Health check up - Real Mum story on MoM

9 Comments

Busy mums often put the needs of their families first and I would like to encourage all mums to look after themselves. At the beginning of the year I book in a health check to get all of those necessary annual check ups done. Book in time and have a check up and then treat yourself to coffee and cake. Being a healthy mum is the best thing you can do for your family.

Setting a date is a great idea, it is so easy to put things off.

True… I had a catastrophic health issue, and now wish we’d caught it earlier.

You’re right. We often forget that if we get sick then its much harder on our families.

Yes, it’s easy to avoid doing this when everyone else’s needs are being attended to.

Yes you are right . I also think women suffer more mental health issues due to stress and extra responsibilities so thank you for reminding us .

  I attended a conference and it was quite interesting as women do suffer from more anxiety than men. We all have a responsibility to look after each other, which includes metal health and checking that people are ok, if not, aiding them to get support.
