The type of rupture will determine whether you can be allowed to get pregnant and deliver or not. Extensive rupture or classical rupture necessitate tubal ligation even if the uterus was repaired and not subtotal hysterectomy. In which case you would have been counseled.

In your case, for the doctor not to have told you means you can still get pregnant.

But ensure you inquire for the details of the ruptured uterus.

Though delivery has to be by Caesarean section. It is also advisable to admit the woman for observation from 30 - 32 weeks till the time of delivery. This is because rupture can reoccur with minimal contraction. Also it may be advisable to do the operation early than normal. I have done some at thirty six weeks of gestation instead of the normal thirty seven to eight weeks.

UNUSAUL BODY PAINS

I am 27 years old and have been experiencing some unusual pains around my abdomen, and back. I also have severe headaches and my neck sort of gets stiff sometimes. Please, what could be the problem? Sarah You seem to be having musculoskeletal pains. It is difficulty for me to make an accurate diagnosis without further history and physical examination I will advise you to see your family physician.

MULTIPLE FIBROIDS I was diagnosed with multiple fibroids Please what can Ido? Am married no child for seven years now. Aisha Bauchi From what you described the first thing is to do myomectomy that is removal of fibroids through operation. Meanwhile you and your spouse should be investigated for the real cause of the infertility.

CAN I DO FOLLICULAR TRACKING ON DAY 20 I have done follicle tracking for day 12 &15 it’s remaining day 20 which is on a Saturday Saturday. My question is can I do any one before Saturday? What if it comes before Saturday. Thanks Abiola, Abuja How do you come about the days you did the follicular tracking? The days are unusual for a normal twenty eight days cycle. Because around day 14 or 15 there would have been ovulation. But you can still do it before Friday.

Let me also mention that the best person to tell you the date for the next scan in follicular tracking is the radiologist or the person doing the serial scan. For example if a request says day 8, 12 and 16 but by day eight the leading follicular is alraedy about 15mm . It may not be advisable to wait till day 12, two days from the last scan will be ok.

So anytime you go for follicular tracking ask the person scanning for the best date to come for the next scan not necessarily the date on the request form.

LOW WHITE BLOOD CELL COUNT When the white blood cells in a child is low is low what do you do? Susan.

The question is what causes the low white blood cells and how severe is it? Also to know what types of white blood cells is low. Could be congenital or drug induced. There are drugs that affect blood cell level.

The first is for an Haematologist to do, a complete full blood count and blood picture.

Then based on findings on history, physical examination and the laboratory results, advise can be given.

As a journalist who is self-employed, my day can vary. Sometimes I’m in Abuja prepping for my television show, other times I’m in the office writing, putting together applications for grants, other times am training both journalists and corporate people and other times in meetings with clients.

KIDDIES MORALS

with HAFSAH ABUBAKAR MATAZU & UCHE EZE

Balancing play and worship D uring the holy month of Ramadan, it is important to guide your kids in the right direction to reap the benefits of the month. Encouraging them to participate in religious activities like praying, fasting and supplication can be tasking due to a kids nature of wanting to play so it is crucial to ensure that you strike a balance between play and worship for the kids.

Timing: Let them know that there is a time for everything, and worship cannot be joined with anything else and also remind them of how much closer to God they are while performing prayers. But still, give them time to play just as long as it doesn’t conflict the time of worship.

Go with them to places of worship: Once they see the number of people that come to the mosque and church to pray, it will also encourage them to do so. Also, make sure they stand beside you and monitor them closely while the prayers are being conducted.

Teach them the importance of worship: Constantly remind your child

the importance of praying, fasting, and reading the Qur’an and Bible too. Play comes secondary to anything else so before they can play, they must have performed their prayers and all other necessary worship.Sit them down and talk to them about fasting and praying and living right. Make them understand why you are restraining them from certain activities at this period especially in the period of Ramadan and Lent.

Make the period of worship enjoyable: Whenever it’s time for family religious activities, try to get them involved. Make the session as enjoyable as you can for them.

Regulate the type of play: Pay close attention to the kind of play your kids engage in. rough and dangerous play that will exhaust them is not advisable. Also as parents, we should monitor the kind of games our children play especially with various game apps available online. Most games are dangerous for children.

Overeating in Ramadan Stories by HAFSAH ABUBAKAR MATAZU

A

fter a day of hunger and thirst, once the call to prayer for maghrib is heard, the first thing one thinks about is putting food in the mouth and a cold drink to rehydrate. But just like everything else, overeating when breaking the fast can do more harm than good to the body. It is hard to resist the urge of eating too much but for health reasons, it is best to take it one bite at a time.

Speaking on fasting, Dr. Amadi Ikechukwu of the Federal Medical Centre, Abuja, talks on the nutritional and health benefits of it.

Complications like vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, heartburn and gas all can be caused by eating too much and too fast too when breaking fast.

Overeating after breaking the fast can cause much discomfort to your stomach and affect your body’s performance afterwards and the following day too.

Also, eating too much carbs while breaking the fast can lead to laziness and sleepiness and in turn, weight gain before the month ends.

So it is best that you control your eating after breaking the fast and eat in controlled portions.

Do not overstuff and give space in your stomach for food later on so that you continue fasting in a well and healthy state.

Therefore, it is recommended to break the fast with a few dates as the Prophet (PBUH) also did

to boost sugar level; and a glass of milk or yogurt for protein and then proceed to pray Maghrib before indulging in the main iftar meal. This gives your stomach the chance to open up after a day of fasting and for the food to digest much easily.

Going for a gluten free lifestyle oing for a gluten free diet may be a good choice for those more prone to diabetes or for purposes of losing weight and other health related reasons. These a few reasons why you should consider going for a gluten free lifestyle.

It is difficult to digest gluten: Your body actually has difficulty fully digesting grains like wheat and those the undigested portions ferment and cause gas leaving you with a lot of burping and farting too.

SOCIETY NEWS

Some carbs are pro inflammatory: The pro inflammatory agent quickly converts carbs into sugar which causes a boost in the levels of insulin in your body. This can be bad for those with genes of diabetes and a way trigger it.

Leaky gut syndrome: This condition is whereby substances that are meant to be in your gut make its way to your bloodstream introducing toxins that shouldn’t be there.

The carbs from gluten has little nutritional value: Contrary to popular belief, wheat we eat is actually not very nutritional because it is refined. Refined wheat has little nutritional value and it is only good when you need a substitute to other cabs like flour and rice. Basically it’s overrated.

You might be allergic to gluten: A lot of people are allergic to gluten so its suggested you visit a nutritionist to know before it is too late.

Respect your husband no matter what. We are Africans even if you don’t support him respect him. My father never hit my mum for one day.

Not just because my father is a gentleman, my mum always knew when to zip up. They had a lot of arguments but I noticed something anytime my father’s voice goes up my mum’s voice would go down and out,” He advised.

entre pieces are usually the focal point of any dining room.

Therefore, it is important to place the right centerpieces on the dining table. Deciding on a centerpiece for the dining table can be a bit daunting, but all that matters is that your centerpieces are simple yet elegant. For normal family dinner, keep it subtle, minding the height of your centerpiece, so that conversations can freely flow at the table. On the other hand, when a few friends and extended family members come over for dinner, you can choose to go big and bold with your centerpiece.
