Those that have the audacity to argue about Allah's laws about a woman's provision, read this article below.
Sisters, don't you ever lower your standards, if you are going to take one of the biggest risks known to mankind.

Ask any person whoโs been pregnant if they have any lingering health problems after childbirth, and get ready to hear a laundry list of issues. Long-term health effects caused by labor and delivery may be more common than we realize, according to a new study published in โThe Lancet Global Healthโ. But just because postpartum complications are common doesnโt mean theyโre normal, or something you simply have to deal with for the rest of your life.
Every year, more than 1 in 3 women (at least 40 million) globally are likely to experience a postnatal condition in the months or years following childbirth. Those can range from low back pain (affecting 32% of women) to pain during intercourse (35% of women), urinary incontinence (8% to 31%), depression (11%-17%), anxiety (9% to 24%), fear of childbirth (6% to 15%) or secondary infertility (11%).
Looking at these statistics proves itโs clear that more recognition of the physical and psychological effects of childbirth is needed, as most of these issues often go under-recognized and are therefore likely under-diagnosed.
Most postpartum women see their provider at 6 or 12 weeks postpartum for a single checkup, and then are left on their own to deal with nagging problems like low back pain or pain during xes, while also caring for a newborn. And thatโs part of the problem. โThe historical limitation of postnatal care services to the 6 weeks after birth is also a contributing factor,โ the study authors write. As many of these issues often set in after the 6-week mark, itโs simply not sufficient care for most women.
โConditions such as depression, urinary and anal incontinence, and xesual dysfunction can be caused or exacerbated by pregnancy and childbirth but might only present months, or even years, after childbirth. By this time, women are no longer accessing postpartum care servicesโฆโ they state.
And aside from impacting health, these issues can come with long-term social and economic consequences, too.
More rarely, serious postpartum complications can set in after childbirth, such as pelvic organ prolapse, post-traumatic stress disorder, thyroid dysfunction, mastitis, nerve injury, psychosis and blood clots, all of which can carry a significant impact.
โMany postpartum conditions cause considerable suffering in womenโs daily life long after birth, both emotionally and physically, and yet they are largely underappreciated, underrecognized, and underreported,โ said Dr. Pascale Allotey, Director of xesual and Reproductive Health and Research at WHO, who was not involved in the study.
โThroughout their lives, and beyond motherhood, women need access to a range of services from health-care providers who listen to their concerns and meet their needsโso they not only survive childbirth but can enjoy good health and quality of life.โ
A recent CDC survey found that nearly half of respondents (44.7%) shared that they felt the need to hold back questions or concerns with their provider during prenatal visits. The survey also found that 1 in 5 American women reported experiencing mistreatment during prenatal consultations. Nearly a third claimed they faced discrimination based on factors such as age, weight, ethnicity or income level.
The prevalence of postpartum complications is much worse in low- or middle-income countries, the paper states, many of which do not have clinical guidelines in place to properly address these conditions. That lack of focus on basic health issues may explain why 121 out of 185 countries have not significantly reduced maternal mortality over the past 20 years, the WHO states.
The paperโs authors argue the need for a multidisciplinary health system that provides respectful and high-quality maternity services, along with postpartum screening assessments and prompt management of those at risk.
โTo comprehensively address these conditions, broader and more comprehensive health service opportunities are needed, which should extend beyond 6 weeks postpartum and embrace multidisciplinary models of care. This approach can ensure that these conditions are promptly identified and given the attention that they deserve.โ
Gaslighting is unfortunately common in womenโs health. If youโre experiencing pain, discomfort or health problems postpartum, no matter how long ago you gave birth, know that you donโt have to suffer in silence. Reach out to your OB-GYN or primary care doctorโand keep reaching out until youโre able to get the help you need and deserve.
