The core of everything

🌌💫 Someone else’s light doesn’t dim your own — it simply shows how much room there is in the universe for all of us to shine. Applauding other people’s wins takes nothing away from yours; in fact, it expands your energy. When you celebrate others with genuine joy, you attract more abundance, more love, and more opportunities into your own life.

Jealousy shrinks the spirit, but gratitude and support multiply it. Your journey is unique, your timing is divine, and no one else’s success can ever replace what’s meant for you. So clap loudly, cheer genuinely, and let others’ victories inspire you — because one day, those same voices will echo back to celebrate your own. 🌟🙌

The American College of Nurse-Midwives affirms acetaminophen, also commonly known as Tylenol, remains a safe and effective option for relieving pain and reducing fever during pregnancy when used as directed. Ongoing research and expert reviews continue to support its appropriate use, and pregnant individuals can feel confident using it in consultation with their midwife or other healthcare provider.

ACNM recommends that all midwives counsel pregnant people about getting these vaccines during pregnancy.

As members of the Maternal Immunization Task Force, we work to build partnerships and improve collaboration between healthcare professionals, community-based organizations, administrators, and researchers. As professional organizations whose members care for pregnant people, we affirm the importance of recommending and advocating that pregnant people receive all recommended vaccines at the appropriate time during each pregnancy. The current increase in hesitancy about the safety and efficacy of vaccines has created an environment that calls for our urgent commitment to discussing the evidence-based benefits of vaccination with pregnant people.

Menstrual hygiene is not just a women's issue - it is a public health and human rights issue. Despite menstruation affecting half of the global population, many women and girls continue to face barriers due to limited access and the high cost of menstrual products. Today, the SOGC joins the global community in recognizing World Menstrual Hygiene Day, aimed at breaking the silence, raising awareness and changing negative social norms surrounding menstrual health.

Mother's Day can mean many things.

For some, it's a celebration. For others, a reminder of longing, loss or love unspoken.

If someone you care about might be going through a tough time, take a moment to reach out – a kind message or a genuine conversation can make all the difference.

For those needing help or a listening ear, Lifeline is available on 13 11 14.
