If you live in England, please know about these two important rules. 🇬🇧

🏥 Martha’s Rule: If you or your loved one is admitted to hospital and their condition is getting worse, but you feel your concerns are not being heard, you can ask how to request a rapid review under Martha’s Rule.

🩺 Jess’s Rule: If you have visited your GP three times with the same unresolved symptoms or concerns, particularly if they are persisting or worsening, it should prompt a rethink and review of what might be going on.

This does not automatically mean a scan, test or referral, but it encourages clinicians to pause, review and reconsider the diagnosis and next steps.

Please advocate for yourself and your loved ones. ❤️

Save this. Share it. Someone may need to know about it.

“Don’t worry, you’ll get pregnant when you’re ready” and “come back when you want a baby” may sound reassuring, but they can leave someone’s real concerns unheard.

PMOS, previously known as PCOS, affects people differently. You deserve support for irregular periods, metabolic health and fertility concerns, whether or not you’re planning a family.

Let’s replace assumptions with compassionate, individualised care. 💛

Ladies, needing l**e does NOT mean you’re not attracted to your partner 👀

Can we please end the stigma around women using lubricant during s*x?

You can be completely turned on and still not produce enough natural lubrication.

Vaginal dryness can happen at different ages and for different reasons, including hormonal changes, breastfeeding, certain medications and other factors.

Lubricant can reduce friction and make s*x more comfortable and pleasurable. There is absolutely no shame in reaching for it. ❤️

And remember, not all lubricants are the same. If you’re using latex condoms, avoid oil based lubricants because they can weaken the latex and increase the risk of breakage.

So ladies, normalise the l**e! 😂🙌🏾

Did you know that being aroused doesn’t always mean being naturally lubricated? 👀

Save this and share it with another woman who needs to hear it. ❤️

Have you had the puberty talk with your boy yet? ❤️

Puberty can feel awkward to talk about, but our boys deserve to understand what is happening to their bodies before those changes begin.

From growth spurts, acne and body hair to erections, wet dreams, body odour, crushes and consent, there is so much for them to learn.

The goal isn’t to overwhelm them with information. It is to create a safe space where they know they can come back to you with questions without feeling embarrassed, ashamed or afraid of getting into trouble.

And remember, it doesn’t have to be one big conversation. You can have these conversations gradually as they grow. ❤️

Have you started having puberty conversations with your child yet?

Some people enjoy being choked during s*x, but pressure on the neck can cause serious injury. It can affect blood flow or breathing, damage blood vessels or the voice box, and lead to brain injury, stroke or even death. Serious harm can happen without obvious marks.

You’re allowed to set a clear boundary: “I’m not comfortable with choking, and I don’t want it to be part of our s*x life.” Consent includes being able to say no

Did you know you can consciously engage your pelvic floor muscles during s*x? 👀

Gently contracting and then fully relaxing your pelvic floor muscles may change the sensation for you and your partner.

But remember, you don’t have to squeeze with every movement, and s*x doesn’t need to become your pelvic floor workout 😂

If your goal is to strengthen your pelvic floor, structured pelvic floor exercises are more appropriate, and relaxation is just as important as contraction.

And if you experience pain during s*x or have a tight or overactive pelvic floor, repeatedly squeezing may not be right for you.

Now tell me 👀 Did you know about this before?
