๐Ÿง ๐Ÿ€World Mental Health Day | 10 October
As women, we often carry so much - our families, careers, relationships, responsibilities and the expectations we place on ourselves.

And somewhere in between taking care of everyone else, we can forget to check in with ourselves๐Ÿ’œ

As an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, I see how closely our physical and emotional wellbeing are connected. From pregnancy and postpartum recovery to hormonal changes, fertility challenges and menopause, different seasons of womanhood can affect us in ways we don't always speak about.

This World Mental Health Day, I want to remind you that being strong doesn't mean you have to carry everything silently.

It's okay to rest, ask for support, set boundaries and acknowledge when things feel overwhelming.

Your mental health is part of your overall health, and it deserves care, compassion and attention.

Today, I'm asking you: when last did you genuinely check in with yourself?

Baby has arrived - but your care does not stop there.

One of the things your medical team watches closely after delivery is bleeding. Postpartum haemorrhage is excessive bleeding after childbirth, and when it happens, recognising it quickly matters.

๐Ÿฉธ We monitor how much you are bleeding.
๐Ÿฉบ We check your pulse, blood pressure and how you are feeling.
๐Ÿคฐ๐Ÿพ We assess how well your uterus is contracting.
โš•๏ธ And if bleeding is heavier than expected, we act quickly.

I donโ€™t share this to make mothers anxious. I share it because women deserve to understand what we are looking for and why.

On World Postpartum Haemorrhage Day, remember: safe motherhood includes the hours after birth too.

As a South African woman, Iโ€™m reminded that we can honour where we come from while continuing to grow, evolve and create our own stories๐Ÿ’œ

And perhaps that is one of the most beautiful things about heritage: we inherit it, we celebrate it, and then we add our own chapter.

As we say goodbye to Heritage Month, tell me: what is one part of your heritage that you hope the next generation will always carry with them? ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆโœจ

Today we celebrate the beautiful diversity that makes South Africa home โ€” our languages, food, music, traditions, families and the stories passed from one generation to the next. ๐Ÿ‡ฟ๐Ÿ‡ฆ

Happy Heritage Day, South Africa!

What is one tradition from your family or culture that you hope will always be passed down?

There are moments when words feel inadequate.

As women, we are grieving. As a country, we should be deeply concerned. And as a doctor whose lifeโ€™s work is caring for women, I cannot remain silent when womenโ€™s lives are being taken.

My heart, prayers and deepest sympathies are with every family mourning a woman they loved. ๐Ÿค

Women deserve safety. Women deserve justice. Women deserve to live.

Women have been taught the rules for years.

Don't walk alone. Don't run alone. Don't go out too late. Watch what you wear. Share your location.

Call when you arrive. Be vigilant. Be careful. But women are already careful.

What we should be asking is why women cannot simply live without constantly calculating the risk of violence.

As a doctor who has dedicated my work to women's health, I cannot speak about the wellbeing of women without also caring deeply about their safety.

My heart is with the women whose lives have been taken, their families, and every woman who is carrying fear because of what is happening in our communities.

Women deserve more than advice on how to survive. They deserve to live safely and freely๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿค

โ€œDr Rockson, is aesthetic gynaecology actually for me?โ€

The answer depends on what you're experiencing and why. Aesthetic gynaecology isn't about telling women that their bodies need to be โ€œfixedโ€. It begins with understanding the concern.

๐Ÿ’œ Things don't feel the same after childbirth.
Changes in the pelvic floor or intimate area may affect comfort, sensation or bladder control.

๐Ÿ’œ Intimacy has become uncomfortable.
Pain or discomfort can have several causes, so understanding why you're experiencing it should always come first.

๐Ÿ’œ You're experiencing vaginal dryness.
Hormonal changes, particularly around perimenopause and menopause, can affect intimate comfort, and different treatment options may be appropriate depending on the cause.

๐Ÿ’œYou simply don't feel like yourself anymore.
Changes to your intimate health can affect your confidence and quality of life โ€” and you should never feel embarrassed about discussing them.

Assessment first. Treatment second. Because the right treatment should be determined by the woman and her individual concern, not by a trend.

This International Gynaecological Awareness Day, let's make intimate health easier to talk about โ€” without embarrassment, judgement or shame.

Baby has arrived, and suddenly everyone is focused on what baby needs. But Mama, your body is recovering too.

So, which supplements should you be taking postpartum?
๐Ÿ’Š Iron may be recommended if you had low iron during pregnancy, anaemia or significant blood loss around delivery.
โ˜€๏ธ Vitamin D requirements vary and may depend on your individual levels, diet and circumstances.
๐Ÿฅ› Calcium and other nutrients remain important, particularly while breastfeeding, but your individual diet and health needs matter.
๐Ÿคฑ๐Ÿพ Your prenatal supplement may sometimes continue postpartum, especially while breastfeeding, but this should be discussed with your healthcare provider.

And remember: more supplements don't automatically mean better recovery. Your postpartum needs should be based on your health, your diet, your pregnancy and your delivery.

If you're unusually tired, dizzy, struggling with recovery or simply unsure what your body needs, speak to your doctor rather than guessing.

Baby's nutrition matters. Yours does too.

Welcome to your new season of motherhood, Mama๐Ÿ’œ

There will be a lot to remember once your bundle of joy arrives - and between the feeds, nappies, sleepless nights and getting to know this little person, you may forget a few things about you. So save this one and come back to it when you need it:

๐Ÿค Your recovery matters too. Your baby needs care, but so do you.
๐ŸŒฟ Give your body time. It has carried and delivered a whole human being. Healing is a process.
๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿพ Your emotions matter. Postpartum isn't only a physical recovery. Pay attention to how you're feeling, too.
โœจ You don't have to โ€œbounce back.โ€ There is no deadline for your body to look or feel a certain way after birth.
๐Ÿฉบ Please keep your postpartum appointment. It's your opportunity to check your recovery and talk about anything from breastfeeding and contraception to your physical and emotional wellbeing.

You may be a new mother, or a mother again; either way, every baby brings a new season. Welcome to yours.

Save this for later or share it with a mama who has just welcomed her little one.
