tips for mother for having another child

If you are thinking of having another child, you should keep this tip, wait for at least a year. This is because optimal birth spacing benefits both mother and child, said Dr. Beh Suan Tiong, president of the Obstetrical and Gynecological Society of Singapore (OGSS).

Optimal birth spacing means allowing for an interval between births that results in the best health and social outcomes for the family.
" It gives women time for their bodies to recover from a birth and return to a stable nutritional status after the previous pregnancy, " said Dr Beh, who is also an obstetrician and gynecologist at Thomson Medical Centre.

Thus, conceiving another child within six months of delivery poses health risks. For example, the mother may suffer from anemia due to a lack of iron, which is essential in red blood cells, he said.
