Turning an unexpected moment into a manageable one: why packing a period kit is a great way to teach young girls that periods are normal, natural and nothing to hide.

In Australia, the average age for a girl’s first period is from 12-13 years old. However, they can begin as early as 9 years old or as late as 15-16 years old.

Being prepared can make a big difference on the day their period begins. Preparation builds confidence and confidence is everything ✨

Items we recommend as a great base for a kit (put together in a small pouch or bag that looks like a pencil case) include:

· Slim pads (2-3)
· Pantyliner (1-2)
· Spare pair of underwear or period specific underwear
· Small pack of unscented wipes
· Zip-lock bag to use for discarded underwear
· Mini hand sanitiser

You may also like to include a short, reassuring note or instruction card 💟

Do you only associate your pelvic floor with postpartum recovery?

If so, we’re here to remind you that your pelvic floor is the key to health, at all ages and stages!

A strong pelvic floor is vital for:

· Supporting core strength & stability
· Preventing and managing bladder leaks
· Supporting sexual health
· Pregnancy and post-partum
· Reducing the risk of prolapse
· Aiding in bowel control

Like any muscle, the pelvic floor gets stronger with regular practice. We suggest engaging in simple moves such as kegel exercises, deep breathing with core engagement, squats, bridge pose and regular posture checks.

To gain a better understanding of these moves and building your pelvic floor strength, speak to your Belong O&G doctor, or, make an appointment with in-house physio, 🫶🏽

Giving birth is one of life’s most precious experiences & a time that is incredibly exciting to plan for!

Of course, the best made plans don’t always work out when it comes to the arrival of a beautiful baby 😌

Today we recognise the millions of babies born prematurely throughout the world each year, just like beautiful Belong O&G twins, Darcy & Scarlett 😍😍

While there are many instances where a preterm birth is unavoidable, high-quality care during pregnancy can lead to a reduction in occurrence.

Preventative efforts for preterm birth include early and regular prenatal care including: early ultrasounds to monitor fetal growth, identifying multiple pregnancies and detecting complications early; effective management of chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure or infections; and where appropriate, treatments for conditions which increase the risk of preterm birth.

While many preterm births occur without known risk factors, there are some steps women can take to reduce risks, including healthy nutrition and maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding to***co and alcohol use, attending all antenatal checks, and seeking immediate medical attention if there are any warning signs of early labour.

Having a preterm birth can be frightening but it can also be the beginning of a journey filled with strength, spirit, and hope. Many premature babies go on to grow and shine ✨

Jasmine & Luke, thank you for trusting us with your pregnancy journey and sharing these gorgeous pics of Darcy & Scarlett who are absolutely thriving 💫

Meet our amazing Endorsed Midwife, Michelle 😍

Michelle has been with us at Belong O&G for almost 7 years - January marks her anniversary with us!

Michelle loves helping our patients to feel welcome and supported, providing relevant education and developing an ongoing relationship as we care for them.

Favourite piece of advice for new parents: It’s hard to pick a favourite piece of advice, but I do really encourage women to see their pregnancy and mothering journey as unique to them. Keeping an open mind and educating themselves along the way to aid understanding and hopefully lessen fear.

Where you’ll find Michelle when she’s not at work: I have to spend a part of each day being active, so always some form of exercise. Quality time with my partner and friends and I absolutely love music, it is always playing wherever I am!

💟

Understanding your menstrual cycle holds many benefits, including the ability to recognise what your body needs both mentally and physically at different times of the month.

Looking at the 4 phases of a typical menstrual cycle, you may be able to tailor your lifestyle accordingly when looking at exercise, diet and rest.

Menstrual phase – days 0-7: oestrogen is at its lowest point, energy levels are low
Follicular phase – days 8-13: a rise in oestrogen means energy levels are increasing
Ovulation phase – days 14-15: oestrogen + testosterone levels peak, resulting in high energy
Luteal phase – days 16-28: you may experience PMS symptoms towards the end of this phase

For example, you may change the intensity of exercise during the ovulation phase, or, be aware of when you need to be kind to yourself and rest during the menstrual phase.

Of course, not every cycle follows a 28-day routine, which is why it is important to know your own body and follow what feels best for you 🫶🏽
