Joy and conviviality abounds when a woman successfully puts to birth. It's a always a good sight to see, after nine months of uncertainty.

Reproductive Health expert David Ayem in this interview with MNews237 amongst many things said, the journey towards safe delivery though not necessarily a rough one, must be done with all care and caution. 

"For a woman to have a safe delivery, first she should plan for the pregnancy, which is what we call pre-conceptual care. Pregnancy should not be surprising people. A woman must not find herself pregnant before start thinking of what to do. Start ante-netal care/clinic as early as 2-3 months. This will help health experts to start doing general screening as early as possible, in a bit ascertain if there's a disease or danger in the life of the mother or the forming fetus so they can treat it to avoid complications that may tamper with the pregnancy. 
A pregnant woman should do an echography from 10weeks to be able to determine if the fetus is well formed or not.
 A woman is told what examination to do, exercises to carry out and things that must be done to ensure safe delivery, only during frequent consultations with anti-netal health experts, whose mission is to ensure that you and your baby are safe until delivery. 
Women should avoid very strainous activities during pregnancy such as splitting wood. fighting. Avoid tough sporting activity. Normal strolling and walking will do. Light house chores. During love making don't allow you partner to be on top of you. Use other sex techniques which will be comfortable and pleasurable. Take balance diet and above all avoid completely, smoking and alcohol".
