This is the iron care advice I find myself repeating most.

Why? Because too many mums fall through the cracks of not having their iron checked properly, and frequently. Resulting in too much iron, too late!

Why does it matter? Because waiting until anaemia develops means higher doses, more side effects, and less time to course-correct before birth.

If your last iron test was at booking and you’re now well into the second or third trimester, please ask. You’re entitled to that conversation 💛

You’re not making it up.
You’re not being dramatic.
You’re not ‘just’ tired.

If something inside you is saying this level of exhaustion isn’t normal, please trust that.

Low iron in pregnancy is incredibly common in Australia, and incredibly underdiagnosed. The fix is often simple. The cost of missing it is not.

Ask for a ferritin test. Walk into that appointment knowing what to ask. And know we’re here if you’d like more support 💛

Sending this to the version of me at 6 weeks postpartum, and to every mum who’s quietly wondering if she’s allowed to need more.

If you noticed I went quiet — you weren’t imagining it.
I went deep into a midwifery placement, and for a few weeks, my capacity was full. So I let socials go.
But here’s what I want you to know: postpartum depletion is something I know intimately — both as a clinician, and as a mum of three who’s lived it. I still have episodes of burnout. The difference is I now know how to actually pull myself out.
Comment ‘IM BACK’ and I’ll send you my quick, actionable postpartum depletion guide.
Welcome back. I’m glad you’re here.

Still feeling exhausted, even after being told “everything looks normal”? 🫠

You’re not alone — and no, it’s not just in your head.

We speak to so many mums who are running on empty postpartum. They’ve done “all the right things,” had bloods done, but still don’t feel like themselves.

Here’s the missing piece 👉 Most standard blood tests are only looking for disease, not imbalance.
⚡️ That means things like:
– Low-but-not-flagged iron
– B12 deficiencies
– Suboptimal thyroid function
– Hidden inflammation..are often missed completely.

But you don’t have to settle for vague answers and blanket advice.
Tammy, our Clinical Nutritionist, offers functional postpartum blood testing and consults to get to the real reason why you feel so flat.

✨ In just one session, you’ll get:
✔ A deep-dive health & symptom review
✔ A functional analysis of your bloods
✔ A clear, step-by-step plan tailored to your body
✔ Advice that meets you where you are in motherhood

Hope these tips help you on your postpartum journey👇

💬 But first, comment POSTPARTUM for a copy of our free Postpartum Blood Testing Guide 🩸

Here’s what you SHOULD expect at your 6 week postpartum check-up. And a reminder that you can ask for them if they’re not offered!:

• Check stitches or wounds (c-section/perineal tear)
• Mental health check-in (including screening for postnatal depression/anxiety)
• Physical check: breasts (to check for blocked ducts) + reproductive organs
• Discuss contraception options (the key word here is options, and it’s not just the contraceptive pill)
• General advice for returning to exercise
• Breastfeeding discussion and referral for support to a Lactation Consultant (if needed)
• Referral for thorough blood testing to check nutritional status and thyroid function

This should be the BARE minimum.

We also recommend you also consider:
• Seeing a women’s health physio to check pelvic floor function and recovery.
• Support from a nutritionist or naturopath for a much deeper dive into your nutritional status, and preventative strategies for postpartum depletion 👑
• Psychology sessions for mental health support through this time of immense change (even if you feel you are coping well).

We’ve created a FREE Postpartum Blood Testing Guide to support you on your journey. If you’d like a copy comment POSTPARTUM and we’ll send you over the link to access.
