Pimple breakout? Thank you for this my OB beshie Dra Capella from Nueva Vizcaya. Very simple and ganda ng pag-kaexplain 🙂 Please see us, your OBGYN for your PCOS concerns 💝

When your ovaries start making extra androgens (male hormones), oil glands go into overdrive. Para mas maintindihan: 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐬 → 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐨𝐢𝐥 𝐠𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲 → 𝐜𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 → 𝐚𝐜𝐧𝐞, 𝐨𝐢𝐥𝐲 𝐬𝐤𝐢𝐧, and sometimes hirsutism (hair grows where men typically have hair).

If your breakouts come with irregular periods, hair growth in new places (bigote, baba, dibdib, puson, likod, o hita), or sudden weight changes, it might be time to check for PCOS.😅

✨ DHA rich food for kids, preggy & TTC/PCOS ✨

DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid available in eggs, chicken, salmon and of course our own breastmilk!✨

DHA is important in
✅ fetal brain and eye development
✅ decreases preterm birth
✅ positive effect on mother’s mood postpartum
✅ improves ovarian function & s***m quality & overall fertility
✅ good memory and cognitive brain development for kids

That is why I encourage my TTC couple to add DHA rich food to their diet, start my pregnant patients early DHA supplementation, encourage extended breastfeeding and advise them to make their kids take gummy DHA when they are already around 3-4 years old!

My 8yr old and 12yo kids are taking them daily 💖

✨PCOS Mama Imarie: History of 2 miscarriages but did not give up!✨

To my PCOS/TTC girls, another inspiring story of PCOS + miscarriages but now finally 6 months pregnant!

She went to me last year with history of 1 miscarriage, we tried ovulation induction for the 2nd pregnancy and had another miscarriage 💔

Yes she got sad, of course, but laban pa din kami!

Told her, let’s try again for the 3rd time and let’s pray hard, 1 cycle of induction and here we are now 🥰 Managing her shortened cervix, doing our best to reach term 💕

Thank you for staying and for trusting 💕

Mama life update: My kids’ 1st week of school + flu season again 🥺

Last week was my kids’ 1st week of school! They were so excited to see their friends & play again. I tried to squeeze in sundo time despite my busy clinic sched 🙂

But back-to-school also means flu season 🥺 Small kids are really prone to flu and other viral infections. So let’s just boost their immune system, make sure they are immunized and have them take more fluids, rest and vitamins 🙂

Rocky had fever last Friday but thank God it’s not dengue or anything serious his labs are normal and now he doesn’t have fever and we are trying to get his good appetite back!

I know fellow moms can relate, hirap sila pakainin kapag masama pakiramdam 😣

See you 🏥Unihealth Southwoods Tues 1-3pm 🙂

✨From 2 years TTC to now 2 years breastfeeding exclusively 👩‍🍼🥳

Since we are still celebrating Breastfeeding Week:

I’d like to share an inspiring story of Mommy Aiz & Baby Ixia!

She was TTC for 2 years before she became my telemed patient last 2022, despite not seeing face to face due to pandemic we still achieved our pregnancy goal and then we finally saw each other for face to face prenatals, delivered baby Ixia 2023 and now breastfeeding exclusively for 2 years!

Continue breastfeeding Mommy Aiz you are doing great!!🥳

To the other moms: it doesn’t matter how long or short you breasfed, as long as you tried your best and made an effort 🥰 I’m sure your little ones appreciated that and loved your breastmilk!!

✨ Breastfeeding week - Question of the Day:
Doc Mads, can I still do Unang Yakap even if my baby is preterm? A big YES!!💕

✅As long as baby is stable even if baby is preterm Unang Yakap and early breastfeeding will still be initiated. Baby is around 35-36 weeks but is now breastfeeding directly to Mommy Romelyn 🥰 Good job Mommy!

That’s why it is important to choose your OB and her team of Pedia and nurses! Because breastfeeding support is super important especially in the earlier part of your journey where Moms will be needing guidance 🤱 💕
