Congratulations to Airliah Williams on receiving the Runner's Up spot in the inaugural Casey-Cardinia Women's Health Prize in the art stream.
Airliah created a digital art piece that represents endometriosis and pelvic pain.
Airliah wants to support young people who are going through the process of learning about pelvic health and endometriosis. Through her art, Airliah hopes that young people will talk more about endometriosis and bring it into the spotlight. She hopes that there can be more time and research invested into understanding endometriosis. She joked, 'Did you know that there is more research on male baldness than endometriosis?'
Well done Airliah on a powerful piece of art that you have created to raise awareness of an important condition.

🤰 Side sleeping in pregnancy is recommended to help improve blood flow through the placenta and avoid potentially serious complications.
🕔 Practice early in pregnancy so you can get used to it for the third trimester when it matters the most.
😌 Remember, don't panic if you wake up on your back. You can't control what happens in your sleep. Just gently roll to the side again.
🛌 A simple pillow between the knees and behind the back on one side can help. Various specialised pregnancy pillows can also help keep you tilted to the side. These can be helpful for some. Chat to your pregnancy care provider to ask about these.

🟡 Antenatal expressing is where a pregnant mother gently massages the breast and nipples during the pregnancy (after 37 weeks) to help stimulate the breast to produce colostrum. Colostrum is thicker and more yellow in colour than breast milk. It is high in protein.
👶🏽 Colostrum can be collected in tubes and stored in a freezer. It can be useful for the baby after birth in case it has low sugars (e.g. seen in women with gestational diabetes), or if there may be breastfeeding challenges. Colostrum may be handy to have available to feed to your baby after birth if your baby is unable to breastfeed.
🔺️ Antenatal expressing is not necessary nor appropriate for all mothers. It's very important for you to check with your maternity care provider to assess suitability. There are strict precautions to be followed, such as stopping if you experience contractions, bleeding or have reduced baby movements.
🤰At our clinic, all pregnant women are assessed for suitability for antenatal expressing. Kits are provided at 37 weeks gestation together with hands-on education around expressing technique, precautions and storage.
