Advice for Pregnant or Intending Pregnant Women by Ayo Awojobi

Dear Pregnant or Intending Pregnant Women

By Dr. Ayodele Awojobi

How are you doing and how’s the journey so far (for those that are pregnant). I hope you’re attending your ANC regularly. I wish you a safe delivery (whether from below or above) in Jesus name. Amen.

For the intending ones, 2022 is your year in Jesus name. Amen. Just play your part (regular unprotected sexual intercourse), follow your Doctors’ instructions and leave the rest to God.

Please early in the pregnancy decide where you want to deliver your baby. I mean the hospital. If you have to change location, get a referral from your Doctor so that your new Doctor will know how to proceed.

You can travel during pregnancy if there are no contraindications like complete bed rest but then your trips should be the essential ones but when you’re 36 weeks pregnant, you SHOULD STAY at the town of your delivery. That isn’t the time for you to travel for whatever reasons because anything can happen at anytime! Ire oh.
