Hirsutism can show up in a few common areas, and it often looks different from person to person.

It most commonly affects places like the upper lip and chin, chest, arms, and legs, where hair may become thicker or darker than expected.

If this feels frustrating or confusing, you’re not overreacting. It’s often linked to hormones (including PCOS), and understanding the pattern can be the first step toward getting the right support.

If you’re navigating PCOS and looking for guidance, Dr. Bodasingh is here to help!📝

Birth plans can be helpful, but they’re also flexible.

Sometimes labour unfolds naturally, and sometimes medical support is needed along the way.

What matters most is having the right information, guidance, and care to make decisions that feel right for your situation.

If you’re looking for a caring, compassionate, and supportive OBGYN to walk with you through your pregnancy journey, Dr. Bodasingh is here to do just that.🤰🏽

There's something truly magical about watching a baby grow through ultrasound scans, then getting to meet them in real life!

Seeing those tiny toes and little fingers that once appeared on a screen now here, perfect and real, brings such joy.

Being part of a family's journey from the very beginning is what makes obstetrics so special for us 💕

Today, we held a free workshop for parents-to-be where no question felt silly or off-limits!

Being in a room with others navigating the same journey made it easier to open up, share experiences, and learn from one another.

With a team of healthcare professionals working together, parents were guided through the full pregnancy journey - from the first trimester right through to the fourth - in a way that felt informative, comforting, and deeply human.

Thank you to Melomed and everyone who joined - you helped make it feel like the supportive, judgment-free space we'd hoped to create. Your openness and curiosity reminded us why we do this work.🩷

This Pregnancy Awareness Week, I want to speak to you - not just as a doctor, but as a mom too 🤍

I’ve carried two pregnancies, and I can tell you honestly: no two journeys are ever the same. One may feel calm and empowering, another uncertain and overwhelming. And every single experience is valid.

If you’re pregnant right now (whether this is your first time or your fourth) please know that your feelings MATTER. Your body is doing something extraordinary, even on the days it doesn’t feel like it.

You don’t have to walk this journey alone - this Saturday, I’ll also be hosting a FREE workshop for parents-to-be with Melomed Richards Bay and other incredible healthcare professionals - a space to talk openly, share guidance, and ask questions in a supportive environment.

If you’re expecting and would like to join us, we’d love to have you. 💕

Every birth story is different - and sometimes, decisions need to be made quickly to keep both mom and baby safe.

In this case, the mom required a preterm delivery due to an abnormal position of the baby, which meant a Caesarean section was the safest option.

A classical Caesarean is a less common type of C-section where a vertical incision is made on the uterus, while the skin incision is usually the standard transverse (Pfannenstiel) incision. This approach allows quicker access and more space in complex or high-risk situations.

If you’re pregnant and looking for an OBGYN who offers thoughtful, personalised care, you may find your perfect match in Dr. Bodasingh. 🤰🏽

Prenatal screening helps us understand your baby’s health earlier than ever before.

For some parents, it brings reassurance and peace of mind. For others, it provides important information to help them prepare and plan ahead. Either way, it allows us to support you sooner and manage anything that may need extra care.

If you have questions about prenatal screening or want to explore your options, Dr Bodasingh and our team are here to guide you through every step.🩷

Folic acid supports your baby’s earliest development - often before you even realise you’re pregnant!

It helps with healthy cell growth and plays an important role in how the baby’s spine and brain form in those early weeks. Taking folic acid before conception and during early pregnancy is widely recommended as part of prenatal care.

If you’re unsure about when to start or what dose is right for you, Dr Bodasingh can guide you with personalised advice.💛

"Premenopause comes with physical changes, but recognizing the symptoms makes them easier to manage:

➡️ Hot flashes
➡️ Niight sweats
➡️ Vaginal dryness

Identifying these patterns helps you distinguish what's normal and protect your future health. If you're still unsure or experiencing discomfort, Dr Bodasingh is happy to guide you and help you find what works best for your body.
