This was our first case of 2026, and a reminder of how important it is to listen to your body 🤍

Through careful investigations like colposcopy (looking at the cervix), hysteroscopy (looking inside the uterus), and endometrial sampling, we’re able to find answers and provide reassurance for cases such as postmenopausal bleeding.

Dr. Bodasingh specialises in gynaecological care, with a calm and patient-centred approach

If something feels off, trust your body and don’t hesitate to book a consultation 🌸

Cleft lip and cleft palate may sound similar, but they affect different areas of the face and develop at different stages of early pregnancy.

→ A cleft lip occurs when the upper lip doesn’t fully form in the early weeks, creating a visible gap that can vary in size.

→ A cleft palate happens when the roof of the mouth doesn’t close completely a little later on, which can involve the hard palate, soft palate, or both.

These conditions are linked to early development and genetics - not something caused by anything you did or didn’t do. Understanding the difference can help parents.

Gestational diabetes isn't caused by anything you did or didn't do.

During pregnancy, hormonal changes affect how your body uses insulin, which can naturally raise blood sugar levels. It’s not your fault - it’s simply how the body adapts.

If you're need any kind of guidance during your pregnancy, come book an appointment with Dr. Bodasingh and the team 🩷

Menstrual cups are reusable, eco-friendly, and convenient, but proper use matters:

Relax & position: Squat, sit, or stand and release your muscles to make insertion easier.
Fold & insert: Use a C-fold and guide the cup slowly toward your tailbone.
Adjust for comfort: If it pinches or sits too low, gently twist or reposition until it feels right.

Clean hands, proper sterilizing, and choosing the right size keep your cup safe and comfortable.

Every one of our birth stories are different, but our goal is always the same:

a safe welcome for you and your little one 🤍

Last week, we welcomed a beautiful new life via Caesarean section. When a C-section is needed, it’s because protecting mom and baby comes first.

Be kind to your body as it recovers - you are no less a mother for it.

Pads, tampons, and menstrual cups all work differently, and each interacts with your body in its own way. There’s no one “best” product. The safest option is the one that works for your body, feels comfortable, and respects your health. Listen to your body, follow safe practices, and embrace what feels right.

Many people assume that bladder leaks or pelvic discomfort are just part of getting older or having kids—but that’s not true. Your pelvic floor muscles are strong when trained, and even if they’ve weakened over time, you can rebuild them.

Symptoms like sneezing or laughing leaks, heaviness, or difficulty controlling your bladder are your body asking for attention. The good news? Simple, consistent pelvic floor exercises can restore strength, improve control, and boost confidence.

Your pelvic floor deserves care—start small, stay consistent, and notice the difference.

If you need urgent care during this period, Dr Bodasingh and the on-call team are still available at Melomed Maternity/Casualty for any emergencies.

Wishing you and your family a safe, peaceful holiday season.🩷

Ever find yourself craving something unusual during pregnancy? Your body might actually be trying to tell you something!

❄️Ice (Pagophagia) = iron
🪨Clay or Dirt (Geophagia) = zinc
🐄Chalk = calcium
🥒Pickles/olives = sodium
🍊Sour foods = vitamin C

Cravings can be more than just a quirky habit, they might be a sign your body needs certain minerals. Listen, nourish, and give your body what it’s asking for!

Craving ice, chalk, or even soil during pregnancy? It’s not entirely strange.🧊

This can be a sign of pica, a condition linked to nutrient deficiencies (often low iron). While some cravings may seem harmless, others can be unsafe if left unchecked.

If you’re experiencing unusual cravings, it’s worth a conversation. Don’t hesitate to book an appointment with Dr Bodasingh for guidance and support throughout your pregnancy journey.🧡

For years, women have been made to feel like they must “smell sweet” or be constantly “fresh.”

But the truth is simple: a healthy va**na has a natural scent - and that’s normal.

Those “freshness” products often do more harm than good. Scented washes, wipes, and douches can upset your pH and lead to irritation or infection.

Some healthy vulval hygiene basics:

• Rinse with warm water only (no internal soaps)
• Choose breathable cotton underwear
• Wipe front to back
• Skip scented wipes, washes, and douches

If something feels off or you’re unsure what’s normal, Dr. Bodasingh is here to help you understand your body safely and confidently.💛
