April is Adenomyosis Awareness Month 🫶🏽

Adenomyosis is a condition where the inner lining of the uterus grows into the muscle wall, often leading to an enlarged uterus and significant discomfort.

Common symptoms can include ⬇️

· Heavy or prolonged periods
· Severe cramping
· Pelvic pain
· Bloating
· Fatigue

Experiences can vary from person to person and while there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment, options may include pain management, hormonal therapies, lifestyle support, and in some cases, surgery.

Raising awareness of Adenomyosis helps more people feel seen, heard, and supported.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding symptoms, we encourage you to speak with your Belong O&G doctor 💟

PSA: As the weather starts to change and we move into autumn it’s important to prepare for flu season – especially if you are pregnant or planning to be.

Here are the key immunisations to be aware of that help protect both you and your baby, that you may like to consider👇🏽

· Flu vaccine: recommended during pregnancy and safe at any stage. It helps protect you and your baby after birth
· Whooping cough (pertussis) vaccine: recommended in every pregnancy, ideally between 20-32 weeks
· RSV vaccine: recommended in every pregnancy, ideally between 28-36 weeks

Remember, timing matters as some vaccines are pregnancy specific, so planning ahead is important.

We suggest chatting with your Belong O&G doctor to ensure your immunisations are up to date.

Protecting yourself during pregnancy is also a powerful way to protect your baby. Early planning = peace of mind 💟

Meet our wonderful Practice Midwife, Andrea 🤗

Andrea has been with us at Belong O&G for 9 months and her favourite part of her role is providing care, compassion and advice from her knowledge and experience to a family’s adventure as they prepare to welcome a new little person into their world.

She also loves when that adorable little person comes back to visit the rooms!

Favourite piece of advice for new parents: A labour and birth plan can be a great idea, however, it’s even better if you can be a little flexible. The feeling of pure love, elation, and relief, not disappointment, is what will set you up well for the next chapter of your adventure.

A healthy Mummy and babe are the most important things. Sometimes there are a few curves and hills you were not expecting, but it will be so worth it …remember you are about to meet the little person, who you already love, and have been waiting for, all this time.

Where you’ll find Andrea when she’s not at work: The gym, walking my dog Joey, with friends & family, gardening and I love a glass of bubbles!

Fact: Endometriosis doesn’t have an age limit.

Symptoms can begin from the very first period, and early symptoms are often dismissed as “part of growing up.”

This Endometriosis Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on early signs and why pain should never be ignored 💛

Signs of endometriosis in young women:

· Severe period pain that stops school, sport, work, or social plans
· Pain that isn’t relieved by standard pain relief
· Heavy or prolonged periods (flooding, clots, very long cycles)
· Pain with bowel movements or urination, especially during periods
· Bloating (“endo belly”) that’s painful or persistent
· Extreme fatigue that feels more than just “tired”
· Nausea or vomiting linked to pain
· Digestive symptoms often linked with IBS (diarrhoea, constipation, cramping)
· Pain during exercise or physical activity
· Anxiety around periods because pain is expected and overwhelming

Important reminder: Pain that disrupts daily life is not normal at any age and we are here to help.

Short answer? It can help.. but it’s not a guarantee ☺️

Peeing after s*x is a helpful habit, but it’s one piece of the prevention puzzle, not a foolproof fix.

During in*******se, bacteria (most commonly E.coli) can be pushed toward the urethra.

As such, urinating soon after s*x helps flush bacteria out before it has a chance to travel up to the bladder and cause an infection. In turn, this may lower the risk of contracting a Urinary Tract Infection for some people.

However, what urinating post-in*******se won’t do is sterilise the bladder, prevent all UTIs or help once bacteria has already reached the bladder.

The best practice is to urinate within 15-30 minutes after s*x, stay well hydrated, gently clean the external ge***al area and seek medical advice if UTIs are frequent or persistent.

Meet our wonderful Midwife & Lactation Consultant, Teresa 🤗

Teresa has been a special part of our Belong O&G team for 4 years and while she loves all aspects of her role, she particularly adores being able to help mums through their breastfeeding journey.

Favourite piece of advice for new parents: You will receive lots of different advice once baby is born, but trust your own instincts and do what works for you and your baby.

Where you’ll find Teresa when she’s not at work: Spending time with family, brunch with friends and pilates.
