How to improve the chances of pregnancy

It is said that all fingers are not equal? That is very true when we talk about marriages and children. Many couples are blessed with children, while some others are not. Making babies impses great challenges.

There are many reasons why some couples are unable to make babies. Some are of natural causes, others maybe self-inflicted or by accident. Whatever the case, understanding your situation is key, to enable you either live with or look for a solution.

Whatever your situation, information remains vital to creating knowledge and understanding. There are some basic facts which for an ignorant person, may led to childlessness.

Let us consider a few of such facts:

Knowing when to have Sex for the purpose of making babies

When is the right time to have intercourse if you want to make babies? Having sex for fun is not the same as sex for procreation. While you can have sex for fun whenever you want it, it is not the same thing when you want to make babies.

Not knowing when to have sex with your partner is a major reason why pregnancy remains elusive in many marriages.

Intercourse simply for reasons of pregnancy can occur only one day out of the whole month. If you are unable to make effective use of that day, you will have to wait for another month. For many who do not know how to recognize their ovulation period, it means you are engaging in blind sex. You are only taking a chance which may or may not result in pregnancy.

The right time to meet your spouse is during your ovulation period. It is very important to be able to identify your ovulation when it occurs.

The question is how do you identify your ovulation?

Ovulation can occur at any time of the day. It is imperative to be able to recognize the signs whenever and wherever it occurs.

The first sign of ovulation is wetness. You will feel wet when ovulation occurs. Some times, it is more difficult to observe, especially when you are actively engaged, walking, driving or doing work. At either of these occasions, you attention is divided and the possibility of the chances of easily identifying your ovulation becomes low.

Having said that, it is important to add that you need to be in an expectant disposition to be able recognize your ovulation.

Apart from the wetness, ovulation can be identified by physical examination. Take a swipe of the fluid and see if it is whitish in colour. This is necessary because wetness could result from sweat, menstruation or other discharges.

Once you have confirmed the colour, the next thing to do is to further assure yourself by feeling it. It has a slimy feel, and if you place it between your fingers and pull apart, it stretches for a while before breaking. This white and slimy substance is called egg-white.

Missiles on Wheels

Sadly, only a couple of weeks ago, I lost a close family friend in a ghastly car crash along the Lekki - Epe expressway, involving a commercial vehicle,  whose driver, probable drunk and driving without head lamps, ran across the road to the other side of the road, causing a head-on collision with her official vehicle. Every day, we see many commercial vehicles and tipper trucks, driving along the Lekki Expressway without head lamps at night.  I have seen a big truck drive on this road with two of its rear tires completely absent, and was rolling on bear reams. Believe it or not, the road safety officials are all over the place. Whether they themselves see these things or not is not left for me to say. Another very dangerous practice by commercial bus drivers along the Lekki - Ajah axis, is that they disconnect the fuel tank of their vehicle and use a plastic container which they keep at the booth of the vehicle with a hose connected directly to the engine.  This sam...

FG, Key to Full Internet Connectivity

The Internet sprouted from what was then a national computer network project called ARPANET, which was under the control of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), an agency within the United States Department of Defence. The first countries to be connected to the Internet outside the U.S were England and Norway in 1973, and it was mostly used by universities, polytechnics and research agencies. Now, there are over a hundred countries with full Internet connectivity out of which only 11 are from the African continent (with the exclusion of Nigeria). Developments on the Internet in recent times had been very rapid, making it the world’s most advanced medium of communication with an installed base of over 50 million computers users linked worldwide, and an approximate annual growth rate of 2000 percent. The Internet is by far the fastest growing segment in the information technology industry. Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, corroborated this fact when he said: “The surging popula...

Rebranding Nigeria Project

Beddes and Grosset Webster define brand as trademark; a particular make or kind of goods. Therefore, branding is essentially about products; and a communications function of design, packaging and publicity. The Nigeria rebranding project therefore is out of focus and faulty and requires urgent redefinition of the entire process. Rebranding in the context of the Nigeria experience should focus on our national identity, which in this instance are our products. Our national identity includes and not limited to our national anthem, flag, name of country, currency, crest and emblems, uniforms of our police and armed forces, our national colours etc. It is after the completion of the rebranding process that publicity and public relations commences. It is during this process that image laundering, and to put more aptly, 'social re-engineering' can be introduced. As it is practiced now, we are simply putting the cart before the horse. We need to re-align the process with internatio...
