The mental load in early parenthood is real and it’s heavy.

🧠 Remembering appointments
🧦 Keeping up with the washing
📅 Managing visitors and meal prep
📱 Googling things at 2am

If your brain feels full, that’s not failure, it’s a sign you’re carrying too much alone.

This Perinatal Mental Health Week, we’re reminding new parents:

💬 It’s ok to ask for help
📢 It’s ok to say no
📞 It’s ok to talk to someone

Start with your partner, your GP, your midwife or call PANDA on 1300 726 306 for free support.
You are doing a great job. You also deserve support.

You are not failing. You are not alone.

This Perinatal Mental Health Week, let’s make space for real conversations – and remind each other that support is available.

Pre eclampsia is a serious condition of pregnancy marked by high blood pressure and possible organ impact during pregnancy. Know the symptoms so you can seek help early:

⚠️Symptoms include:
• High blood pressure
Headaches that are difficult to treat or do not go away
• Swelling in hands, face or feet
• Blurred or changed vision or light sensitivity
• Upper belly pain or nausea
• Shortness of breath
• Sudden weight/fluid gain

Reporting these early are essential.

Talk to your midwife or obstetrician if you notice any of these signs—or if you’ve had high blood pressure before or are expecting multiples.

It is also possible to have pre-eclampsia without symptoms, so if you have questions or you are concerned, contact your midwife or obstetrician.

It is also possible to have pre-eclampsia without symptoms, so if you have questions or you are concerned, contact your midwife or obstetrician.

Early detection = safer pregnancy for you and bub.

🌸 Today we recognise World Prematurity Day – a time to raise awareness of the 1 in 10 babies born prematurely worldwide, and to acknowledge the strength of these tiny fighters and their families.

At Ramsay Health Care, our maternity teams work closely with highly skilled neonatologists, neonatal nurses, paediatricians and midwives to provide specialised care for babies who need a little extra support at the start of life.

To all the parents navigating the journey of premature birth – we see your strength, resilience and love. 💜

Babies feed for many reasons: hunger, comfort, growth. It’s common for newborns to feed 8 to 12 times per 24 hours.

✅ Feeding cues may include stirring, rooting, hands to mouth. Don’t wait for crying

🕰 Some feeds are quick. Some are long. Some are close together.

Following your baby’s cues (instead of the clock) helps establish a healthy milk supply and supports responsive feeding.

CMV is a common virus that’s usually harmless but if it’s caught during pregnancy, it may affect your baby’s hearing or development. Simple hygiene steps can help keep you and your bub safe:

• Wash hands thoroughly for ≥ 15 seconds after handling children, nappies or dummies
• Avoid sharing food, drinks, utensils or kisses on the lips with young children
• Clean toys, bottles and surfaces regularly

Routine CMV testing isn’t standard in Australia, but if you work with young children or feel unwell, talk to your midwife or obstetrician about screening

Prevention is powerful. These steps help reduce the risk so you can focus on growing your family, safely.
