Happy Labor Day! We couldn't resist a little pun today, since we spend a lot of our time talking about labor of a very different kind. Whether you're relaxing today, working, or somewhere in between, we hope you're taking a moment to appreciate everything your body does for you. And if you're currently expecting and thinking about your own labor day sometime soon, we're always here to talk through questions, birth plans, or anything else on your mind. Enjoy the long weekend ๐Ÿ’›

Today is World Sexual Health Day, and we want to say the quiet part out loud: your sexual health is just as important as any other part of your health, and it deserves the same honesty and care. That means regular screenings, open conversations about your body, and a provider who won't make you feel embarrassed for asking questions. Whatever stage of life you're in, whatever your history looks like, you deserve care that meets you without judgment. If it's been a while since your last visit, or you've got questions you've been sitting on, we're here for it. Book through the link in our bio ๐Ÿ’›

There's no such thing as a silly question when it comes to your body. We hear things like this all the time, and every single one deserves a real answer, not an eye roll or a "that's just normal." If you've been sitting on a question because it feels embarrassing to say out loudโ€ฆ we promise you it's not. You can ask us, and what happens in the exam room stays in the exam room! Come ask us anything, we mean it ๐Ÿ’›

So many women spend years being told their symptoms are normal, or that they just need to try harder, before anyone mentions PCOS (now officially renamed PMOS โ€” Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome โ€” to better reflect that it's a whole-body hormonal condition, not just an o***y issue). Most people still know it as PCOS, and that's okay, but the update says a lot: this was never just about cysts. It's one of the most common hormonal conditions out there, and one of the most misunderstood. If your period has a mind of its own, or you've been fighting your body instead of understanding it, there might be a real reason why. You deserve answers, not guesswork. Book a visit through the link in our bio and let's figure out what's actually going on ๐Ÿ’›

Let's clear this one up because we hear it a lot.
You do not need to be sexually active to need a pap smear.
Pap smears screen for cervical cell changes that can lead to cancer. That process can happen regardless of your sexual history. The recommendation is to start at 21, period.
We get why the myth exists. But skipping your pap because you're not sexually active is one of those things that can have really serious consequences down the road.
If you're 21 or older and haven't had one, let's get that scheduled! Book through the link in our bio. ๐Ÿค

Spoiler: morning sickness is absolutely not just a morning thing.
The name is honestly misleading. The nausea you feel during pregnancy is triggered by rising pregnancy hormones, and those hormones don't clock out after breakfast. They're with you all day, which means the nausea can be too.
A few things that actually help:
Small, frequent meals instead of three big ones. An empty stomach makes it worse. Keeping crackers or a snack by your bed to eat before you even get up. Ginger. Staying hydrated even when everything sounds awful.
And please, ask for help. From your partner, from your people, from us. You don't have to just white knuckle your way through the first trimester!!
If your nausea is severe or you can't keep anything down, that's something we really want to know about. Book through the link in our bio๐Ÿค

You don't have to be overweight to have insulin resistance. This is something we see all the time and it often goes undetected because people don't know what to look for.
Signs to pay attention to:
Fatigue, especially after meals. Intense sugar or carb cravings. Brain fog. Difficulty losing weight even when you're doing everything right. Dark velvety patches of skin around the neck, armpits, or groin. Skin tags. Irregular periods.
If any of those hit close to home, it's worth bringing up at your next visit. Insulin resistance is very manageable when you catch it early.

Here's something a lot of women don't know: the first sign of perimenopause isn't always hot flashes. For a lot of people it's just PMS that suddenly feels so much worse than it used to.
Here's why. As you get closer to menopause, ovulation starts becoming less consistent. And when you don't ovulate, your body produces less progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone that balances everything out, so without it, estrogen runs a little more unopposed and your symptoms get louder.
More mood swings. Worse cramps. Heavier periods. More anxiety in the days before your cycle. It's not in your head, your hormones are actually shifting.
If your PMS has started feeling different in your late thirties or forties, come talk to us. There's a lot we can do. Book through the link in our bio. ๐Ÿค
