Tara is, unsurprisingly, completely incorrect.

Hemorrhagic emergencies can happen, will happen, do happen, and often start with zero awareness in the new mom.

How many times I’ve gone to a freshly postpartum mom happily breastfeeding her baby and said “hey honey can I check you” and said “oh you can keep feeding I’ll just check your belly and your bleeding” and then I push down on a boggy uterus and a large pool of blood is sitting under her. I’ve done this around the skin-to-skin baby countless times. Most of the time there is a nice firm uterus and I chat with mom for a bit and go on about my day.

BUT.

Sometimes I calmly say hey let’s hand dad the baby I need to really assess you. The next hour is a flurry of medical folks, meds, interventions, and conversations with mom. Then everything is fine. And in five hours I check you again and look you’ve got an IV but you’re back to breastfeeding! Yay!

I trust maternal intuition. I’ve seen maternal intuition save baby’s lives. But this idea that a woman with zero actual experience with postpartum emergencies can simply save her own life by magically knowing what to do is incredibly dangerous rhetoric that should be called out for what it is.

Please don’t stop talking about the kidnapped borno children. They are still in captivity after 28 whole days in this rainy season 😔💔#BringBackOurChildren

Alhamdulillah. If you told the small boy attending a government primary school in Birnin Kudu that he’d graduate from the #1 university in the UK twice, he wouldn’t have believed you. Yesterday, I received my PhD in Civil & Environmental Engineering from @ImperialCollege. 🎓✨

[feyisayo 💸 @feyiszn]

As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, It’s hurtful and manipulative, and it’s not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.

[Asiya nomad 👑 @AsiyaRodrigo]

Arewa is facing mass kidnappings across multiple states and severe system failures, yet Arewa twitter is obsessed with the usual extra-marital iskanci of elites. What's the point of having elections? People are not ready.

[Hafsa 💫 🇵🇹 @deltanmuslimah]

You are just all over the place man. You are saying “it’s not illegal because the state sees it as consenting adults so you are inadvertently accepting the system and saying that it is okay for a “wife” to be recognised as a girlfriend or informal partner. Does this make sense to you? Did you think this through? 😂

With no legal protection in the state, that “wife” has no enforceable rights. No marital protections, no automatic claims to property in that country inheritance, no immigration security and she is fully exposed if anything goes wrong. Abi you want to enforce sharia law in a country that doesn’t recognise Sharia? 🙂‍↔️

[gst @wearegst]

Say no more.

Nigerian babies are fed sugar-packed Cerelac while European babies get the same brand with zero added sugar.
The same culprit? Nestlé.

Ultimately, NAFDAC is to be held responsible. Their mandate is to protect the health of Nigerians and they are failing at it.

🇺🇸🇧🇷 The strength of the US passport declined after Brazil imposed a visa requirement.

And for the first time, the US passport exits the list of the world’s top ten most powerful passports.

[susan abulhawa | سوزان ابو الهوى @susanabulhawa]

Didn’t Iran issue a warning to evacuate a few days ago? By your logic doesn’t that make it okay? You said that warning people in advance of firing missiles on their homes makes you the most moral army in the world. Well, Iran did the same thing. I guess they’re the moral army now, right? Also, what’s the combatant to noncombatant ratio? Wasn’t that one of your talking points? Or how about: “This is war and you shouldn’t complain after you start a war,” right?

[Mila @private_dove]

Actually woke up thinking today was Monday. Was quite stressed that I’d skipped my Sunday night weekly planning session and felt so unprepared and then realized 😂
