Trying to conceive? Timing helps, pressure doesn’t.
Your fertile window is the five days before ovulation plus ovulation day. S***m can wait around for a few days; the egg is choosy and short-lived.

Clues to watch: stretchy, “egg-white” cervical mucus; ovulation predictor kits; regular cycle patterns. Aim for relaxed intimacy every two to three days, or the day or two before your usual ovulation.

If you’re pregnant and confused about alcohol, you’re not alone.

Here’s the simple truth; there’s no known safe amount of alcohol in pregnancy, so the safest choice is not to drink.

Alcohol crosses the placenta, and even small amounts can affect a developing baby in ways we can’t predict.

That can feel disappointing or tricky in social situations; it’s okay to say so.

Try alcohol-free options, plan a supportive response for friends, and ask your partner or family to back you up.

If you’ve had alcohol before you knew you were pregnant, don’t panic; speak with our midwife or anyone in the JOGG care team.

Cravings can be strong, and they are common. Hormones, broken sleep, and nausea all play a part.

Start by checking in with hunger and thirst; a small balanced snack can steady energy. Pair carbs with protein or fibre, like toast with cheese, yoghurt with fruit, or crackers with hummus.

Keep safe food handling, avoid high mercury fish and unpasteurised foods.

If heartburn bites, smaller meals and extra fluids can help.

Living with gestational diabetes or allergies? Ask your care team for tailored options.

If your baby is born early, you are not alone.

Premature means before 37 weeks, and it can feel frightening or out of control.

Your baby may need special care in the neonatal unit; this supports breathing, feeding, and warmth while they grow.

You still matter hugely. Skin-to-skin cuddles, expressing milk, and reading or singing help bonding and development.

Ask questions, write things down, and take breaks, you need rest too.

It is okay to feel mixed emotions; support from your care team, family, and peer groups can help.

Watch for your own mood and sleep, and reach out if you are struggling. When you are ready, we can plan follow up and gentle next steps together.

Endometriosis does not always show up as heavy periods or pelvic pain.

One lesser known sign is shoulder tip pain that appears around your period. It can feel sharp when you breathe in, lie down, or move, and may come with chest or neck discomfort.

This can be linked to endometriosis on the diaphragm. If this sounds familiar, you are not imagining it.

Track when it happens, note what helps, and bring your record when you visit us.

Seek urgent care if you have severe chest pain or shortness of breath. Diagnosis can take time; gentle persistence and support can help you feel heard.

Egg freezing may be considered by women who want more time for family planning, or before treatments that could affect fertility.

Age matters because egg number and quality decline over time; younger eggs generally have higher potential, yet freezing does not guarantee a future pregnancy.

A first appointment usually covers medical history, ovarian reserve testing, process steps, and potential risks.

Useful questions include: how many eggs might be expected per cycle for my age, what are the possible side effects, how long can eggs be stored, and what are realistic next steps when using them.

A semen analysis looks at more than a single number. Common measures include volume, s***m concentration, motility, and morphology; some tests also assess vitality or DNA fragmentation.

Results reflect a snapshot in time and can vary with illness, heat, medications, or timing since the last ej*******on.

Before testing, many labs suggest 2 to 7 days of abstinence; follow your lab’s instructions.

One abnormal result does not define fertility; repeat testing and clinical review help clarify next steps.

**ng is not a safe alternative to smoking in .

Most v**es contain ni****ne, which can affect your baby’s developing brain and lungs; vapour also carries other chemicals that are not risk free.

If you v**e or smoke, talk with your care team early; support options can include behavioural strategies, follow-up, and, in some cases, ni****ne replacement after medical review.

If cravings or stress feel overwhelming, ask for help; you are not alone, and a plan that fits your situation makes change more manageable.
