09.01.2022 Caring for "LIFE" The 2020 flu shot is available and pregnant women fall into the recommended group to get this shot as soon as possible. We recommend that all pregnant women (at any stage of pregnancy) get immunised. Most pregnant women are concerned about the safety of the flu vaccine. Only 50% of Aus and NZ pregnant women receive the vaccine even though it is safe for pregnant women during any stage of pregnancy and whilst breastfeeding. Read our statement here.... https://bit.ly/2WXGFVd To know more, read the advice published from the Department of Health https://buff.ly/39kgPOu #flushot #drrehana #obstertrician #pregancy #pregnantwomen #riverina #womenshealth #caringforLIFE

06.01.2022 Caring for "Life" = "Mother"

05.01.2022 The first written record of a mother and baby surviving a caesarean section dates to 1582. Jakob Nufer, a pig gelder, reportedly cut his own child from his wife...’s womb wielding the instruments he used to castrate his pigs. His wife allegedly went on to give birth to five more children during her lifetime, including a set of twins. It's long been believed that the term "caesarean section" derives its name from the story that Julius Caesar was cut from his mother's womb. Although convenient, the story of Caesar's birth is likely a myth. In that case, where did the term come from? While it is true that Roman law mandated that babies be surgically removed from the womb of a dead or dying woman, it's more likely that the term originated from the Latin verb caedare, meaning "to cut." Attempts to separate the baby from the mother were sometimes done in order to save the infant’s life, but in many instances, it was performed so that the infant might be buried separately from the mother - as some religious edicts demanded. The c-section's erroneous link to the Roman dictator persists today. Evidence for this can be found in languages from all over the world. The approximate translation of the German, Danish, Dutch and Hungarian terms for this procedure (kaiserschnitt, kejsersnit, keizersnede, and csaszarmetszes) mean "Emperor’s cut." Both the South Slavic (carski rez) and Western Slavic terms (cesarskie ciecie) translate to "tzar cut/Caesar's cut," while Japanese, Korean, and Arabic terms all refer to Caesar and/or the "emperor’s incision."
