A mum is very good at prioritising the needs of others. So good, that she sometimes puts her own needs on the back burner – like keeping up to date with her routine health checks. Are you up to date with all of yours?

Importance of regular health checks

Motherhood is full-on. Yes, it’s rewarding, but it’s also demanding, challenging, exhausting and stressful. That’s why looking after your health and well-being isn’t a luxury; it’s a necessity. When you take care of your physical, mental, and emotional health, you’re better equipped to care for your children. Everyone benefits—especially your family.

One of the most powerful forms of self-care you can practise as a mum is staying on top of your health.

No matter your age, family history, or how well you feel right now, keeping up with regular health checks is essential. Early detection can mean faster, more effective treatment—and in some cases, it can save your life.

Every woman is different, with her own medical history and risk factors. But regardless of our differences, there are a few key screenings and check-ups that all mums should prioritise.

7 important tests all women should keep up to date with:

❗ IMPORTANT: The frequency of each test depends on the individual woman. Things like family history and current health situation are taken into consideration. Always consult your doctor and be tested as per your doctor’s or specialist’s advice.

1. General GP Check-up (may include blood pressure, weight, heart rate, temparture checks and blook tests).
2. Dental Clean and Check-up
3. Eye Check
4. Skin Check
5. Cervical Screening Test
6. Mammogram
7. Bowel Cancer Screening Test
