Women’s healthcare doesn’t end when the childbearing years do.

Let’s talk about something that deserves a lot more attention: perimenopause and menopause.

For years, women have been told that feeling exhausted, struggling with sleep, experiencing mood changes, or noticing changes in their bodies is simply part of getting older.

But understanding why your body is changing matters.

Perimenopause can begin years before your final menstrual period, and symptoms can look different for every woman.

Some common experiences include:
Changes in menstrual cycles
Hot flashes and night sweats
Interrupted sleep and fatigue
Mood changes or difficulty concentrating
Vaginal dryness and changes in sexual health
Changes in body composition

These changes deserve real conversations, not dismissal.

At A New Story Birth Center, we believe women deserve to understand their bodies through every season of life. Education, nutrition, individualized assessment, and conversations about evidence-based treatment options can help women make informed decisions.

You don’t have to simply accept feeling miserable as your new normal.

On World Menopause Day, we’re reminding women that their health, comfort, and quality of life matter at every age.

Ladies, do you feel like women are given enough education about perimenopause before they begin experiencing it? What questions can we answer for you? Message us or drop them below!

Some lives are measured in moments, but remembered for a lifetime.

Today, on Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day, we pause to remember the little lives that left lasting impressions on the hearts of their families.

Whether your loss came before you ever heard a heartbeat, during pregnancy, or after welcoming your baby into the world, your story matters.

At A New Story Birth Center, we understand that pregnancy doesn’t always unfold the way we hope or pray it will.

It’s one of the reasons we’re so passionate about listening, educating, investigating concerns, and helping women access proactive, individualized care throughout their reproductive journeys.

We cannot prevent every loss, and not every loss has an identifiable cause. But we can continue advocating for thoughtful care, better answers, and compassionate support for families.

Tonight, families around the world are invited to light a candle at 7 p.m. for the Wave of Light, remembering babies gone too soon.

For the babies we hold in our hearts instead of our arms. 🫶🏻

You know your body. But are you making time to care for it?

As women, we’re often the ones remembering everyone’s appointments, checking on everyone else’s health, and making sure the people we love are taken care of.

But when was the last time you prioritized your own health?

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and today is National Mammography Day. It’s an important reminder that proactive healthcare matters.

A few things worth remembering:

🌸 Know what’s normal for your breasts and pay attention to changes.

🌸 Don’t ignore a new lump, skin changes, unusual ni**le discharge, or other concerning symptoms.

🌸 Talk with your healthcare provider about when to begin mammograms based on your age, family history, and individual risk factors.

🌸 Remember that breastfeeding, pregnancy, and postpartum changes don’t mean you should dismiss breast concerns.

At A New Story Birth Center, we believe women’s healthcare should be about more than responding when something goes wrong.

It’s about education, prevention, listening, and giving women the information they need to make confident decisions about their health.

You spend so much of your life caring for others. Make sure you’re on that list, too.

When was the last time you scheduled an appointment just for YOUR health? We can help!

Meet our Student Midwives. We are so grateful to everyone who invites them into clinic visits and the birth space. These future midwives each bring something unique to the care they provide. Student midwives spend hundreds of hours training to support families. If you could send a quick note of encouragement to the future midwives learning in our practice today, what would you say?
