💛 To every mom who struggled silently after birth…

Postpartum isn’t always soft and glowing — for many women, it’s a season filled with overwhelm, self-doubt, anxiety, and emotions they never expected.
If you could go back and hug that version of yourself, you would… because she was doing her absolute best while fighting battles no one else could see.

Postpartum mental health matters.
Your feelings are valid.
You are not alone.
And you never deserved to carry that weight by yourself.

Here’s your reminder:
You are strong.
You are enough.
And support is always available. 💛

The Use of Mesh in Prolapse Surgery

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and tissues weaken, allowing the bladder, uterus, or re**um to descend into the va**nal canal.

Mesh can be used surgically to support these organs and restore anatomy — but its use has become one of the most debated topics in gynaecology.

While modern, regulated meshes like DynaMesh® are designed for improved safety and biocompatibility, past misuse and inadequate patient selection led to complications and controversy.

Today, we emphasise:
🔹 Careful patient selection
🔹 Use of specialised, trained surgeons
🔹 Thorough discussion of risks and alternatives
🔹 Prioritising informed consent and patient autonomy

The goal is always the same — to improve quality of life, safely and ethically.

No matter how many births we witness, this moment never loses its magic.
The strength of a mother, the teamwork in the theatre, and the miracle of new life coming into the world — it’s awe-inspiring every single time. 💗

Every birth tells its own story — unique, raw, and beautiful in its own way.

So much happens in these few seconds: relief, emotion, gratitude, and love — all wrapped into one unforgettable moment.

This is what a postmenopausal o***y and fallopian tube look like.

After menopause, the ovaries become smaller and their function changes — they no longer release eggs or produce significant amounts of estrogen and progesterone. The fallopian tubes, which once carried eggs from the o***y to the uterus, also undergo changes and often become thinner and less active.

Understanding these anatomical changes helps guide decisions in women’s health — from managing postmenopausal symptoms to assessing risks for ovarian and fallopian tube pathology. 💛

✨ The Miracle (and Mechanics) of Birth ✨

This illustration captures one of the most incredible moments in medicine — the baby’s head descending through the birth canal during labour.

Childbirth is a powerful combination of strength, anatomy, and instinct. The muscles, ligaments, and bones of the pelvis work together to guide new life into the world — a process both precise and awe-inspiring.

Every birth looks different, but each one reflects courage, resilience, and the extraordinary design of the human body. 💗

This is what a cervix looks like.

It’s small, but incredibly important. The cervix is the lower part of the uterus that connects to the va**na — and it’s where we take a Pap smear (or cervical screening test).

This simple test can detect early changes in cervical cells before they become cancerous — helping to prevent cervical cancer entirely. 💗

A few minutes could save your life. If you’re due for your screening, don’t delay — book your appointment today.

🌸 Birth as it should be — personal, calm, supported. 🌸

This birth space tells a story of teamwork and trust. A doula, midwife, dad, and myself — all working together to support one mom’s vision for her birth.

Personal touches like photos on the wall, a yoga ball, diffusers, and warm water created an environment that felt safe, grounded, and deeply personal.

Every woman deserves to feel seen and supported during labour — surrounded by a team that honours her choices and keeps her at the centre of every decision. 💗

💗 To the moms figuring it out as they go 💗

Your firstborn will always hold a special place — they loved you before you knew how to be a mom, believed in you before you believed in yourself, and grew up alongside the version of you still learning.

Motherhood doesn’t come with a manual — just moments, growth, grace, and love that keeps showing up, even on the hard days. 🌸

You were always enough in their eyes.

🌸 History is Herstory too 🌸

My earliest exposure to natural birthing was through the incredible midwives I’ve had the privilege of working alongside. They taught me that birth is not only a medical event but a deeply human experience — one where support, respect, and empowerment matter as much as safety.

So many of the global conversations in obstetrics right now are focused on reducing unnecessary interventions and de-medicalising birth where it’s safe to do so. This means listening more, honouring women’s choices, and protecting the natural process whenever possible.

Midwives are an integral part of this journey — their calm presence, deep skill, and advocacy for women help create birth spaces where mothers feel seen, safe, and supported. Our teamwork is not new; it’s a natural collaboration that has always belonged to birth.

Here’s to continuing to learn, grow, and keep birth centred on women — their bodies, their choices, their stories. 💗

🌎✨ Continuing to Learn, Advocate & Evolve ✨🌎

This week I had the privilege of attending the International Federation of Gyanecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) session on Enhancing the Best Practices of Labour and Reducing Unnecessary Caesarean Sections.

It’s inspiring to be part of a global conversation focused on returning birth to its roots — supporting women’s autonomy, reducing the over-medicalisation of labour, and ensuring caesarean sections are used only when truly needed.

One of my greatest influences has been learning from midwives and seeing how deeply their approach protects the natural process of birth while keeping safety and compassion at the centre. These sessions reaffirm the importance of collaboration — obstetricians and midwives working hand-in-hand to create safe, empowering birth experiences.

The heart of it all? Every birth is unique. The goal is not “normal birth” but safe birth — safe for mother, safe for baby, and respectful of each family’s journey. 💗
