Let’s talk about the signs your body may be asking for a break, and why child spacing isn’t selfish or unnecessary… it’s smart.
1. You’re Still Recovering From the Last Pregnancy
Let’s be real, you haven’t fully bounced back.
Your waist still hurts
You get dizzy standing up
You’re tired even after sleeping
You don’t feel like yourself yet
Pregnancy empties your body’s savings account — nutrients, energy, strength. When pregnancies come too close, there’s no time to refill. That’s why doctors recommend child spacing.
Not sure how much rest your body actually needs? You can call Honey & Banana’s FREE helpline, 7790 to speak with a nurse who can explain it clearly, based on your situation.
2. Your Mind Is Overloaded (Yes, It Counts)
Child spacing isn’t only physical, it’s mental too. You may feel – Easily irritated; Overwhelmed by small things; Emotionally drained; Anxious at the thought of another pregnancy
Back-to-back pregnancies can stretch you emotionally thin. And when the mother is struggling mentally, the whole household feels it.
3. Your Last Pregnancy was not Beans
If you had heavy bleeding, high blood pressure, a difficult labour, a C-section, or serious weakness after delivery — sister, your body needs more time.
Getting pregnant again too soon increases risks. Spacing reduces them.

4. Let’s Talk Money
Yes, children are a blessing, but this kain blessing go chop food. Another baby means more food, more hospital bills, more school fees, more pressure.
Child spacing gives families breathing room, so you’re not always playing catch-up. It’s not fewer children, it’s better care.
5. You’re Still Breastfeeding, Remember?
Breastfeeding already takes a lot from your body. Getting pregnant again too soon can affect your milk, your energy, your recovery, and the baby you’re nursing.
Spacing helps you nourish your current baby while protecting your health.
Rest Is Not Weakness
Let’s be clear:
Your body is not a machine.
Your womb is not a race track.
Your health is not negotiable.
Taking a break isn’t quitting — it’s choosing strength.
If your body is showing these signs, listen to it. And if you’re unsure what the next step should be, call 7790 to speak with a nurse for FREE. Ask your questions. Get the facts. Protect yourself. Because a healthy mother is not just good for herself — she is the foundation of the entire family.
