Prenatal Acetaminophen Linked to Higher Autism, ADHD Risk

A comprehensive review of 46 studies has raised red flags about acetaminophen use during pregnancy.

The analysis, covering more than 100,000 participants worldwide, found that higher-quality studies consistently linked prenatal exposure to increased risks of autism and ADHD.

Biological mechanisms such as oxidative stress and hormone disruption may explain the association.

These findings emphasize the need for caution, medical oversight, and updated guidelines for expectant mothers.

✨ Post-C-Section Swelling? Here’s How Lymphatic Drainage Can Help! ✨

After a C-section, many mums experience swelling above the scar and around the mons p***s. This is totally normal — your body is healing! But did you know that lymphatic drainage massage can help speed up recovery and reduce that uncomfortable puffiness?

💧 How It Helps:
Lymphatic drainage is a gentle, rhythmic massage that helps move excess fluid and waste through your lymphatic system. After surgery, this system can become sluggish, causing swelling and fluid buildup — especially around the scar area.

💆‍♀️ Benefits for C-Section Recovery:
✅ Reduces swelling and puffiness
✅ Promotes healing of scar tissue
✅ Helps improve circulation
✅ Can relieve tightness and discomfort near the scar
✅ Supports your body’s natural detox process

Always work with a professional who’s trained in post-surgical lymphatic drainage, and be sure your doctor clears you first.

You’ve done something incredible — let your recovery be supported too 💛

🤰☀️ Mums-to-Be: Top Tips for Staying Cool & Safe in the Heat ☀️🤰

Pregnancy in hot weather can be tough — but with a few mindful steps, you can stay comfortable, hydrated, and well-prepared for both you and baby. Here are my top tips for navigating those warmer days:

🌸 Stay Hydrated – Aim for plenty of water throughout the day. Add a slice of lemon or cucumber for a refreshing twist!

🌬️ Cool Down Smart – Use a fan, take lukewarm showers, and wear loose, breathable clothing (natural fabrics like cotton are best).

🕶️ Avoid Peak Heat – Try to stay indoors or in the shade between 11am–3pm. Early mornings or evenings are best for walks.

🥗 Eat Light – Opt for smaller, nutrient-rich meals that support your energy levels without overheating your system.

💤 Rest Often – Don’t feel guilty for putting your feet up. Your body is working hard – rest is essential.

🧴 Protect Your Skin – Pregnancy can make your skin more sensitive. Always use sunscreen and wear a hat outdoors.

👣 Listen to Your Body – Feeling dizzy, swollen, or overly tired? Take it seriously and slow down. Always check in with your midwife if unsure.

You’re growing a tiny human and surviving a heatwave — be kind to yourself 💕. You’re doing amazing.

Massage during pregnancy can help relieve common discomforts such as back pain, swollen joints, and muscle tension. It promotes relaxation, improves circulation, reduces stress and anxiety, and may enhance sleep quality. Prenatal massage can also support overall emotional well-being and help prepare the body for labour.
