Pregnancy screening tests are offered during pregnancy to help check the health of you and your baby 💙👶

These tests can help identify the chance of certain conditions early on, allowing you to access the right care, support and information throughout your pregnancy 👍

Screening tests offered during pregnancy may include checks for:
• Down’s syndrome, Edwards’ syndrome and Patau’s syndrome
• sickle cell disease and thalassaemia
• infectious diseases such as HIV, hepatitis B and syphilis
• physical conditions identified during ultrasound scans 🩺

You’ll also be offered ultrasound scans during pregnancy, including the dating scan and the 20-week screening scan 👶

It’s important to remember that screening tests are your choice. Your midwife or healthcare team will explain each test, what it looks for and what the results may mean so you can decide what feels right for you 💫

If you have any questions or concerns, speak to your midwife or maternity team for advice and support 💙

Are you getting enough sleep? 😴💙

Sleep debt builds up when you regularly miss out on the amount of sleep your body needs. Even losing a small amount of sleep over time can affect your mood, concentration, energy levels and overall health ⚠️

Poor sleep can also increase your risk of health problems including stress, anxiety, high blood pressure and weight gain 🛌

The Patient Info Sleep Debt Calculator can help you understand how much sleep you may be missing and encourage healthier sleep habits 👍

Good sleep habits can include:
• keeping a regular sleep routine
• reducing screen time before bed
• avoiding caffeine late in the day
• creating a calm sleep environment 🌙

Measuring your waist can help you understand more about your health 💙

This video explains how to measure your waist so you can calculate your waist-to-height ratio 📏

Your waist-to-height ratio is another way to check whether you may be carrying too much weight around your tummy, alongside your Body Mass Index (BMI). Carrying excess weight around your middle can increase your risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and heart disease ⚠️

It only takes a few minutes to check and can help you make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing 👍

Dehydration can happen more easily during hot weather and it can affect anyone, but babies, young children and older adults are especially at risk ☀️💧

Common symptoms of dehydration can include:
• feeling thirsty
• dark yellow, strong-smelling urine
• dizziness or lightheadedness
• tiredness
• a dry mouth, lips or tongue
• peeing less often than usual ⚠️

Dehydration can happen if you have been in the sun too long, have a high temperature, have been sick, exercised heavily or are not drinking enough fluids 💦

The best way to prevent dehydration is to drink fluids regularly, especially during warm weather or when exercising 👍

If you start to feel unwell, try taking small sips of water regularly. A pharmacist can also offer advice and support 💙
