studies, I have a renewed perspective on the joys and thorns of motherhood. A lot of people especially on the Internet blabber on about what pregnancy is like and even diss some mothers, comparing them to others. What we all must keep in mind is that pregnancy has very different effects on different women. There are ideal practices for a safe delivery, but many times, there's a lot of unpredictability. We should all be ready for whatever comes.

Thanks for this. I hope your friend has recovered fully and is experiencing the joys of motherhood.

Happy new year! 🌻

You're right, every woman might be faced with different predicaments and that's why it's necessary to keep learning from each of them as much as possible so when you are faced with them you will know how to overcome them with ease.

Yes she is fully recovered now 🥰. Thank you so much for your thoughtful contribution !LADY

I'm glad to hear that she is okay. I remember my own first pregnancy with my daughter 20 years ago, and the memories are still fresh in my mind. Each mother has her own unique first experience, and that is what makes being a woman and a mother so special. She is blessed to have a friend like you who supports and helps her.

This is why in my country we have a Community nurse make scheduled home visits following the birth to check on the baby and mother's progress. Prior to birth, the Father is often taught to look for signs and symptoms of postpartum.
Also I believe this should be included in basic First Aid training too.
This is a good experience for you @hopestylist

Wow, that's a really good approach to combat postpartum, I really hope every other countries will imbibe that too.
