Today is Women’s Health Day:

And this morning, before work, I’m doing what I encourage my patients to do: making time for a preventive check-up.

As women, we are often experts at caring for everyone else — but our own health deserves the same attention, consistency, and respect. Preventive care is not “extra.” It is essential.

A gynecological check-up is not just about problems. It’s about prevention, reassurance, early detection, and staying connected to your body.

So today, I’m celebrating women by doing one simple thing: showing up for my own health.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms doing their best every single day. 🌷

Motherhood isn’t easy — it’s exhausting, emotional, and often overwhelming. We all have those moments that test every ounce of our strength.

Yet, we rise each day, pouring love and resilience into our little ones without giving up.

Today, we celebrate every mother because they are doing something extraordinary every day! 💛

As an addition to my previous post, here is the story about my first birth and post partum experience :

My first birth was four and a half years before my second, and on paper, everything seemed easy. I had an uncomplicated pregnancy, and I thought I had it all figured out. When my baby was estimated to be big, everyone kept telling me to go straight for a C-section. But I wanted to give birth naturally, so I chose my obstetric team wisely, feeling all prepared. It wasn’t an easy birth, but with patience and support, I finally gave birth vaginally to a healthy baby girl. I thought the hard part was over. I was wrong.

Postpartum was much harder than I ever expected. My baby was constantly throwing up after feeds, and when I asked for help in the hospital, I was dismissed. Later, with baby number two, I learned from the wonderful that I have milk oversupply, which can cause issues with swallowing — and I finally got the help that I needed. I only wish I’d had that earlier!

My baby cried a lot, and when I asked the pediatrician for help again, I was told she just needed less feeds and more structure. That didn’t help at all and just caused more stress for everyone.

Looking back, I know I also went through postpartum depression, even though no one recognized it then. I found my way out eventually, but mostly on my own, and my relationship with my daughter was shadowed by our struggles for a long time.

That experience changed me forever. It showed me how important postpartum care really is, and why support after birth matters so much.
It’s also why, at Lakeside Women’s Health Center, we believe in offering a true network of care - so women can get the support they need under the same roof.

This is also why I’m so grateful to be part of the upcoming Beyond Birth Summit May 4–7. So that women can prepare for what is to come after
birth.

Six years ago, during the height of the pandemic lockdown, I gave birth to my second daughter at home—and in a strange and beautiful way, the world felt like it was holding its breath for us.

After being with my patients in the hospital until recently, and after a long first birth with my first daughter, I was hesitant to go in too early. The atmosphere wasn’t welcoming at that time, and I wanted a gentler start. However, when labor picked up, I suddenly realized I was too far along to drive to the hospital. Home birth was not planned, yet it happened anyway, with the steady presence of a befriended and experienced midwife from by my side.
Giving birth in the quiet of our own space ended up being one of the most intimate and grounding experiences of my life.

Also, postpartum looked nothing like my first time. Instead of people rushing off to work and events, everyone was home. Neighbors and friends brought over homemade meals, knocked on the door with a pot of soup or a loaf of bread, and stayed for a chat because there was nowhere else to be. In a moment when the world felt heavy, kindness felt closer.

After struggling with postpartum depression following my first birth—when life buzzed around me and I felt both invisible and overwhelmed—this time felt different. The lockdown, as hard as it was, created a temporary pause that somehow softened edges. People had more time, more empathy, more presence. And in that unexpected stillness, I found a kind of healing I didn’t know every new mom needs.

In the upcoming Blooming Beyond Birth Summit happening May 4–7, much is about caring and healing.
It’s a great opportunity to prepare for postpartum and early motherhood.
The summit includes 20+ expert presentations covering topics like:

✔️ postpartum recovery
✔️ emotional wellbeing
✔️ motherhood identity shifts
✔️ building support systems
✔️ realistic self-care after birth

And it’s completely free to attend!

One of the biggest myths about motherhood is that you should just “figure it out” after the baby arrives.

But the truth is — postpartum is a huge life transition, and support makes all the difference.

That’s why I’m excited about the Blooming Beyond Birth Summit, a free online event happening May 4–7 for first-time moms-to-be.

During the summit, 20+ experts will share practical tools to help you:

✔️ prepare for postpartum recovery
✔️ navigate the emotional changes of new motherhood
✔️ build supportive routines and boundaries
✔️ care for yourself while caring for your baby

I’ll also be sharing a session on YOUR BODY AFTER BIRTH - HORMONES AND HEALING.

If you want to approach postpartum feeling more prepared, supported, and confident, this event is for you.

Today was one of those births that reminded me why especially in obstetrics, teamwork, skills and trust are everything.

My patient came in the day before, hoping for a vaginal birth, and I promised to support that, even when the road became long and exhausting.
We all worked together as a team, interdisciplinary, through hours of labor, fine‑tuning her epidural, adjusting contractions between “too little” and “too many,” and holding space for her courage and fatigue.
At the end, we faced a difficult decision: try a ventouse delivery or move to a cesarean.
With her safety and her wishes at the center, we took every precaution, anticipated risks of fetal distress, of shoulder dystocia, of hemorrhage, and had man power and medications ready in advance, manoeuvres in our head. Everything unfolded with careful, coordinated care—and we welcomed a healthy big baby boy of almost 4 kg into the world.

Today I needed every bit of my training, every instinct, and the incredible support of my team. I’m so grateful for the trust my patient placed in us, and so relieved that in the end, both she and her baby are doing well.

If you’ve ever had a long, difficult, or emotionally intense birth—on either side of the bed—this is for you.

In many hospitals, the postpartum unit is where the youngest, least experienced doctors are sent to “learn” – while the women recovering there are among the most vulnerable: sore, bleeding, hormonally crashing, and completely exhausted.
In many of the hospitals I worked at, the daily check‑up round was nicknamed “Tüttelvisite” – a term that framed it as a superfluous, unnecessary task, more about ticking boxes than giving real care. It felt like a “round for show”, pretending to check on women who were actually going through a medically and emotionally intense phase.

Why is that wrong?
Postpartum is a high‑risk window for physical complications, mental‑health crises, and birth trauma. That deserves skilled, attentive supervision – not the least experienced staff rushing through a round treated as a joke.

Women after birth deserve experienced and honest care!

Endometriose ist noch immer viel zu lange „nur ein Frauenproblem“, das im Hintergrund bleibt. Genau deshalb war es mir wichtig, im Nau.ch‑Artikel „Hilft das den Frauen? Jetzt haben auch Männer Endometriose" deutlich zu machen: Sobald ein Thema sichtbar wird, steigt auch das öffentliche Interesse – und der Druck, ernsthafte Antworten zu liefern.

Ich habe gesagt, dass es vor allem darum geht, Frauengesundheit endlich ernst zu nehmen. Die wenigen Fälle bei Männern sind nicht dieselbe Krankheit wie bei uns Frauen – aber sie zeigen, wie dringend wir mehr Forschung, bessere Versorgung und mehr Empathie brauchen.

Endometriose ist kein Randthema.
Es ist Alltag, Schmerz, Kampf – und genau deshalb müssen wir weiter darüber sprechen.

Easter eggs are cute, but ovulation is the real egg hunt. 🥚👀

The chances of getting pregnant around ovulation are real, but usually a bit lower than most people expect—roughly 20‑30% per cycle in a healthy, fertile person trying regularly: One golden egg, a tiny window, and suddenly timing is everything.
Well, they’re still way higher than the chances of actually seeing the Easter Bunny, even with perfect timing...

Happy Easter! 🐣✨
