💗 Postpartum Blues: You’re Not Alone

Postpartum blues are common, especially among first-time mothers. Mood swings, anxiety, tearfulness, and sleep difficulties can occur as you adjust to life with a newborn.

With rest, reassurance, and support, symptoms often resolve within 10–14 days. If symptoms persist or worsen, reach out to a healthcare professional. 🤍

Let’s keep the conversation about postpartum mental health going!

🎤 We took to campus to ask students one question:
How much do we really know about women’s health?
From periods and contraception to reproductive health and everything in between, we’re putting campus knowledge to the test. Vox P-OAP edition! 👀

WHIN it comes to… Pap smears!

Your cervical health matters. 💗 Pap smears are an important screening tool for detecting cervical cancer and precancerous changes early, but when to start and how often to screen can depend on your age, risk factors, and local guidelines.

Knowledge is power, and screening can save lives.
