Dr. T. Chiwanga OBGYN

In 2021, my husband and I got married and began trying for a family.

In 2022, we faced two early miscarriages — heartbreaking, and with no clear answers.

In January 2023, we fell pregnant again. At 20 weeks, we learned we were having a little boy. The very next day, I was diagnosed with placenta previa. I went into labour at 29 weeks. Our son spent 6 days in NICU, fighting so hard — but his little body couldn't endure it.

There are no words for that kind of loss. For a long time, we didn't know if we would ever become parents.

In August 2025, we found out we were expecting again — cautiously hopeful, but carrying so much fear. That's when we found Dr Chiwanga and her team. From the very beginning, they showed us patience, kindness, and compassion. They answered every question, supported every anxious moment, and helped us find hope again when we needed it most.

At 20 weeks, we found out we were having a little girl. This pregnancy was different — in all the best ways. Healthy, strong, no complications.

On the 13th of April 2026, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl into the world. 🤍

We will always carry our little boy in our hearts. His life, though short, will always be part of our story.

But here's what we've learned — hope can exist alongside grief. After loss, it's hard to trust your body, or let yourself imagine a happy ending. But sometimes, slowly and quietly, things do change.

If you're waiting, hurting, or wondering "will it ever be our turn?" — you're not alone. Be gentle with yourself, and hold onto whatever hope you can.

There is hope after loss. And sometimes, that hope grows into something beautiful.

Don't give up. 🤍.

👨🏽 Men's Health Month: A Conversation for Men

If you and your partner have completed your family, could a vasectomy be one way you support her?

For many years, women have carried much of the responsibility that comes with family planning, pregnancy, childbirth, and contraception.

A vasectomy is a safe, highly effective, and permanent family planning option for men who are certain they do not want more children. The procedure is simple and does not affect your masculinity, s*xual performance, s*x drive, or ability to enjoy intimacy.

Choosing a vasectomy is not about giving something up — it's about taking an active role in family planning and sharing responsibility as a partner.

This Men's Health Month, I encourage men to learn the facts, ask questions, and have open conversations with their partners and healthcare providers.

🤔 Shall we do a Vasectomy FAQ? Comment YES if you're keen.

An ectopic pregnancy is nothing short of a brush with death!

This week Mai Nemaz Kubika na Mai Nematombo shares her experience with us in a face to face interview.

An ectopic pregnancy can become life-threatening if not diagnosed early.
Sadly, 90% of women in this region of Africa only reach the hospital after the pregnancy has already ruptured.

🚨 Know the warning signs:
✔️ Missed period with one-sided pelvic pain
✔️ Shoulder tip pain
✔️ Dizziness, fainting, or feeling like you might collapse
✔️ Pain that gets worse instead of improving

If you think you could be pregnant and experience any of these symptoms, seek emergency medical attention immediately. Early diagnosis can save your life.

Your health matters. Don't ignore what your body is trying to tell you.

F.y.i ladies. Long story short paracetamol remains recommended first line medication for fever and pain in pregnancy.

has long been considered safe to use during .

A growing body of cohort studies and meta-analyses has explored the potential association between prenatal acetaminophen use and neurodevelopmental outcomes in children. Although some studies report modestly increased risks of neurodevelopmental disorders in children exposed to acetaminophen prenatally, these findings must be interpreted with caution, given the inherent limitations of observational studies that may significantly affect the validity of the observed associations. While advanced statistical methods can help reduce bias, they cannot fully account for unmeasured or familial confounding.

The Society for Maternal-Fetal Medicine continues to advise that acetaminophen is the recommended first-line medication for the treatment of pain and fever during pregnancy.
