The moment your pregnancy is confirmed is the perfect time to schedule your first prenatal appointment. These early visits are essential for laying the foundation for a healthy, low-stress pregnancy.

What to Expect:
• A full health history and physical exam.
• Blood tests and an initial ultrasound.
• Nutritional and supplement guidance (e.g., folic acid).
• Discussion about medication safety and lifestyle changes.
• Space to ask all your questions - no matter how big or small.
Your pregnancy care is about more than baby’s health - it’s about your health, too. We’re here to support you from day one.

Every birth deserves a thoughtful plan - especially when complications could arise. A clear, flexible birth plan helps you feel informed, prepared, and empowered as you approach the incredible moment of meeting your baby.

But here’s the truth: often, that little human you're baking in there rips up that laminated birth plan and comes breaking every arrangement you so carefully made. And that’s okay.

Birth is unpredictable by nature, which is why flexibility matters just as much as preparation. Whether your journey goes according to plan or takes a few unexpected turns, the goal is always the same: a safe delivery and a supported mother. You don’t have to control every detail - you just need a team that supports you through every possibility.

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but for some women, certain medical or lifestyle factors may classify it as high-risk. This means there’s a greater chance of complications for the mother or baby, requiring extra monitoring and care - not panic, just preparedness.

Common Risk Factors Include:
• Maternal age over 35.
• Pre-existing conditions (e.g. diabetes, high blood pressure, autoimmune disease).
• Carrying multiples.
• Past complications like preterm birth or miscarriage.
• Obesity or underweight.
• Smoking, alcohol use, or substance exposure.

A high-risk pregnancy doesn’t mean something will go wrong - but it does mean we’ll walk this journey together with more intention, support, and care.

The postpartum period is raw, real, and deeply transformative. While you’re bonding with your baby and adjusting to a new rhythm, your body is also recovering - and postpartum bleeding (lochia) is a normal part of that process. Knowing how to care for yourself during this time can bring comfort and confidence to your healing journey.

Here are a few ways to gently support your recovery at home.

05/09/2025

While lochia is a normal part of recovery, there are warning signs every new mother should know. Serious complications like postpartum haemorrhage or infection can happen - even days or weeks after birth.
Contact Your Gynaecologist If You Experience:
• Bleeding that soaks through more than one pad per hour.
• Sudden return to bright red bleeding after it had lightened.
• Large clots (bigger than a golf ball).
• Foul-smelling discharge.
• A fever above 38°C.
• Dizziness, faintness, or severe abdominal pain.

It’s always better to ask - even if you’re unsure. We are here to support your healing journey every step of the way.

04/09/2025

After childbirth, your body begins the complex process of recovery. One of the most noticeable aspects of this is postpartum bleeding - also known as lochia. It’s your body’s natural way of expelling the blood, tissue, and mucus that supported your baby throughout pregnancy.

Spring exists to remind us that everything can begin again. Just like the flowers, women bloom in their own time. 🌼

To the women who are still planting seeds, to those blossoming in full colour, and to those quietly growing in the shade - you are beautiful in every phase.

Here’s to fresh starts, renewed energy, and blooming into who you’re meant to be. With love from Dr Donée and the team.

Hormonal health isn’t one-size-fits-all. That’s why personalised care is so important. Once we’ve identified which hormones are out of balance, we’ll create a treatment plan that suits your unique biology, lifestyle, and symptoms.

Possible Treatment Options:
• Lifestyle changes like stress management and regular movement.
• A tailored nutrition plan with hormone-supportive foods.
• Supplements for adrenal and thyroid health.
• Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) if indicated.
• Treatment of underlying conditions like PCOS or thyroid dysfunction.

Dr Donée takes a holistic approach, looking at the whole picture - not just isolated symptoms. You deserve to feel like yourself again.

A recent South African study found that over 56% of unvaccinated girls (aged 17–18) tested positive for high-risk HPV. This is not just a statistic - it’s a wake-up call.

🔬 HPV can affect anyone, but women face the greatest long-term risks, including cervical cancer. Early vaccination and regular screening can change that.

Let’s raise awareness, encourage education, and protect the next generation.

Did you know the HPV vaccine protects against several types of HPV that cause cervical cancer and ge***al warts?

Anyone aged 9 to 45 can benefit from the vaccine, which is most effective before exposure to the virus. The vaccine is administered in 2 or 3 doses, depending on age and health factors and it could be a life-saving decision.

💉Protects against cervical, vaginal & vulvar cancers.
💉Prevents ge***al warts in both women and men.
💉Safe and effective.

Vaccination does not replace routine Pap smears - but it’s a powerful first line of defence.

Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections, and you can get it through intimate skin-to-skin contact - even if your partner shows no symptoms. In fact, nearly everyone will contract HPV at some point in their lives.

While most HPV infections clear up on their own, persistent high-risk strains can cause cervical, vaginal, vulvar, and a**l cancers.

Early education and awareness can help prevent serious complications.
