The joys of the first trimester.
🤮 Anyone else throw up while they were pregnant?
When I was pregnant in 2018, my very first wave of nausea hit with onions. I was so revolted. As someone who’s never been a picky eater, that was one of the most bizarre experiences for me. 🤯
Luckily for me, I finally felt like I could eat most foods again as I transitioned to the second semester of my pregnancy. I could start picking nutritious foods that energized me, gave me quality sources of protein, fiber, fats, and carbs.
What helped your nausea during pregnancy? Any questions about the first trimester?

✨ Bladder tips for teachers ✨
Approximately 50% of teachers report inadequate bathroom breaks, and the resulting problems are no joke.
So what can you do to help yourself when you really have to go?
Normal urination should happen every 2-4 hours, but there are some things you can do to quiet the urge to pee until you can get to a toilet during your next break:
➡️ Distract yourself.
➡️ Take long, relaxing, deep breaths.
➡️ Perform 5-6 pelvic floor contractions (Kegels) to quiet your bladder’s urge.

Did you know September is National PCOS Awareness Month?
Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a challenge that’s often misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and not talked about enough. 🚨
So let’s set the record straight on what PCOS is, why it’s so dang painful, and how to ease your symptoms. 😥
People who have PCOS have high levels of androgens, or male sex hormones. In some cases, women who have polycystic ovaries don’t have enough of the hormones responsible for ovulation. And when ovulation doesn’t happen, the underdeveloped and unreleased eggs result in the chronic development of small cysts (fluid-filled sacs) on the ovaries.
In addition to ovarian cysts and chronic pelvic pain, the most common symptoms of PCOS include:
➡️ Irregular periods. Most people with PCOS have periods that are few and far between.
➡️ Enlarged ovaries. Due to inflammation and cysts, people with PCOS often have larger ovaries.
➡️ Excess hair growth. Folks tend to have hirsutism, or increased facial and body hair.
➡️ Weight gain. This happens especially in the belly area.
➡️ Skin problems. People often have acne, oily skin, skin tags, or dark, thick skin patches.
The good news? Pelvic floor physical therapy and PCOS are BFFs. 🤝 Pelvic floor PT can help address general pain in the abdomen and pelvis, as well as pain that occurs during your periods or sex.

✨ It's common, but not normal. ✨
Just like any muscle, your pelvic floor muscles can get short and tight, go into spasms, or be too tense. This can cause v@ginal penetration to be brutal and, sometimes, impossible. Pain can also occur during deeper penetration or with 0rgasms.

✨Four years ago, I gave a Tedx Talk on Rethinking Postpartum Care.✨ It was, and continues to be, a highlight of my career and was an opportunity to share my vision for the much-needed change in healthcare for women and mothers.
I was so nervous the week before my talk that I literally almost pooped my pants because my nerves were so bad. 💩
Have you ever pooped your pants before? Or had so much trouble holding it that you almost did? Questions? ⬇️

Today is Vaginismus Awareness Day! 👀
Make sure to save this workout. 🤸🏻♀️
If you’re thinking, “What the heck is vaginismus?” you’re definitely not alone. Vaginismus is the involuntary tensing or contracting of muscles around the v@gina. Many people with v@ginas have never even heard of it, and here’s why ➡️ Vaginismus symptoms can feel embarrassing to talk about.
➡️ “I can’t insert a tampon.”
➡️ “No matter how hard I try, I can’t ‘just relax’ during a pelvic exam.”
➡️ “It’s like I clamp shut when I try to have seggs.”
If you’ve experienced any of these symptoms, I want you to know you’re not alone. Let’s focus on these exercises you can do to help with your vaginismus symptoms. 🤸♀️
