Having a new pēpi is an incredible experience… and a big change for māmā and whānau. 🤔

This week for Perinatal Mental Health Awareness Week, we had a kōrero with Tracey, our Ūkaipō, who shares more about these changes — and what they can look and feel like in the early days of parenting. 🤍

As we settle into this new season, it’s completely normal to feel unsure, overwhelmed, or scared at times. 🙏

Over the coming videos and weeks, we’ll talk about what’s common in the early days, how to recognise when you or your whānau might need extra tautoko, what support is available, and simple tools that can help along the way. ❤️‍🔥

Our Nēhi Mātanga Hā (respiratory nurse), Annalise, has put together some tohutohu to support you and your whānau living with asthma. 🫁

🌿 Create a healthy whare
A warm, dry whare is important for everyone, but especially for whānau with a respiratory condition. Damp and cold homes can make symptoms worse and lead to more māuiui. Keeping your whare dry, warm, and free from pollution can help support easier breathing, improve hauora, and even save energy. 👀

Talk with your tākuta about your asthma care plan, or reach out to our Nēhi Mātanga Hā for tautoko and support with managing your asthma.

Think the flu shot can give you flu? 🤧 Let’s have a kōrero about this pōhēhē.

Pono (Truth):
Kao. The flu vaccine is made from an inactivated virus — it cannot cause rewharewha (flu). You might feel a little achy or have a mild fever for a day or two. That’s just your tinana learning to protect itself, not the flu. 🧐

It takes 1–2 weeks for full protection, so if you get māuiui before then, it’s because your immunity is still building, not the vaccine.

👉🏿 Tiakina te Ora - protect your whānau before flu spreads.

Walk in or book your flu vaccination.
