Polycystic O***y Syndrome can show up in many different ways. Some women notice irregular cycles, others struggle with acne, weight changes, or unwanted hair growth. It can feel frustrating and confusing, but the important thing to remember is that PCOS is treatable and you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Effective management begins with understanding your hormones and how they’re influencing your symptoms. From there, we can build a plan tailored specifically to you. This may include lifestyle adjustments, targeted medication, or support if you’re working toward pregnancy. The goal is always the same: helping you feel healthier, more balanced, and more in control.

If you’re ready to explore your options, we’re here to help.

Pregnancy can make hot weather feel even hotter, and you are definitely not alone if the summer sun is wearing you out. The combination of extra weight, fluid retention and rising temperatures can make things uncomfortable, but there are simple ways to help you stay cool.

Try wearing loose, breathable fabrics that allow air to flow easily around your bump.

Consider swapping your usual walk for a gentle swim, which can help you cool down and take pressure off your joints.

Keep a small spray bottle of chilled water in your bag for a quick refresh on your face and arms.

Drink plenty of cool water throughout the day and rest in the shade whenever you can.

A few small adjustments can make a big difference in how you feel.

Understanding Anti-D in Pregnancy

If you’ve been told you’re Rh Negative, you might hear your care provider talk about Anti-D injections. Here’s what that means for you and your baby.

Your blood type includes something called the Rh factor. If you’re Rh Negative and your baby is Rh Positive, even a small mix of blood can prompt your immune system to create antibodies against those Rh Positive cells. This usually doesn’t affect the first pregnancy, but in future pregnancies these antibodies can cross the placenta and harm an Rh Positive baby. In severe cases, this can lead to Haemolytic Disease of the Foetus and Newborn (HDFN).

Anti-D injections help prevent this by clearing away any Rh Positive cells before your body recognises them as foreign. They’re usually given at 28 weeks, 34 weeks, and again after birth if your baby is found to be Rh Positive.

If you’re Rh Negative, we’ll talk through this fully in your appointments so you feel supported and informed every step of the way.

Let’s talk sunscreen and pregnancy!

If you’re expecting, you might be wondering whether sunscreen is safe to use... and the reassuring answer is yes! The amount that’s absorbed through the skin is very small and not considered harmful to your baby.

If you’d like extra peace of mind, choose mineral-based options that use zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These form a gentle barrier on the surface of your skin rather than being absorbed.

No matter which sunscreen you choose, remember the basics: slip on a shirt, slop on SPF, slap on a hat, seek shade, and slide on sunnies. Keeping you and your bump protected is what matters most. 💛

The time from pregnancy to those first years with your baby can be beautiful but it can also be incredibly demanding. Between the sleepless nights, shifting hormones, and big life changes, it’s no wonder many parents feel anxious or low during this period.

Perinatal Mental Health Week is here to remind us that support matters. For mums, dads, and families alike. It’s okay to admit that things feel hard. Reaching out for help doesn’t mean you’re failing; it means you’re taking care of yourself and your family.

If you ever need someone to talk to, you can always bring it up at your appointment or contact PANDA (Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Australia) for support.

Did you know that more than 26,000 Australian babies are born prematurely each year? That means they arrive before reaching 37 weeks of pregnancy.

Babies born this early often need extra care in hospital, which can be a challenging time, both emotionally and financially, for families. While sometimes there’s no clear reason why preterm birth happens, we do know that certain physical, emotional, and environmental factors can increase the risk.

You can help lower your chances by avoiding smoking and alcohol, staying active with gentle exercise, keeping up with your antenatal visits and screenings, and surrounding yourself with strong emotional and social support.

If you’re concerned you might have risk factors, please mention it at your next appointment. We can discuss your situation and make sure you have the best possible care and support. 💕
