🎀 October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month 🎀
One of the things I love about midwifery is that our relationship with women doesn’t have to end when the baby is born. 💗
For me caring for women means caring for the whole woman — through pregnancy and birth, postpartum, and in the years beyond.
That’s why well-woman care is such an important part of my practice. Taking time for preventive care, knowing your own body, staying current with recommended screenings, and talking through questions or changes you’ve noticed are all part of taking care of yourself.
And as women, we’re often so busy caring for everyone else that our own health gets pushed to the bottom of the list.
So let October be your little reminder:
🎀 Know your body.
🎀 Know your risk.
🎀 Keep up with your recommended screenings.
🎀 Don’t ignore something that doesn’t feel right.
This month, I’m also remembering the women who have been affected by breast cancer — those currently fighting, survivors, those we’ve lost, and the families who have walked alongside them. 💗
Your health matters.
Taking care of you matters.
And yes… you’re worth making the appointment. 🌸
