UNicola Dunnicliff-Wells, ingcali yezemfundo yokukhwela ibhayisekile kunye nomama, uqinisekisile ukuba kukhuselekile ngexesha lophando.

Kuvunywa ngokubanzi ukuba umthambo rhoqo uluncedo kubafazi abakhulelweyo. Umthambo ofanelekileyo unokugcina imvakalelo yokuphila kakuhle ngexesha lokukhulelwa, unceda umzimba ukuba ulungiselele ukuzala, kwaye unceda umzimba ukuba uphile kwakhona emva kokuzala.

UGlenys Janssen, umongikazi osebenza njengombelekisi kwiRoyal Women's Hospital Childbirth Education and Training Unit, ukhuthaza abafazi abakhulelweyo ukuba benze umthambo, ekhankanya izibonelelo ezininzi.

"Ikunceda ukuba uzazi kwaye ikwanceda ekulawuleni ubunzima."

Izinga lesifo seswekile phakathi kwabasetyhini abakhulelweyo liyanda kakhulu, ikakhulu ngenxa yokuba abafazi abaninzi batyebile kakhulu.

"Ukuba uzilolonga rhoqo, amathuba okuba ube nesifo seswekile mancinci kwaye uyakwazi ukulawula ubunzima bakho."

UGlenys uthe abanye abantu bakhathazekile kukuba umthambo unokubangela ukuphuphuma kwesisu okanye ukwenzakalise umntwana, kodwa akukho phando lubonisa ukuba umthambo ophakathi unemiphumo emibi ekukhulelweni okuqhelekileyo nokusempilweni.

“Ukuba kukho iingxaki, ezinje ngokuzalwa kwabantwana abaninzi, uxinzelelo lwegazi oluphezulu, musa ukuzilolonga, okanye wenze umthambo ophakathi phantsi kwesikhokelo sikagqirha okanye ingcali yezonyango.”
