Libido is not a personality trait. It is a moving target.

It shifts with stress, sleep, hormones, mental load, health, kids, and the state of your relationship. Mismatched libido is common. Low libido is common. And it does not mean something is broken.

Desire looks different for different people. For many women it is responsive rather than spontaneous. Both are normal, and both change over time💜

Invisible pain has a way of being brushed aside. Endometriosis hits hardest because it hides in plain sight. When symptoms keep coming back, people start to doubt what they can’t see, and that doubt can be just as damaging as the disease itself.

Endo is genuinely debilitating. We need more understanding, better education and far more support for the people living with it every day.

Braxton Hicks are essentially practice contractions that tighten the uterus without causing the cervix to open.

What people don’t often mention is that they can still be really uncomfortable. If rest, hydration or simple analgesics aren’t easing them, it’s always a good idea to check in with your care team 💜

Debunking common women’s health misconceptions 💜

There’s a ton of misinformation out there, and most of it isn’t shared with bad intentions. Sometimes things just get repeated enough that they start to sound true.

Lets set the record straight.

What does breaking your waters ACTUALLY mean?

It’s when the membrane around your baby opens and the fluid that’s been cushioning them starts to come away. It can catch you off guard, but it isn’t something to fear. It’s simply your body signalling that labour is starting and the time has arrived 💜

Pregnancy after 35 can feel like a lot to take in, but it’s far more common and far more supported than many realise. Almost a quarter of all births in Australia are to women 35 and over, and our entire obstetrics system is built to care for this age group with accuracy, compassion and clarity.

Fertility may drift down with time, and risks do change, but so does the quality of care. Prenatal testing is incredibly accurate, routine screening is standard, and most women who begin pregnancy in good health go on to have healthy, happy babies.

And here’s the part people don’t talk about enough. Many parents in their 30s are more grounded. They ask sharper questions, they show up to their appointments, and they’re often living lives that feel more stable than the chaos of their teens and 20s.

There’s no perfect moment to start a family. There’s also no wrong one.

Medicine is evolving at a pace we can barely keep up with. Kids born today may step into a world where living to 120 is possible.

The future of health is changing fast and their lives will look very different because of it.

Every day, there are people who quietly dedicate their lives to helping others. They show up, give their time and energy, and make life a little better for everyone around them.

Their work often goes unseen, but its impact is everywhere.

If you know someone who gives so much of themselves to help others, take a moment to tell them you appreciate them. It might mean more than you realise 💜

Why are women’s health services still separated from the rest of medicine?

Women’s health is so much more than pregnancy and periods. It includes heart health, chronic pain, mental wellbeing, hormonal care and the countless issues that can’t be boxed into one specialty.

We have long outgrown the idea that support for women should live in one building. Women deserve integrated care where specialists collaborate and act quickly.

If the system feels fragmented you are not alone. You deserve access, coordination and a team that sees the whole you.

Whether your caesarean is planned weeks ahead or decided in minutes, the goal never changes — a safe delivery for mum and baby.

Behind every C-section is a team working calmly, quickly and with precision.

Here’s what really happens, step by step.

What ACTUALLY happens to your breasts during pregnancy?

Behind all the soreness is a complete overhaul. Glandular tissue grows, blood flow increases and milk-making ducts begin branching in the background.

The level of biological re-design happening in just 9 months is truly remarkable.

For most mums, work life balance is a complete myth.
