Can Magnesium Sulphate Protect Babies Born Preterm? Research reveals that magnesium sulphate, when administered to women at risk of preterm birth, can reduce the occurrence of cerebral palsy and the combined outcome of death or cerebral palsy in children up to two years old. This is a significant development in neonatal care, with studies showing that magnesium sulphate may protect brain health for infants born before 34 weeks of pregnancy. Key findings: Magnesium sulphate significantly reduces the risk of cerebral palsy or death in children up to two years of age when given to women likely to deliver preterm. There is limited evidence to suggest any significant impact of magnesium sulphate on outcomes for children at early school age. Research will continue to explore its long-term effects and determine optimal delivery methods for diverse groups.

🌟 The Incredible Bond Between Mother and Baby: How Pregnancy Nurtures Healing 🌟 During pregnancy, the connection between a mother and her baby goes beyond the visible. Did you know that the womb has an extraordinary ability to send stem cells to repair damaged organs in the mother's body? Research has shown that pregnant women can experience organ healing, where the baby's stem cells travel through the placenta to repair damaged tissues such as the heart, liver, and even the brain. This phenomenon highlights the incredible bond and mutual support between mother and child. Understanding these mechanisms not only sheds light on the wonders of pregnancy but also opens doors to new possibilities in regenerative medicine and healthcare.💖👶 #Motherhood #PregnancyJourney #StemCellTherapy #HealthcareInnovations

Ever walked into a room and forgotten why? Or found your keys in the fridge? Welcome to “pregnancy brain”—or as many call it, baby brain! Forgetfulness, brain fog, or feeling scattered—don’t worry, it’s not just you, it’s your brain changing! New research shows that pregnancy rewires the brain, making information flow more smoothly and helping with the transition to motherhood. These changes are linked to bonding with the baby, nesting instincts, and even how a mother’s heart reacts to her infant. 🧠💓 The pregnant body sure is amazing, right? #PregnancyBrain #BabyBrain #MaternalHealth #Motherhood #PregnancyJourney #Parenthood #BrainScience #Najell #SupportForParents #ParentingScience
Pregnancy changes the brain, and new research reveals intriguing clues about how. Some areas shrink, while others appear to show temporarily improved communication, a new study of brain scans found.

🧠 Latest research reveals the dramatic changes in a mother’s brain during pregnancy. MRI scans taken before conception and for two years after birth show widespread brain reorganisation. While some changes are temporary, others last much longer. 📚 This groundbreaking study sheds light on the impact of hormones and could help identify risks for postpartum depression and other conditions. 💬 As one expert said, this is just the beginning of understanding the maternal brain. 🔎 Read more here: tinyurl.com/hw8thwsn #research #perinatalwellbeing #maternalbrain #perinatalsupport

Welcoming a new life into the world is a life-changing experience that comes with its own set of challenges and changes, both physical and emotional. As the journey of pregnancy ends and a new life of motherhood begins, the postpartum check-up is critical. 👶🍼 The postpartum periods is often referred to as the “fourth trimester”, so management should be valued just as highly as the first three trimesters. It is common practice for new mothers to have a 6-week check-up with their GP or gynae, but the importance of a 6-week check-up with a physio is often overlooked. 👩⚕️ The physio postpartum check-up is crucial for ensuring optimal physical recovery, restoring strength and function, and having the appropriate education and support available regarding any postpartum concerns. The physio check-up is almost always significantly longer than the GP check-up, which allows adequate time for thorough assessment and goal setting. 📈✔️ The physio postpartum check-up can occur from 6-weeks postpartum, but we are here to help with any other pains, niggles or concerns before this. 🤕 ☎️ Call to book in with one of our Women's Health Physios check out more on our BLOG "The Postpartum Check-up: A Vital Step in Maternal Care" here https://lnkd.in/gJ8wNBwi

Pregnancy brings a lot of physical changes, from increased blood flow and a faster heart rate to deeper breathing and digestive shifts that can lead to heartburn or nausea. But did you know that these changes are driven by pregnancy hormones like estrogen, progesterone, and hCG? In groundbreaking research from the University of California, Santa Barbara, scientists have discovered that these hormonal shifts also affect the brain! For the first time, they’ve shown how pregnancy hormones can alter the brain’s white and gray matter throughout pregnancy.
