✨ Baby brain is real — even when you’re a pharmacist and a mum! ✨

Postpartum, I couldn’t even remember my vitamins. 😅 Between sleepless nights, feeding on demand and carrying the mental load of a tiny human, my own health became an afterthought.

We talk about baby milestones, but who checks in on mum’s mental load, mood and recovery? 💛

You’re not failing. You’re overwhelmed, exhausted, and doing your very best. And that counts.

👉 If you’re juggling a thousand tabs in your brain every day and still forgetting about yourself, this story is for you.

You matter too. 💛 Read on for real talk from someone who’s been there.

💛 Parenting is full of love… and challenges.

Feeling anxious, exhausted, or “not quite yourself” during pregnancy or early parenthood? You are not alone. 1 in 5 mums and 1 in 10 dads experience perinatal mental health struggles.

This Perinatal Mental Health Week (23–29 Nov), let’s break the silence. Reaching out isn’t weakness—it’s courage. Talk to a friend, your GP, or connect with Gidget Foundation Australia for free, specialist support. 💛✨
