RHESUS_FACTOR_INCOMPATIBILITY A LEADING CAUSE OF MISCARRIAGE

Rhesus Factor is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells in most people (about 85% of humans). It is also referred to as Rh Factor. People who have the Rh have “positive” (+) blood types, such as A+, O+ or B+ are said to be rhesus Factor positive,  while those who  have the Rh  “negative” (-) blood types, such as A–, O– or AB– are said to be rhesus factor negative . The “+” and “-” in front of the blood group is the Rhesus factor. Generally, we have A+, A–, B+, B–, AB+, AB–, O+ and O–. Rhesus factor is genetic in nature. It is inherited from the parents, emphatically the father.

#How_does_Rhesus_Factor_cause_miscarriage?

If a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh–, there wouldn’t be any problem. However, if a Rh– woman is impregnated by a man with Rh+, there would be a problem if the baby inherits Rh+ from the father . We have here what is medically called Rhesus Factor Incompatibility. The baby would obviously be Rh+. During child birth, once the baby’s Rh+ comes in contact with the woman Rh- during delivery, the antibodies are immediately activated by the woman’s body’s immune system.

The activated antibodies would see the new Rh+ as foreign body or a threat and consequently they would be at alert to attack and get rid of the foreign body. Unfortunately as such, after this particular child birth, the woman would keep having miscarriages because the activated antibodies would see subsequent Rh+ pregnancies as foreign bodies and would keep fighting and taking them off.

Women with Rh activated antibodies are said to be Rh sensitized and once these antibodies are activated , they can never be deactivated until the woman dies. Rh induced antibodies are activated in a Rh- woman by child birth, abortion, miscarriage and ectopic pregnancy.

If a Rh– woman commits an abortion for a Rh+ man and the antibodies are activated in her system, the woman might end up childless throughout her life except if she later marries another man with with the same Rh–. The possibility of a Rh– woman finding a Rh– man is slim as about 85% of human beings are Rh+. This is a warning to our young girls who commits abortions all in the name of boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

If you’re a woman with Rh– and your fiance is Rh+, and you haven’t committed abortion for him and you don’t want to leave him, then, you need to take note of the following:

In order to prevent the activation of the antibodies, doctors would give women in this category an injection called Rhogam during and after pregnancy to prevent spontaneous abortion due to Rhesus factor incompatibility. The injection is normally administered 28 weeks into pregnancy, 72 hours after delivery, after ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage or abortion. If the injection is not administered and the antibodies are activated, they would never be deactivated again!

In many African cultures up till today, women who are so unfortunate to find themselves having serial spontaneous abortions due to Rhesus factor incompatibility are considered witches by some of their people. Some of the women would accuse their in-laws of being behind their predicament.

So, if you’re a woman with Rh– , you need to be very careful. It might be difficult for you to get a husband with a Rh– because about 85% of human beings are Rh+. So, in order not to find yourself in the aforementioned problem, put all that have been said at the back of your mind and go for genetic counselling. If you have a daughter or a sister with Rh–, counsel them on Rhesus Factor Incompatibility and the dangers lying therein.

It should also be noted that a Rh– person(man or woman) cannot receive blood donation from a Rh+ person even if they have the same blood group. The consequence of such blood transfusion is fatal. It would lead to death as the blood would clot. This is due to the incompatibility in their Rhesus factor.

THORACIC MOBILIZATION

In the clinical world, it is well recognized that neck pain often improves when the next adjacent spinal region (the thoracic spine) is treated. There are numerous theories as to why this change is seen ranging from the very mechanical (if your mid-back is stiff, your neck endures more stress) to the more modern, neurophysiological explanations. Nonetheless, clinical experience and research tell us that mobilizing the thoracic spine can help to reduce neck pain.
-
Now, unless you are under the care of a musculoskeletal practitioner, you may be wondering how exactly you might go about this on your own. Well, there are several options, but the foam roller is an excellent choice for most people.  Although this tool is not as specific as someone who is trained in manual therapy, it can be extremely useful.
-
Here's what to do:
✅ Position the roller so that it runs perpendicular to your spine (as shown in the image) and is placed generally between the shoulder blades.
.
✅ Next, either cross your arms over your chest or put your hands behind your head (if is uncomfortable to hold your head up) and slowly walk your feet up and down the floor so that the roller moves along the thoracic spine (not the neck and not the low back).
.
✅ During this process, keep your abs tucked slightly to avoid simply arching your low back (the picture shows a bit more arch than is desirable). Arching the low back really just means you are missing out on a more focused thoracic mobilization.
.
✅ For neck pain, keep the roller in an area between an imaginary line level with the bottom of your shoulder blades running up to the base of your neck.

STOP LOOKING FOR A HUSBAND IF YOU ARE NOT A WIFE MATERIAL

Is the title for Today’s Motivational Message
Written by Counselor Adofoli

It is alarming to know how a lot of singles are not marriage materials but are looking for marriage. Some ladies of today are looking for husband material when they know very well they are not wife material. Just as no one invests in something which has no future, no man will spend a dime with the aim of getting married to you if you refuse to add value to your life to become a marriage material first.

Many singles are out of order; with no work, no place of abode, no plan for the future, still perching with their friends and relying on parents for survival, yet are out there looking for a life partner. It is a total shame you don't have money to get a new boxer short but you are busily chasing a lady for sex, a lady for whom you don't have what it takes to give her a new pant, even if she marries you.

Some ladies are putting pressure on men to come and see their families, to take them to the alter, whilst they have no moral standards, sleep with guys without knowing their surname, home or family. A wife material does not sleep with a boyfriend rather a husband.

Instead of looking for a job to afford their basic needs, they are rather looking for men and pressurizing them for marriage and by so doing they can be taken care of.

If you have to get into a relationship just for help or to meet your needs, pay bills, school fees, rent, etc then you are not a marriage materials. If all you do is to borrow clothes, take pictures with them, upload on social media just to get a guy to date, then you are not a marriage material.

There are ladies who cannot cook for themselves, wash their own clothes, clean their own home, or take better care of themselves but are in relationships and keep asking themselves, why is he not coming forward to ask for my hand in marriage? For some the men have gone for an engagement list from their family yet have no plans of getting married to them.

The reason why he is not getting married to you is because he doesn't see a wife in you. You are not a wife material to him but he is comfortable having you as a girlfriend because you are a "girlfriend material".

Just as no one puts money into a vending machine when it is out of order, so would a man never put something in a woman when she is out of order. If you can't help him to help you by putting your life in order, how can you help your marriage in the future when he marries you?

And guys, if you have your life in order, ready for marriage and meet a woman who has all it takes to be a wife for you, don't play with her. Don't waste her time.

If she can cook a meal in this world full of restaurants and processed microwaveable food, you have a wife material. If she can make time wash in the mist of all the laundry, you can be assured you have a wife material.

If you meet a woman who puts the things of God above telenovela and want to spend more time with you than the television, in this world of soap operas, then you can be sure you have found a wifely material.

If she claims to be in love with you yet very selfish, always at the receiving end, can't do anything without expecting something in return then she is not wife material. You can't have a lasting marriage without God's building material called love. If you meet someone who loves to serve and help others without asking for anything in return, who is selfless not selfish, then you have found a wife.

This is a woman who can give you the view of the future through their own actions and eyes. Be with someone who is trustworthy for you don't have to rely on their "Trust Me" for their actions spoke the truth you need.

In conclusion "Our purpose is to do what is right, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of others" - 2 Corinthians 8:21 (GNT)

Please share with your friends, someone out there needs this.
