There is nothing we love more than seeing healthcare professionals come together to support women on their most beautiful, and sometimes most challenging, life journeys. On October 10, 2026, Dr. Maiza Tusimin had the absolute joy of speaking at the Update on Maternal and Neonatal Health (UMaNeH) 2026 conference.
Hosted by the incredible team at MAMANEH (Malaysian Association of Maternal and Neonatal Health), the event was held from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM at the lovely Espira Kinrara in Puchong. Supported by the Obstetric and Gynaecology Society of Malaysia (OGSM), the day was filled with brilliant medical minds sharing their expertise and love for maternal care.
Starting a family is a profound milestone, and the journey begins long before you see that positive pregnancy test! Throughout the day, healthcare providers, doctors, and nurses gathered to learn about everything from preconception nutrition and environmental toxins to protecting those precious first 90 days of pregnancy. It was a beautiful reminder that preparing your body for a baby is an act of deep self-care.
Dr. Maiza took the stage to present her special topic: “The Weight Window”.
We know that talking about weight can sometimes feel sensitive or overwhelming. But in her signature warm and compassionate style, Dr. Maiza broke down the science of why finding a healthy, balanced weight is so magically important for conception and early pregnancy. Navigating this “weight window” isn’t about chasing a number on a scale; it is about creating the most nourishing, safe, and loving environment for your future little one to grow. By understanding how metabolism and hormones dance together, women can empower themselves to take gentle, proactive steps toward their fertility goals.
To all the women out there who are dreaming of their “Ready, set, grow” moment, please know that you are never alone. Whether you are actively trying to conceive, preparing your body for the future, or navigating the beautiful chaos of the first trimester, we are here cheering you on.
Are you planning to start your own beautiful family journey soon? We would love to support you every step of the way! Book a fertility or preconception consultation with Dr. Maiza Tusimin today, and let’s find your healthiest, happiest starting line.
