Cancer & Pregnancy Awareness Week
24th - 28th June 2024 #CPAW24
Cancer symptoms can be masked by the natural changes a body goes through while pregnant or after a birth.
Body awareness can empower you, or someone you know or love, to notice concerning changes early and give you the confidence to report them to a healthcare professional.
If your concerns turn out to be symptoms of something serious, early exploration and diagnosis can be key to an improved outcome.
​
We know it can be difficult to stay connected to what's 'normal' while in the flux of pregnancy or adjusting to life with a newborn.
During #CPAW24 we will be sharing simple ways for pregnant and post-natal people to stay body aware, through pregnancy and beyond.
Check back here, and on all our social media channels, throughout the week for content including:
​
* tips to stay body aware
* symptom masking - what it is and what to look for
* real life stories from mums who have experienced cancer in or around pregnancy
