Feeling unusually tired or dizzy? It could be your iron levels.

Iron is essential for making haemoglobin, supporting your energy and keeping your baby healthy during pregnancy.

Top tips for boosting iron:
🩸 Eat iron-rich foods like red meat, beans, and leafy greens
🩸 Pair plant-based iron with vitamin C for better absorption
🩸 Check with your doctor if you feel unusually fatigued

A little awareness goes a long way and your body (and baby) will thank you for it.

Your care doesn’t end once your baby is born 💜

At around 6 weeks after birth, I’ll see you and your little one for a postnatal visit.

This is an important time to:

👶 Check on both your health and your baby’s wellbeing
👶 Talk through contraception options
👶 Support you with any breastfeeding or lactation concerns
👶 Perform a Pap smear if needed
👶 Gently plan for the future, including any next pregnancy

This visit is about making sure you feel supported, cared for and confident as you move into this next chapter of motherhood.

Did you know your heart actually grows during pregnancy? 💓

Your body pumps 30–50% more blood to support you and your baby, it’s pretty incredible, right?

Love, care and connection grow alongside too.

Pregnancy changes so much in your body and heart, please remember, I’m here to guide and support you every step of the way.

Today we are going to talk about cervical health.

Understanding cervical health is essential for protecting yourself and supporting a healthy pregnancy. 💜

The new Cervical Screening Test (CST) has replaced the Pap smear and is more effective at preventing cervical cancer. It detects high-risk HPV, which can cause changes to the cervix that may lead to cancer if left untreated.

If your result is normal, the good news is that you only need this test every five years.

If you’re due for your CST or have questions, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Be sure to reach out.

When Should You Call the Hospital?

Pregnancy comes with a lot of questions, but some moments need immediate attention. Save this list so you know exactly when to call:

1️⃣ You notice a decrease in your baby’s movements.
Trust your instincts…if baby isn’t moving like usual, we always want to hear from you.
2️⃣ Your waters break.
This can be a gush or a slow trickle. Either way, give us a call so we can guide you on next steps.
3️⃣ You have abdominal pain or bleeding.
Don’t wait or wonder. Reach out right away.
4️⃣ You feel something isn’t quite right.
Even if you can’t explain it, your gut feeling matters. If you’re worried, call.
5️⃣ Labour has started and you have regular contractions.

Especially if they’re getting stronger and closer together, it’s time to check in.

Remember: You are never bothering us.
Your peace of mind and your baby’s wellbeing are always worth the call.

Those first cuddles… nothing compares.

In the early weeks, skin-to-skin contact isn’t just about bonding it also helps regulate your baby’s temperature, breathing and heart rate. For parents, it releases oxytocin, helping you feel calmer and more connected.

These quiet, gentle moments matter so much.

💜 Paracetamol in Pregnancy: Safe and Reassuring 💜

You may have seen headlines suggesting paracetamol in pregnancy could increase the risk of autism or ADHD. This is NOT SUPPORTED by strong scientific evidence.

The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RANZCOG) confirms that robust studies show no link between paracetamol use in pregnancy and neurodivergence. When used as directed, it is safe for managing pain and fever.

Always use medications responsibly and consult your doctor or midwife if you have questions as your peace of mind matters.
