  Rahmatu Lawan Admin pls approve this post Assalamu alaikum Pearl's of the north, Please somebody needs our advice, she'll be reading comments. I was among the 19 kidnapped women that were adopted in Kaduna-Abuja express way in July. During our stayed there for 13 days all the women raped (me included). My husband and family finally raised the 3million naira ransom that our captors demanded. when the ransom money was paid and I was released 2months ago, I kept rape part of the story hidden as I don't want to recall all the horrible experience I encounter in hands of my captors. Even my husband I didn't disclose that to him. Reason being that I know the kind of man he is, how the news will trouble him and probably shatter him for the rest of his life. Beside the 3 million ransom he took loan to pay so I can regain my freedom. The problem now is i discovered that am fill weeks pregnant, as result of the rape. My husband and I have been trying to conceive for 7 years now without even a conception not to talk of miscarriage. My life is really in a mess as I don't know what to do now. I wanted a child, but not in this way ???? ????. I contemplated suicide or abortion over and over, but couldn't braced myself to do it. Please help me. What do I do? What's the way out of this dilemma?? ???? Caveat: The pic is just for illustration. The story was shared by an anonymous person to a group . From: Pearls of the North Facebook group

  Maryam Sarki Abubakar BENEFITS OF CHILD BIRTH SPACING Birth Spacing is the practice of waiting between pregnancies. A woman’s body needs to rest following pregnancy. After having a baby, it is a good idea to wait at least 18 months before getting pregnant again to maintain the best health for her body and her children. The 18-month rest period is called “birth spacing.” When the time between pregnancies is less than 18 months, her body may not be ready to have a healthy baby. CBS (Child Birth Spacing) is an intervention to help women and families delay or space their pregnancies to achieve the healthiest outcomes for women, newborns, infants, and children, within the context of free and informed choice, taking into account fertility intentions and desired family size. Individuals and couples should consider health risks and benefits along with other circumstances such as their age, fecundity, fertility aspirations, access to health services, child-rearing support, social and economic circumstances, and personal preferences in making choices for the timing of the next pregnancy. Child birth spacing have impact in both newborns, infants and children under five years, mothers, fathers and even the communities. Also the benefits for infants, newborns and children under five years include, reduces the risk of Pre-term births, low birth weight, small size for gestational age, and, in some populations, stunting or underweight conditions, reduces the risk death for newborns, infants, and children under age five and allows young children to experience the substantial health benefits of breastfeeding for longer periods. Mother also benefits from CBS which gives them more time to prepare physically, emotionally, and financially for their next pregnancy, if they choose to have one, it also helps them avoid pregnancy-induced high blood pressure and associated complications like preeclampsia, obstructed and prolonged labour, iron-deficiency anemia, and maternal death and provides them with enough time before becoming pregnant again to focus on their newborns, husbands, and other children. Benefits of CBS to fathers, it helps them safeguard the health and well-being of their wives and children, allows them time to plan financially and emotionally for their next child, if the couple chooses to have one and contributes to a father’s sense of satisfaction from supporting his wife in making decisions that are in the family’s best interests. CBS benefits communities because it reduces the incidence of death and illness among mothers, newborns, infants, and children and in doing so, it can contribute to poverty reduction and improve a community’s quality of life. In general the benefits of healthy CBS include baby can be born at the right time and have a healthy weight, baby can develop well because Mother can give lots of attention to the baby, Mother will have more energy and be less "stressed out", Mother will have more time to bond with the baby, future babies will be healthier because Mother's body had enough time to replace nutrient stores before getting pregnant again, Children who are adequately spaced are better prepared to begin kindergarten, and perform better in school, Mother has more time to spend with the child and the child receives more attention and assistance with developmental tasks, Families have more time to bond with each child, Parents have more time for each other, Parents can have time to themselves and Families can have less financial stress.
