Before you take a pregnancy test, pause and take a breath with yourself. ❤️

These questions aren’t meant to pressure you, they’re gentle invitations to understand where you are and what you may need. Nutrition, movement, health conditions, supplements, and check-ups all help create the first home your baby will know.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about preparation. And the small, steady choices you make today can support a healthier, more confident pregnancy journey tomorrow.

Did you know your va**nal health can be influenced by your partner’s microbiome and semen?

BV and pH imbalances aren’t just about hygiene, they’re affected by sexual activity too. Paying attention to symptoms, practicing safe habits, and understanding your body are key.

For personalized guidance and strategies to keep your va**nal health in balance, book a consultation with Dr Payal today. 💙

Let’s clear something up: BV isn’t a reflection of hygiene, cleanliness, or anything you ‘did wrong.’

Your va**na is an ecosystem, and like any ecosystem, balance matters. When protective Lactobacillus drops and pH rises, other bacteria step in and take over: that’s BV, and it’s your body’s way of asking for attention, not blame.

If you’re dealing with recurrent BV, unusual discharge, or persistent odor, you’re not alone and you’re not at fault. A proper assessment can help restore balance and keep symptoms from returning.

For personalised guidance and treatment options, book a consultation with our OBGYN today.🩺

Fertility isn’t just about the moment you try, it’s about the months leading up to it. The choices you make today around nutrition, movement, and stress can shape egg and s***m quality, giving your future baby the healthiest possible start.

For personalized guidance on preparing your body for conception, you can book a consultation with Dr Bodasingh and take the first step toward a confident, healthy journey to parenthood.🤰

If you have a cervix, this is your reminder: your sexual health matters, and it’s yours to own.

→ Know your status: Regular HIV testing empowers you to make informed decisions.
→ Routine screenings matter: STI checks, Pap smears, and other sexual health tests are non-negotiable.
→ Consent is key: Clear, enthusiastic consent is essential in every sexual encounter.
→ Understand your body: Knowing yourself means enjoying intimacy responsibly and confidently.

Want to feel confident and in control of your sexual health? Book a consultation with Dr Payal and get the guidance you deserve.🌸

Your health is worth the questions. Don’t settle for being brushed off:

1️⃣ Question dismissive advice: Don’t accept vague or offhand answers - your health deserves clarity.
2️⃣ Demand second opinions: A fresh perspective can make all the difference.
3️⃣ Track your health: Keep a journal of symptoms, cycles, medications, and test results.
4️⃣ Ask specific questions: Request explanations in plain language so you truly understand your care.

Sometimes, it’s not just a 'bad' period.

Endometriosis happens when tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. It still reacts to your hormones each month - but because it has nowhere to go, it can cause pain, inflammation, and scarring over time.

For many women, getting a diagnosis takes years. If you’ve been living with severe cramps, pelvic pain, or discomfort during your period or bowel movements, please don’t ignore it.

Bring this diagram to your next appointment, and we'll try to find the answers you deserve 💙

As OBGYNs, we don’t just provide medical care - we walk alongside families through some of life’s most meaningful moments. 💙

Those early morning check-ups and late-night deliveries are so worth it when it means supporting the health of moms and babies.

Don’t forget to prioritise your regular check-ups this year. They’re an important part of keeping you and your little one safe, healthy, and thriving.
