Did you know? Diastasis Recti can affect women long after pregnancy 🤍

Many women expect their body to change during and after pregnancy, but fewer know about Diastasis Recti, a condition where the abdominal muscles separate as the body makes room for a growing baby.

While this separation is common during pregnancy, for some women it can persist long after childbirth and affect everyday life.

Symptoms may include:
✨ A visible “doming” or bulging along the abdomen
✨ A persistent “mum tummy” despite exercise and weight loss
✨ Lower back pain
✨ Poor core strength or instability
✨ Pelvic floor symptoms
✨ Postural changes
✨ Difficulty lifting, exercising or returning to activities

Diastasis Recti is not simply about appearance. The abdominal muscles play an important role in supporting posture, movement, breathing, core function and pelvic stability.

Risk factors can include multiple pregnancies, carrying twins, larger babies, abdominal pressure, genetics and some exercise patterns.

The good news is that support is available. Assessment by women’s health professionals, pelvic health physiotherapists and targeted rehabilitation programmes can often help improve symptoms and function.

Many women live with Diastasis Recti without realising there is a name for what they are experiencing.

Postpartum recovery looks different for everyone and women deserve information, support and understanding throughout that journey 🤍

Did you know that heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in women?

Many people think of heart disease as a men’s health issue, but women are equally affected. The signs can sometimes be different and more subtle.

Symptoms may include:
• Chest discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Pain in the jaw, neck, shoulders or back
• Nausea
• Unusual fatigue
• Dizziness

Looking after your heart doesn’t require dramatic changes. Small lifestyle choices can have a lasting impact:
❤️ Eat a balanced diet.
❤️ Stay physically active.
❤️ Manage stress where possible.
❤️ Get enough sleep.
❤️ Know your blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Your heart works hard for you every day, it’s worth taking care of it.

Urine leakage is common… but it is not something women should simply “put up with”🤍

Many women experience urinary leakage (urinary incontinence) at some point in their lives, yet it remains one of the least talked about women’s health issues.

Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising or lifting is often dismissed as “normal” after pregnancy or with age but it can have a significant impact on confidence, daily activities and quality of life.

Symptoms may include:
✨ Leaking when coughing, sneezing or exercising
✨ A sudden urgent need to pass urine
✨ Frequent trips to the bathroom
✨ Leakage after childbirth
✨ Night-time urination
✨ Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
✨ Avoiding exercise or social situations due to symptoms

Urinary leakage can occur for many reasons, including:
• Pregnancy and childbirth
• Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction
• Menopause and hormonal changes
• Chronic coughing or constipation
• High-impact exercise
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Certain medical conditions

The important message is this: urine leakage is common, but it should not be ignored or accepted as inevitable.

Assessment and support can make a huge difference. Pelvic floor rehabilitation, women’s health physiotherapy, lifestyle changes and medical treatments may all play a role depending on the cause.

Too many women suffer in silence because they feel embarrassed to talk about it.

You are not alone, and support is available 🤍

AMH levels are often mentioned in fertility conversations, but many women are not actually told what they mean 🌸

Anti-Müllerian Hormone Test measures the level of Anti-Müllerian Hormone in your blood. This hormone is produced by small follicles in the ovaries and is used as an indicator of ovarian reserve, which refers to the number of eggs remaining in the ovaries.

It’s important to understand that AMH is about quantity, not quality. It does not measure the health of the eggs or your ability to conceive naturally.

Higher AMH levels can suggest a higher number of follicles, while lower levels can suggest a reduced ovarian reserve. However, there is a wide natural variation between women, and levels can differ depending on age, genetics, and certain conditions such as PCOS.

What AMH does not tell you is equally important. It cannot predict when or if you will conceive, it does not determine the exact timing of menopause, and it does not give a full picture of your overall fertility.

Some women with lower AMH still conceive naturally, while others with higher AMH may require support. This is why AMH should never be used in isolation.

AMH testing is most commonly used in fertility investigations, IVF planning, or as part of a broader assessment when there are concerns about ovarian function.

The most important thing to remember is that AMH is only one marker. It should always be interpreted alongside your age, cycle pattern, ultrasound findings, and overall health.

