Thrush or BV? They can look similar, but they’re treated differently ☝🏼
Using the wrong treatment can sometimes make symptoms linger or feel worse.
Thick, white and itchy? This is more commonly thrush.
Thin, grey or white with a strong fishy smell? This is more commonly bacterial vaginosis (BV).
Getting the right diagnosis means getting the right relief. If you’re not sure, a quick check with your doctor can help point you in the right direction.

Peri periods can get pretty unpredictable 🤦♀️
Heavier, lighter, closer together or suddenly months apart. Hormone fluctuations can throw everything off, and what used to feel normal might start to change.
If your cycle’s all over the place or symptoms are ramping up, it’s not just part of getting older, it’s a sign your body’s transitioning, and support is available to help you feel balanced again.

Thinking about an early pregnancy scan? Around 7 weeks is usually the right time for your first ultrasound.
At this stage, we can often see a pregnancy developing in the uterus, identify a small embryo, and detect a heartbeat. It’s also when we may be able to confirm whether there’s more than one embryo, such as twins.
Before 7 weeks, scans can feel uncertain. It’s common for the embryo or heartbeat not to be visible yet simply because it’s very early. That uncertainty can cause unnecessary worry, even when everything is progressing normally.
Our aim is for your first scan to offer clarity and reassurance, at a time when it matters most.

Pelvic pain is common, but not normal.
Cramping, burning, aching in your lower belly? It’s not ‘just part of being a woman’. Whether it’s monthly or all the time, your pain is real and worth investigating. Always see your doctor if you are at all concerned 💜
Perimenopause isn’t picked up by one single test. It’s recognised by patterns over time, including:
✨ changes in your cycle
✨ fluctuating symptoms
✨ where you’re at in this stage of life
In this post, explains:
→ why hormone tests don’t always give the full picture
→ the symptoms that often show up together
→ why listening to your lived experience matters
Understanding what’s happening in your body is powerful, especially during change. You deserve evidence-based answers and to be taken seriously.

Think hormone therapy for menopause is dangerous? Think again ☝️
New Australian research shows that for most women under 60, or within 10 years of menopause, menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) can be a safe and effective option, especially for relieving symptoms and protecting bone health.
It may also help improve some heart health markers when started early, but it’s not used to prevent heart disease.
The old studies from the early 2000s don’t reflect what we now know. Timing, type and personal health matter.
Speak with your doctor to find what’s right for you 💜

The first few weeks with a new baby can feel exciting and overwhelming. There’s a lot of advice and a lot of change.
It’s okay to take things one day at a time. Ask questions when you’re unsure, trust your instincts and remember that your baby needs closeness and comfort as they adjust to the world.
You’re learning together, that’s exactly how it should be 🤍
Thanks to .the.midwife for the tips!
