Happy birthday to me! 🥹❤️🎂
Another year older, another year of becoming. Another year of God’s faithfulness, grace, and unending love.
I’m grateful for the girl I’ve been, the woman I’m becoming, the lessons I’ve learned, the prayers God has answered, and even the ones I’m still waiting to see fulfilled.
I don't think the original statement necessarily undermines the expertise of gynaecologists. Sometimes, people are simply trying to communicate that experiencing something firsthand gives you a different understanding of it. A doctor can understand the physiology, complications and management of pregnancy, but a pregnant woman understands what it feels like to live through it. Both perspectives are valuable. We don't have to dismiss one to appreciate the other.
Posting again to stand on this cause I don’t know why someone is arguing with me.
I think the response being given towards the whole gynecologist and pregnant woman discussion is unnecessarily aggressive for what could have been a very simple conversation. Nobody said men shouldn't be gynaecologists or that medical professionals cannot speak on women's health. The point was about the difference between clinical knowledge and lived experience. Being knowledgeable about a subject and personally experiencing it are not mutually exclusive forms of understanding. Perhaps we should engage with what someone is actually saying rather than exaggerating their position to make it easier to ridicule.

And I’ve taken my time to follow each account back and engage their accounts
And I think this is a good way to promote their accounts too 😊
I love the fact that female doctors are finally coming out to talk about the things we’ve been saying for years, things that some doctors have consistently dismissed.
Before I started having children, I suffered from dysmenorrhea. I remember complaining about the pain, and I was simply told to take Buscopan and that it would go away.
My dear, it didn’t go away.
I would faint whenever I had my period. There were times I couldn’t function at work, and I lost several jobs because of how severely my periods affected me.
Sometimes, when you explain these experiences to a male doctor, you feel like you’re not being taken seriously. Your pain is minimised, and you’re made to feel like it’s just normal menstrual discomfort.
That’s why I appreciate what these female doctors are doing on this timeline. They are educating people, validating women’s experiences and amplifying conversations that have been ignored for far too long.
Thank you for speaking up. Thank you for amplifying our voices. Women deserve to be heard, believed and properly attended to.

I think there's a distinction being missed here. A pregnant woman has firsthand experience of pregnancy that a gynaecologist may not have, but a gynaecologist has the clinical training to understand, assess and manage pregnancy. These are two different forms of knowledge, and one doesn't invalidate the other. The original point wasn't that only pregnant women should advise on pregnancy or that medical professionals are unqualified. It was that lived experience offers a perspective that professional training alone may not fully capture. We can acknowledge both without turning it into a competition.
How will someone open up to you about how you treat them, express how they feel, and even apologise in case they’ve offended you, and the first thing you say is, “If you feel like you offended me…”?
Sometimes, people aren’t looking for you to defend yourself or invalidate their feelings. They’re simply trying to communicate, make things right and find a way forward.
The least you can do is listen without being dismissive or making them feel like their concerns are invalid.
Not every conversation is an invitation to be defensive. Sometimes, it’s an opportunity to understand how your actions have affected someone else.
What information was given??
Even confidentiality wasn’t breached…
Personally, I didn’t see;
Their exact age, location or occupation.
The hospital or ward where they were admitted.
A specific date or unusual incident.
A rare medical condition combined with other identifying details.
Photographs, videos, voice recordings or screenshots.
So what information was given?
Once the devil realises that you have discovered your purpose and identity in Christ, be ready for real warfare. ⚔️. I remember the year I discovered my purpose and identity in Christ after going through intense fasting and prayers. I thought I had conquered the devil and that everything would become rosy and sweet for me. Little did I know that the battles had only just begun. The devil came at me with battles I never imagined. That was when I realised that Satan has agents all over the world, even among people you genuinely think are serving God. Everywhere I turned, it seemed people were trying to bring me down. They tried to poison my food, silence my voice and even hit me with a vehicle. The devil also sent some people who accused me of something and eventually pushed me down a staircase. I sustained serious injuries and was wounded. I honestly thought I wasn’t going to make it to the next day. Then I had a dream in which I saw one of my fathers in the Lord come to anoint me. The following morning, I woke up feeling healthy and strong. I had no more pains, except for the scars from the injuries. At some point, I started questioning whether I was even an ordinary person like everyone else because the battles I was facing seemed far greater than my age. I cannot begin to narrate everything I went through after discovering my identity in Christ. But to the glory of God, I overcame. Jesus fought my battles, and I am still standing today.
To everyone facing difficult battles, don’t give up on God. No matter what you are going through, hold on to your faith and remain steadfast in Christ. Your present struggles do not have to define your future. Keep trusting God, keep praying and never allow the challenges you face to make you abandon your walk with Jesus. There is hope in Him, and He will give you the strength to keep standing. Don’t give up. Jesus is still on the throne.
