DID YOU KNOW? Rewiring our brains to think positively has real physical benefitsโ€”but it requires energy our bodies can only provide when properly nourished.

New NICE draft guidance expands TXA use in surgery - a significant step forward for patient blood management. Less blood loss = better outcomes, especially for anemia patients. Public consultation open until Dec 1st.

Women make most family healthcare decisions โ€” and nearly two-thirds of the global health workforce are women.
Too often, the people caring for everyone else overlook their own blood health.
Letโ€™s change that.
Ask: Howโ€™s your blood health?

Before surgery, your blood health matters. ๐Ÿฉธ
PBM means planning ahead with your doctor โ€” addressing anaemia, iron, and recovery before the operation.
Protect it. Optimise it. Manage it.

Iron deficiency affects TWO BILLION people in the world but because theyโ€™re mostly women and children, almost nobody cares.

Had a great time getting on my usual soapbox at a fantastic #SABM25 meeting.

And if you donโ€™t know about patient blood management, itโ€™s very cool so check it out.

Exhaustion after birth isnโ€™t always โ€œjust being a new mom.โ€ It can be anemia, sometimes mistaken for postpartum depression.

๐Ÿฉธ Moms โ€” ask for a blood test if fatigue feels unusual
๐Ÿ’ฌ Partners & family โ€” remember to ask, โ€œHow are you doing?โ€

Is It Postpartum Depressionโ€ฆ or Iron Deficiency?
YouTube video by World Anemia Awareness Is It Postpartum Depressionโ€ฆ or Iron Deficiency?

All eyes on the baby. But moms matter too. ๐Ÿ’™
Postpartum depression and iron deficiency often look alike โ€” exhaustion, brain fog, low mood. Sometimes itโ€™s one, sometimes both.
โœจ The good news: both are real, and both are treatable.

Moms need care too. Exhaustion isnโ€™t always โ€œjust tiredness.โ€ Iron deficiency can mimic postpartum depression.
Asking for help is strength. And for partners, family, and friends, the most powerful question is simple:

Pack a Plan, Not Just a Bag: Why Blood Health Belongs in Every Birth Plan

We pack pajamas, diapers, playlists. ๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿ‘ถ
But birth plans often miss the one thing that saves lives: blood health. ๐Ÿฉธ
Every mom deserves a plan for herself, not just the baby.

Many birth emergencies linked to anemia can be prevented with early care. Ask about anemia checks early, and make blood health part of your plan.
Early action helps mothers thrive, and helps babies start strong.

She was fine. Until she wasnโ€™t.
A routine birth. A healthy mom.
Then a sudden hemorrhage that nearly cost everything.
So many of these crises can be prevented. Blood health must be part of every birth plan.

Plan more. Bleed less.
Postpartum hemorrhage is the leading cause of maternal death worldwide. But many risks can be reduced, by including blood health in your birth plan.

Women who ask questions and plan with their care team have better outcomes.

Day 5 is all about preparation: write your questions down, bring someone for support, and donโ€™t be afraid to speak up.
Your voice is your most powerful tool in protecting your health and your babyโ€™s. #BloodHealth
