Are you dealing with mastitis or wondering if it might be a blocked duct?

Breast pain, redness, a lump or a firm, tender area can be really uncomfortable and are often signs of mastitis or a blocked duct. You might also notice feeding feels different on the affected side, with less milk flow, and sometimes you can feel unwell with fever, chills, headaches, or flu-like body aches.

These symptoms can escalate quickly, which is why we treat mastitis and blocked ducts as urgent. Getting on top of it early can make a big difference to how you feel and how quickly things settle.

We aim to see you as soon as possible and can usually organise a lactation appointment within 24 hours, so you can get the support and care you need without delay.

Constipation is common, but it can have a bigger impact on your health than you might think. Straining to open your bowels can put extra pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, which may lead to pelvic floor problems over time.

The good news is that there are simple things you can do to help keep your bowels regular. Drinking enough water, eating plenty of fibre, staying active, and going to the toilet when you feel the urge can all help prevent constipation.

Using a small footstool when sitting on the toilet can also make it easier to empty your bowels by putting your body in a more natural position.

Exercising whilst pregnant is not only beneficial for you but also your little one! However, despite the benefits, some exercises require modifications. If you are someone who wasn't regularly active prior pregnancy it is worth getting advice on exercise from your General Practitioner. However, partaking in low-impact exercises such as walking and light resistance training is recommended, especially if you are new to exercise. Is it crucial to avoid exercises with increased risks of falling and overheating. Remember to not hold your breath and not put extended pressure on your abdominal muscles. Ensure you are drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding any exercises that simply don't feel right for you and your body, as you know your body better than anyone else. Aiming for 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise each week is recommended for maximal benefits for your health and your babies.' If you have any further questions regarding exercising when pregnant, feel free to call us at 9431 2530 👶🏻🏋️‍♀️

With the right care, you can reduce strain, improve comfort, and better prepare for birth and the early postpartum period.
