Happy and we'd like to thank the lovely Donna Ashworth for uplifting us/making us cry on a regular basis! 🥹💜

It’s national poetry day

and the launch day of my new book

Joy Chose You.

I love poetry simply for the way it connects hearts and souls. That’s it. Simple. It helps.

ODE TO THE OVERS
If you are an over-thinker, an over-feeler, an over-sharer, an over-healer you will know, that this way of being does not flow. It takes work. To constantly seek light, to stitch wounds, on skin so paper thin it barely holds our souls within. Poetry helps. It unwraps the pain to reveal the source and instantly floods comfort through like a force. Poetry is a pressure release, it helps the mental chatter cease. And when you are down on your knees, let it bring your soul some peace.

In light of recent news, we would like to highlight that the Medicines & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) has confirmed that taking paracetamol during pregnancy remains safe and there is no evidence that it causes autism in children.

You can also take the usual recommended doses of paracetamol if you are breastfeeding. Find more information in our Pain Relief (Analgesics) factsheet:

If you need information on taking any medication while breastfeeding, please contact our The Breastfeeding Network Drugs in Breastmilk Service team on Facebook or via email: druginformation@breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk

If you are unsure about taking any medication when you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you can also talk to your GP, health visitor, or midwife.
