“KNIVES AND NAPPIES … a journey through the world of caesarean birth stories” is a new book in which Dr. Wale Okediran in his review says this “Hospital stories are famous in Literature for their large followership.

A SCHEDULED CAESAREAN SECTION
Your doctor may tell you in advance that it is
necessary you deliver by a caesarean section before your
due date as a result of the following:
✳Specific Medical Conditions: You have a chronic
condition like heart disease, diabetes, high blood pres-
sure or kidney disease that makes vaginal delivery dan-
gerously stressful to your body (and caesarean section a
safer option).
✳ Infections: If you are HIV-positive or have an
active genital herpes infection, a scheduled C-section is

your baby during delivery.

Book excerpt...while we wait.
PREFACE
Shimmering stainless steel knife, a cutting table with mummy there and before long the new baby cries. Definitely a kitchen right! Not this time, because mum is on the table and the surgeon is with the knife. The baby's cry is emerging from nowhere else but from between the doctor's hands after a successful operation.
The surgical theatre is a fright for everyone, women as well. Women especially, might have need for surgery for a number of reasons. But there's one of the surgeries women go for that men can never i.e. the caesarean section. Before the advent of surgery, there was only one method of child birth -naturally (via vagina). Almost every woman desires a natural delivery, but in delivery just like in all other spheres of our lives, we don't always get what we want. Those with the mentality that they can never have a caesarean section have engendered avoidable pre and post surgery trauma as well as avoidable maternal death.
Some women know in advance, while other women are informed after prolonged labor or none at all that their baby will be delivered through a caesarean section. Women...

"Knives and Nappies" review by Dr.Okediran
MEMORIES FROM THE SCALPEL ; A REVIEW OF HALEEMAH ALLI’S KNIVES AND NAPPIES
By
Wale Okediran
Hospital stories are famous in Literature for their large followership. The reason for this could be because people generally love to know how other people are faring with their health concerns or how they too will cope when in such a situation. Yet, for some others, it is just curiosity or that unexplainable human behaviour of sadism, joy from other people’s suffering. Whatever it may be, the truth is that people just enjoy reading about other people’s health concerns. I should know this. After more than ten years of running my ‘Ask The Doctor’ column in one of Nigeria’s oldest and largest circulating newspapers, I am often surprised when people accost me at social events and shower me with compliments about my column.
In KNIVES AND NAPPIES, the author who is a multiple Caesarean Section (CS) recipient tells her story in simple and easily accessible language. The book is divided into three main sections. While Section One ‘The Caesarean Section Handbook’ tells the reader all he/she needs to know about Caesarean Sections, Section Two ‘The A,B,C of Caesarean Sections’ contains the various explanations about CS by doctors and Section Three, ‘Our Caesarean Birth Stories’ enumerates personal stories by those who have gone through the rigours of Caesarean Sections.
In addition to the above named sections, the Appendix is full of additional information for patients preparing for CS from how to prepare for child birth, a check list of what things are needed for a CS to the kinds of foods and drugs to consume during child birth.
So rich and educative is the book that apart from telling her story, Haleema has successfully given us a book that can be useful not only to prospective patients, but also to health workers, researchers and students alike

Knives and Nappies
About the book
Knives and Nappies is an easy to comprehend fact filled book on caesarean section. The idea was conceived from the author's experience where she realized there is a void in the necessary knowledge every woman needs concerning caesarean section. It is too costly in terms of loss of life to mother & baby to remain ignorant or base your judgement on misguided fables and baseless fear of caesarean section.
This book is therefore divided into three segments; A. Handbook on caesarean section B. 'ABC' of caesarean section as explained by the doctors C. caesarean birth stories.
Caesarean section is a reality to birthing mothers. There's never a guarantee to be exempted from having to make the choice in a bid to save the life of mother and child, hence the need to be informed.#KnivesAndNappies

Knives and Nappies is a handy family book. Caesarean sections dont always give an advance notice. Its best to be pre informed. It might not be for you but a close acquaintance.
