There’s something that happens when you finally sit down in that fertility chair.

Stress starts to ease, cortisol drops, and the body finally exhales.

We see it all the time, people who book their appointment and then fall pregnant naturally before even starting treatment.

The chair isn’t magic. The moment is.

And if that moment doesn’t happen for you, don’t worry. The science next door is pretty amazing too.

We thought we’d save you the Google search!

When it comes to medication during pregnancy, as a general rule of thumb: clear it with your OB first.

Whether it’s over-the-counter medications or previously prescribed, there is no harm in asking your doctor if this is the right move for you and your baby.

If you aren’t sure, feel free to come through and chat to our OBs about any concerns you might have.

We’re here to help guide you through your pregnancy and make this process a smoother one for you.

Unrealistic beauty standards are not a new phenomenon and just when you think you’ve seen it all, a new one pops up.

Labiaplasties have become increasingly popular & it’s exactly what you think it is.

Our very own Dr Vinay Rane chatted with all about the surgery that has been gaining traction across Hollywood and now to social media.

Pushed in the products that we sell to women to make their ge****ls more desirable, pushed in various media forms that there is only one look to achieve — it’s almost impossible to escape.

It’s also because we aren’t having enough conversations that normalise that all ge****ls look different.

There is a price that can come from “perfection” that many don’t realise.

That being said, this isn’t simply a surgical issue. It’s about protecting vulnerable patients and providing accurate education.

With so many different symptoms, PCOS can manifest differently in different people.

If you’ve experienced unexplained weight gain, excessive and rapid hair growth, irregular periods, or even any pain near your ovaries — it could be PCOS!

Whilst we are still searching for a cure, there are ways to live life whilst learning to manage it.

We’ll tell you everything above but as always, it’s best to come and chat to a doctor to rule anything out.

We hear a lot about women breastfeeding, but not enough talk about the fact it can be a learning curve.

There is the assumption that breastfeeding is easy, comes naturally and no one struggles with adapting to it.

The truth is that if you find breastfeeding hasn’t been as easy for you, you’d be surprised by how many women would also share that same experience.

We’re here to give you a little encouragement and also some tips that may help you adapt.
