The perinatal period is defined as your pregnancy and the first year after your baby is born. It represents a transitional life stage that can be associated with increased vulnerability to experiencing mental health disorder.

Up to one in five expecting or new mothers and one in ten expecting or new fathers will experience perinatal anxiety or depression.

Next week is Perinatal Depression and Anxiety Awareness Week which is all about raising awareness about perinatal anxiety and depression, including signs to look for and where to go to seek support.

YES!
​
The baby blues are a real thing.

Between three and 10 days after giving birth, almost 80 per cent of Australian women
experience a very common reaction known as the ‘baby blues’. This is not a mental illness.

The major symptom of the ‘baby blues’ is feeling particularly emotional and overwhelmed, which is primarily caused by changes to hormone levels throughout the pregnancy and the significant demands of the new role as a mother. The ‘baby blues’ usually disappear after a few days and do not require any specific treatment other than support from family, friends and clinical staff.

If you are having a baby soon, plan ahead and make sure you have a support network, nourishing food and get lots of rest during this time.

Birth trauma can result not only from the childbirth experience itself, but how a mother feels as a result of her experience. Whilst the delivery of a baby is a positive event for many women, it can be a mixed experience or even a negative experience and some women experience physical and/or psychological injuries (trauma) which have lasting negative impacts on their lives.

1 in 3 is a pretty startling statistic. We think there should be more awareness about what birth trauma is and how it affects women so women are better able to connect with the resources available to support them.

The Australasian Birth Trauma Association has some great resources and is a good place to start if you want to learn more about birth trauma or understand if you, or someone you care about, might be suffering from birth trauma. We've linked it in our bio.

You have probably noticed that different injuries can result in different types of scarring. When it comes to treating scars, the type of scar can dictate the treatment options available.

🔥 KELOID SCARS are raised above the skin’s surface and can spread beyond the wounded area. The overgrown scar tissue can get large and puffy, and may affect movement. These types of scars are typically seen at the site of a smallpox vaccination

🔥 CONTRACTURE SCARS often develop after a burn. Contracture scars cause the skin to tighten (contract) and can make it difficult to move, especially when the scarring gets into the muscles and nerves or occurs over a joint.

🔥 ADHESION SCARS are bands of scar tissue that join two surfaces of the body that are usually separate. The formation of scar tissue occurs in response to tissue disturbance caused by surgery, infection, injury (trauma) or radiation.

🔥 HYPERTROPHIC SCARS can be felt when you run your finger over it. These raised scars may get smaller over time, but they never completely flatten out. Unlike keloids, they don’t grow or spread beyond the wounded area.

There are a range of different prescription and non-prescription treatments out there, including ointments, gels, patches and injection. If you're interested to find out what to do about a scar, speak to your GP who can guide you towards the best treatment for your specific scar type.

Most people have had some experience with stretch marks. So what actually IS a stretch mark?

A stretch mark is a type of skin scarring.

When skin expands or shrinks quickly, the connective tissues under the skin can be damaged. Stretch marks often develop during pregnancy, puberty or after gaining or losing a lot of weight. They usually appear on the breasts, stomach, thighs and upper arms.

Not everyone develops these narrow bands on their skin. Fluctuating hormone levels seem to play a role. You may also have a higher risk if people in your family get stretch marks.

Like any scar, stretch marks are permanent, but treatment may make them less noticeable. Treatment can also help alleviate itching which can be caused by stretch marks.

It’s important to understand that no single treatment works for everyone — and many products don’t seem to work at all.

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, check with your doctor before treating stretch marks. Some products contain ingredients, such as retinol, that can harm your baby.

Evidence has shown corticosteroid injections are an effective first-line treatment for keloid and hypertrophic scars.

So how do steroid injections work in the treatment of scars?

Steroids break the bonds between collagen fibers, which reduces the amount of scar tissue beneath the skin.

A series of corticosteroid injections may be required to effectively reduce the size and appearance of hypertrophic or keloid scar.

If you have a young snorer or restless little sleeper at home, you might be missing some tell-tale signs that your child has an issue with their adenoids.

What are adenoids?

Adenoids are lymph nodes located in the throat behind the nose. Infected adenoids can cause other health problems, including middle ear infections, sinusitis and difficulty with breathing, especially at night.

Around the age of 3, your child's adenoids will enlarge and swell, and then start to shrink around 7. Average size, believe it or not, is about as big as a broad bean, but they can swell to the size of a ping-pong ball!

Some kids simply just have larger adenoids than others, and it may not cause them any issues.

For others, adenoids can be prone to recurrent infection, which causes blocked noses, mouth breathing, difficulty sleeping, and ear infections.

If you think your child may have enlarged adenoids, its time for a trip to your GP. They will perform a simple assessment and discuss your child's symptoms with you, in order to determine if a visit to the ENT is needed.

So what do you do if your child gets sick, your script runs out or you want to connect with someone to get some coping strategies?

You can do Telehealth with your GP - either a phone call or a video call - whichever you prefer.

Telehealth is well suited to issues that do not require physical examination. If you do need to be physically reviewed your doctor will arrange this for you and your second consult on the same issue will be bulk billed.
