🌡️ Extreme heat isn’t just uncomfortable — it can have harmful health impacts on pregnant women and people.

As summers become hotter and heatwaves intensify across Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand, emerging evidence highlights the growing impact of extreme heat and bushfire smoke on pregnancy and reproductive health.

Research shows associations with increased risks of preterm birth, stillbirth, subfertility and adverse mental health impacts, with some populations disproportionately affected.

With heatwaves affecting many regions in Australia this week, it’s important that pregnant people:
💧 Stay well hydrated
🏠 Stay indoors and in cooled spaces where possible
🏥 Seek medical attention if experiencing symptoms of heat stress

🔗 Read more in Dr Ying Gu, Dr Marnie Slonim and Dr Grant Silbert’s article ‘Staying Safe This Summer: Reducing Pregnancy Risks from Extreme Heat and Bushfires’ in the latest O&G Magazine.

In January, we raise awareness of Obstetric A**l Sphincter Injuries (OASIs), a crucial yet often overlooked aspect of maternal health.

OASIs occur in 3% of all births and 6% of first vaginal births. They are also the most common cause of a**l incontinence in women worldwide, significantly impacting quality of life.

Join us in promoting understanding, prevention, and support for those affected by OASIs.

January is Cervical Awareness Month 💙
It’s a time to raise awareness about cervical health and the importance of regular screening.
✨ Do not fear, get that smear ✨
A simple smear test can help detect changes early, often before they become serious. Looking after your cervical health is an important part of looking after you.
Let’s break the stigma, spread awareness, and encourage each other to take that step toward prevention and early detection. 💪

Dear friends, and fellow travellers,

1 January is a special pause in the rhythm of life.
A moment to reset, to renew, and to recharge.
A time to look ahead, not just to another year, but to another chapter filled with hope, purpose, and joy.

It is a year to create memories, to wander gently down lanes of nostalgia, and to invest in a life of meaning, one that brings us closer to peace and fulfilment.

It is also a time to celebrate each other’s accomplishments, to deepen our relationships, to be teachers and role models for one another, and to look at the world around us with empathy, care, curiosity, and quiet contemplation.

Today, 1 January 2026, is even more special.
It marks a milestone. We have completed the first quarter of this century.

For most of us, this has been a defining and deeply eventful quarter of our lives.
What we have experienced, what we have achieved, endured, and learned, has shaped who we are. It has been a melting pot of joyful moments, challenging times, and memories that will stay with us forever.

And as the saying goes: some we win, and some we learn.

As we turn the page to 2026, we do so with intention,
to consolidate our gains,
to course-correct our misses,
and to build lives anchored in purpose.

Lives we will be proud of when we look back at the end of the next chapter.

And so, as we step forward together, let us remember this:
life is not measured only in years, achievements, or milestones, but in moments of presence, kindness, courage, and connection.

It will be a life we will be proud of when we look back at the end of the next chapter,
one lived so fully and so meaningfully that, when the time comes, we can say with quiet certainty:

We lived. And we truly did.

Dr Naguesh Gaunekar
