#OdogwuTales
Odogwu was a good friend who calls for "free medical counsel" from time to time, so he called.

Me: Odogwu nna, you should listen to your wife

Odogwu: Nwanne are you not a Christian? read "Gen 1:28"

Me: Odogwu, multiply with caution ooo

Oya Lets Talk about "BIRTH SPACING"
• What Is "BIRTH SPACING"?

- It refers to how soon after a pregnancy, a woman can become pregnant again.

"Like how soon can Odogwu fire to score after his previous goal"

There are health risks associated with pregnancies that are too close and those that are too far apart.
A woman's body goes through a lot during pregnancy. Some of the changes include:

- Hormonal Changes
- Skin Changes
- Stretch marks
- Weight Gain
- Full and painful breast
- Swollen Feet etc

Their body needs time to RECOVER from these changes before another.

So Odogwu Chill...
• What's The Adequate Time To Wait Before Another Pregnancy?

The WHO recommends that there should be at least 24MONTHS (2 YEARS) between pregnancies.

I know you're asking "Why This?"
So the mother can recover and the child fed well (Breastfeeding).

Where are my odogwu's...🤒
• What Are The Health Risks Involved With Poor Spacing?

- SHORT SPACING (< 18months)
• On The Mother:

1. Increases chances of the mother having complications that can lead to death.

2. Preterm Labour

3. Reduced blood level (Anemia)

4. Mental Disorder (Schizophrenia)
• On The Child
1. Breathing problems

2. Mental disabilities

3. Malnourished (Low Birth Weight)

4. Child death.

- LONG SPACING (more than 5years)
It increases the chances of the woman having PRE-ECLAMPSIA i.e High Blood Pressure in pregnancy with protein in the urine.
Doc: Odogwu, are you there?

Odogwu: Yes nwanne, so you're saying I should sheath my sword.
No more firing for 2 years.

Doc: No Odogwu, You can fire but the same way you wear a cap on your head, wear one on the head of your sword!