A single number does not define your fertility or your future 🤍

Some menstrual changes in younger women are not just “normal irregularity”, they can sometimes point to an underlying hormonal condition 🌸

Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI) occurs when the ovaries stop working properly before the age of 40. This leads to reduced oestrogen production and changes in ovulation and the menstrual cycle.

Unlike natural menopause, POI can be variable. Ovarian function may fluctuate, meaning symptoms and periods can sometimes come and go.

What is happening in the body?

The ovaries are not regularly releasing eggs or producing typical levels of hormones such as oestrogen. This hormonal change can affect not only fertility, but also many other systems in the body.

Oestrogen plays a role in:
• Menstrual cycle regulation
• Bone strength
• Heart health
• Brain function and mood
• Vaginal and urinary health

Common symptoms of POI can include:
• Irregular, infrequent, or absent periods
• Difficulty conceiving
• Hot flushes or night sweats
• Vaginal dryness or discomfort
• Low mood, anxiety, or irritability
• Reduced libido
• Fatigue or reduced energy

Some women may notice symptoms gradually, while others experience more sudden changes.

Possible causes
In many cases, the exact cause is not identified. However, POI can sometimes be linked to:
• Genetic factors
• Autoimmune conditions
• Medical treatments such as chemotherapy or pelvic surgery
• Viral infections (less commonly)
• No identifiable cause (idiopathic POI)

Why diagnosis matters

Early recognition is important because reduced oestrogen over time can affect:
• Bone density (risk of osteoporosis)
• Cardiovascular health
• Emotional wellbeing
• Long-term hormonal balance

Diagnosis allows access to appropriate medical support, including hormone replacement therapy and fertility counselling where relevant.

Why has PCOS changed to PMOS? 🤍

A major change has recently taken place in women’s health, with PCOS (Polycystic O***y Syndrome) now being renamed PMOS (Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome).

This change is about more than a new name. It reflects a growing understanding that this condition affects far more than the ovaries and that the previous term did not fully represent the experience of many women living with it.

The name “Polycystic O***y Syndrome” has often been misunderstood for years. Despite the name, many women diagnosed with PCOS do not actually have ovarian cysts, while some women with polycystic ovaries may not have the condition at all. The focus on “ovaries” also meant that many of the wider symptoms and health impacts were overlooked.

PMOS better reflects what clinicians and patients have long recognised, that this is a complex hormonal and metabolic condition involving multiple systems throughout the body.

PMOS can affect:
✨ Menstrual cycles and ovulation
✨ Fertility and reproductive health
✨ Hormone regulation
✨ Insulin resistance and metabolic function
✨ Weight management
✨ Skin changes including acne
✨ Excess facial or body hair growth
✨ Hair thinning or hair loss
✨ Energy levels and fatigue
✨ Mental and emotional wellbeing

The new term highlights the endocrine (hormonal) and metabolic aspects of the condition, helping to move the conversation beyond the outdated belief that it is simply an ovarian issue.

For many women, this change is important because it validates symptoms that may have previously felt dismissed or disconnected. It also supports a more holistic approach to care, focusing not only on fertility and menstrual symptoms, but also on long-term health, lifestyle, metabolic wellbeing and personalised treatment.

This is more than a name change,it represents progress in how women’s health is understood, discussed and treated. 🤍

May is Mental Health Awareness Month 🧠🌿

And it’s a reminder that mental wellbeing isn’t just about “coping” it’s about recognising everything that can quietly affect how you feel day to day.

For many women, mental load is a big part of this.

Carrying the responsibility of work, home life, relationships, planning, remembering, organising and often holding it all together for everyone else, can become overwhelming over time.

💡 And alongside that, your body is also playing a role:
• Hormonal changes across the menstrual cycle
• Sleep disruption and fatigue
• Stress and burnout building up over time

It’s no surprise that at times, things can feel heavy.

🌿 If you take one thing from this post:
It’s okay not to be okay.

You don’t always have to be the one who holds everything together.

💛 Small reminders that matter:
• Rest is productive too
• You’re allowed to ask for help
• You don’t have to earn a break
• Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re failing

✨ Mental health isn’t about being fine all the time, it’s about having space to not be fine, and still be supported.

You matter just as much as everything you’re holding 🤍
