The modern day Hebrew woman.

-




The Hebrew women were known to the Egyptians to have given birth by themselves without the help of a doctor or midwives, however, the real story says that the midwives deceived Pharaoh. They were actually present to conduct those deliveries. In our world today, many are self professed Hebrew women and most pregnant women would like to be one during labor. hence, a Hebrew woman is a woman who delivered safely without complications or with little intervention.


In this day and age, A Hebrew woman will be a strong woman who has ample correct information on pregnancy, labor and delivery because she reads and asks questions. She understands that she could make use of technological advancements in cases of difficult deliveries. She knows that indeed skilled midwives were present in those days too and so she will submit herself to only a skilled birth attendant when labor comes. She signs up for antenatal care immediately and as soon as she has been confirmed pregnant by blood test and ultrasound scan. She will not yield to people's advice about waiting for the 4th,5th,6th or 8th month before registering. 


She takes all her prenatal vitamins and will not swallow any medication not prescribed. She studies her body and knows when something isn't right so she can present to the hospital first and not the pharmacy or laboratory. She keeps all her appointments. She listens to her doctor/midwife and follows all instructions for the well being of her and the child.

She allows nature to take its course on her mode of delivery, however if she has been told to be sectioned(CS) by her doctor at a particular time, all she does is pray for a successful outcome and not reject it. She does everything medically right to see her baby is well and alive.


A Hebrew woman has a sure hope of seeing her baby alive and healthy in the end, she does not participate in any practices that may put the life of her child in danger. The Hebrew woman knows the God of Israel has the final say on everything in this world, hence she won't stop praying to Him while obeying medical advice. 


Now the question is;

ARE YOU A HEBREW WOMAN?

HOW YOU CAN ENJOY SWEET FOOD WITHOUT MUCH SALT

In 200level medical school, I had this room mate who was a good cook but her food seems saltless to my taste bud. Tolulope, now Dr Akinnimi Tolulope will cook nice food yet with as little salt and oil as possible. It was strange to me even though then I had a little knowledge of why I should reduce salt intake but I couldn't really comprehend the greatness of its importance.  Looking back now, with so much medical knowledge I have gained over 8 years ago, I must say that my room mate was wiser then. You see, one thing about habit changing is that it could look strange to you and others at first but when you keep at it, it becomes your character. Reduction of salt in diet can become a part of you. Wait, salt is very important, yes, very very impotant. Salt is used for preserving food and to prevent food spoilage, we also use it more importantly to add taste to our food. Salt (table salt) contains sodium and chlorine. It is this sodium content that we need to watch, since we cannot s...
