Today is World Asthma Day 🫁

In the UK there are around 7.2 million people living with asthma. 1 in 11 children and 1 in 12 adults

Common triggers include pollen, animals/pets, house dust mites, cold or flu infection, cigarette smoke, other environmental irritants, and cold weather. In some children, exercise, changes in air temperature and stress can also provoke wheezy episodes

Asthma causes a range of breathing problems including

Wheezing
Coughing
Breathlessness
Tight chest

An asthma attack needs to be treated promptly with your medication, if there is no improvement you must seek immediate medical help. Preventers (inhalers) are used to reduce the inflamed areas of the lungs and to prevent the symptoms of asthma from occurring

It is common for children with asthma to also have hay fever. It is important that hay fever symptoms are well managed as the conditions can exacerbate each other

4 people die every day due to asthma attacks and 2/3rds of these deaths are found to have been preventable - make sure your child has a clear asthma plan and takes their medication as prescribed even when well

The theme for this years International Day of the Midwife is '1 million more midwives' to reflect the urgent need for more midwives on a global level

As a midwife myself (only occasionally now) I have many, many stories of wonderful midwives supporting families throughout their pregnancies and beyond 🤰🤱

I fondly remember my own midwives from my pregnancy, births and postnatal period 💙

I am lucky enough that some of the families I have come to know have followed me through to my First Aid career, some of those babies have completed their Junior Medic training and some of the expectant families I care for have joined me for First Aid for Parents ⛑

Take a moment today to remember what an amazing job midwives do, usually under intense pressure, 365 days a year 24 hours a day 🩷

This week is Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week, where the Perinatal Mental Health Partnership, along with The Maternal Mental Health Alliance, raise awareness around perinatal mental health problems, which include during pregnancy and up to 2 years after birth

This year marks 10 years of them raising awareness for a condition that is now thought to affect at least 1 in 4 women

Most people have heard of Postnatal Depression but Maternal Mental Health covers such a wide range of conditions and can occur during pregnancy as well as the postnatal period. These conditions can affect women for the first time during pregnancy and beyond. They include, but are not exclusive to, the following:

Anxiety and Panic Attacks
Depression
Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
Bipolar Disorder
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Fear of childbirth (tokophobia)
Postnatal Depression
Eating Disorders
Postpartum Psychosis

There is lots of support both locally and nationally, which can be accessed through the social media and websites below

Together we can try and reduce the stigma around mental health conditions and signpost to support when needed
