Safety First This Festive Season

The festive season is all about love, joy, and celebration, but let’s not forget to prioritise safety in every sense, including when it comes to intimacy.
Here are a few gentle reminders to keep the holiday cheer stress-free and healthy:

✨ Protect yourself: If you’re not trying to grow your family just yet, use contraception to prevent unplanned pregnancies.

✨ Safe s*x = Smart choices: Always use protection to reduce the risk of STIs, no matter the season.

✨ Plan ahead: If you’re on birth control, make sure you’re stocked up and sticking to your schedule (don’t let the festive rush throw you off track).

The best gift you can give yourself and your partner is love, respect, and care, for each other and your health. Stay safe, be mindful, and enjoy the magic of the season responsibly!

Fact or Myth?
Is it true that you should check your teeth before pregnancy?

✅ Fact! Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase the risk of gum disease and tooth decay. That’s why dental health is an important part of your pre-pregnancy checklist!

Taking care of your oral health before and during pregnancy helps protect both you and your baby. So, go ahead and schedule that dental checkup, it’s worth the smile! 😁

After bringing your little one into the world, it’s important to be gentle with yourself as you recover. Starting exercise too soon might not be right for everyone, and that’s okay!

✨ Listen to your body: Rest and healing come first, so take it slow when getting back to your usual routine.

✨ Start simple: Gentle walks or pelvic floor exercises are great ways to ease into it.

✨ Get your doctor’s thumbs-up: Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any post-birth exercise.

It is important to keep healthy, regular movement can help your body recover and keep you feeling strong.
Go at a comfortable pace and celebrate all the small steps.

And what a joy it is! 😁 Happy Friday!

Low birth weight (under 2.5kg) can happen for a variety of reasons, and it’s important to know that it doesn’t always indicate a problem.

Here are some common causes:

🌸 Premature birth: Babies born before 37 weeks may not have had enough time to grow to a typical weight.
🌸 Maternal health conditions: Conditions like high blood pressure or diabetes during pregnancy can affect a baby’s growth.
🌸 Poor maternal nutrition: If a mother doesn’t receive enough nutrients, it may impact the baby’s weight.
🌸 Multiple pregnancies: Twins, triplets, and other multiples are often smaller since they share their mother’s womb.

If your baby is born with a low birth weight, your healthcare provider will closely monitor them to ensure they’re healthy and thriving.
