🩺🔍 Worried you could be at risk of type 2 diabetes? A few changes in your family history, lifestyle or symptoms might mean a lot.
Here’s what to keep in mind:

• 👪 Family history matters – If a parent, sibling or relative has diabetes, your own risk goes up.
• 🍔 Lifestyle factors count – Being overweight, inactive or having higher waist size can all raise risk.
• 🚩 Symptoms might be subtle – Increased thirst, tiredness or needing to wee more may be signs.
• 📊 Want to know your risk? Try this tool: https://riskscore.diabetes.org.uk/start
• 📖 More reading on what to expect and why this matters: https://patient.info/diabetes/diabetes-mellitus-leaflet

It doesn’t mean diabetes is inevitable - taking action now could make a real difference. 💪

🥂✨ Not drinking? That’s a valid choice - and one worth celebrating.

is about creating a space where everyone feels comfortable with their own decisions, whether they drink or not.
Some people are cutting back for health, others are taking a break, and some simply don’t enjoy it - and that’s okay 💬🧃

👂 How can we be more supportive?
✔️ Respect someone’s choice without questioning it
✔️ Offer non-alcoholic options
✔️ Keep social events welcoming for everyone

👩🏼‍⚕️Midwife and consultant appointments 👩🏼‍⚕️

Knowing when you are advised to be seen in pregnancy can make a big impact in your care.

❓We have put together a basic information sheet to inform you of the rough appointment timings you might expect as you come through maternity care.

🌸Everyone's maternity care pathway will look slightly different. We want you to feel involved in your care and know what to expect.

🏥You may have additional appointments with the sonographers (for additional scanning), attend additional clinic appointments for birth preferences, see your consultant to discuss medical concerns during pregnancy or be seen for ad hoc concerns via maternity triage.

❤Whatever your journey we care for you - If you think you need more care or are concerned you have missed an appointment we want to know about it.

💬Reach out to the ask a midwife service so we can help you navigate your care pathway.

🌫️ Lung Cancer Awareness Month is here - and this year, we’re shining a light on the connections between lung health, coughs, and family cancer history.

A persistent cough might be dismissed as a cold or heart issue — but sometimes, it’s more than that. If it lingers, gets worse, or you have other symptoms, get it checked.

Key point: family history of cancer doesn’t only mean the same cancer you have. When your doctor asks, they mean any cancer your relatives have had. This information can help assess your risk and guide decisions.

Stay alert to changes, know your family history, and speak up for your lung health 💨
