Women's Health Tips from Dr. Thomas T. (MBBS/MPH)

Did you know not all pelvises are the same? 👀 The shape of your pelvis can influence labour and delivery. There are 4 main types of female pelvis: 1️⃣ Gynecoid Pelvis ✨ The most common type ✨ Round shape ✨ Considered ideal for vaginal delivery 2️⃣ Android Pelvis ✨ Heart-shaped ✨ Narrower outlet ✨ Labour may be more challenging 3️⃣ Anthropoid Pelvis ✨ Oval shape (long front to back) ✨ Baby may enter facing backward ✨ Vaginal delivery still possible 4️⃣ Platypelloid Pelvis ✨ Flat shape ✨ Wide side-to-side but shallow front-to-back ✨ Baby may have difficulty engaging 💡 Important: Pelvic type does NOT automatically determine if you can deliver vaginally. Many women with different pelvis types have successful natural births. Your body was designed intelligently 🤍 #PelvicTypes #WomenHealth #ObstetricsAndGynecology #PregnancyEducation #MedicalContentCreator #AnatomyFacts #MaternalHealth #BirthEducation

ONE SHOT. TWO LIVES PROTECTED. 🤰🏽👶🏽 Did you know the tetanus shot in pregnancy protects BOTH mother and baby? Tetanus infection during delivery can be life-threatening — but it is completely preventable with vaccination. During antenatal care, you’ll receive the tetanus vaccine (TT or Td). It helps your body produce protective antibodies that cross the placenta and shield your baby after birth. ✔ Safe in pregnancy ✔ Recommended worldwide ✔ Saves newborn lives Supported globally by the World Health Organization and implemented in Nigeria through the National Primary Health Care Development Agency — because safe motherhood matters. Don’t skip your antenatal vaccines. Protection is powerful. Prevention is love. 💛 ⸻ #PregnancyCare #AntenatalCare #SafeMotherhood #MaternalHealth #HealthyPregnancy #TetanusVaccine #NeonatalHealth #MomAndBaby #EveryWomanHealth #NaijaMoms #PregnancyEducation #ProtectYourBaby
