💙 November is Bladder Health Month: Let’s Talk Pelvic Floor

Bladder leaks, urgency, pressure, or pelvic discomfort aren’t “just part of getting older” — they’re signs your pelvic floor may need support. And the good news? You don’t have to live with it.

Your pelvic floor plays a huge role in bladder control, core stability, sexual health, and overall comfort. When it becomes weak, tight, or uncoordinated, symptoms can show up in ways that affect daily life and confidence.

This month, we’re encouraging open conversations about:
✨ Pelvic floor strength
✨ Postpartum changes
✨ Bladder leaks and urgency
✨ Pain or pressure
✨ When to seek help

Our team at A Woman’s Place is here to listen, answer your questions, and guide you toward treatment options that can help you feel like yourself again.

Your bladder health matters — and caring for your pelvic floor is a powerful place to start. 💛

💗 A Beautiful Thank-You From One of Our Families

“As our journey of having children comes to a close, I cannot thank Jessica enough for the support through the years. We started seeing her four years ago with our first kiddo and she was amazing! We knew we wanted her by our side for our second journey as well.

During my second pregnancy, the practice continued to grow and we got to meet three other amazing ladies who supported us too. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience or a better birthing team. Thank you ladies so much! Best of luck as your practice grows.”

To the family who shared this heartfelt message — thank you for trusting us with two of life’s greatest chapters. 💕

At A Woman’s Place, it’s an honor to walk beside you through pregnancy, birth, and every season of womanhood.

🍂 When the days grow shorter and the light fades, many of us notice a shift in our mood. For some women, this isn’t just the “fall blues” — it may be Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD).
Here’s what you should know:

- SAD is a form of depression that happens in a seasonal pattern — most often from late fall through winter, when daylight hours shrink.

- Women are more likely than men to experience it.

- Signs can include persistent low mood, loss of interest in usual activities, fatigue or oversleeping, carbohydrate cravings and social withdrawal.

If you’re noticing these changes as the seasons turn, you don’t have to face it alone. For more information visit: https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/publications/seasonal-affective-disorder

🌙 Sleep & Hot Flashes: What Women Really Need to Know in Midlife

As the nights get cooler, many women in midlife face one of the trickiest parts of the menopausal transition: nighttime hot flashes and night sweats that steal your rest. These disruptive vasomotor symptoms — sudden waves of heat, flushed skin, and sweating — are extremely common and can interrupt the sleep you need.

Here’s how to get ahead of them:
💡 Cool your environment – keep your bedroom temperature down, use breathable cotton sheets and pajamas.

✅ Identify triggers – spicy food, caffeine, alcohol or heavy evening meals may make hot flashes worse.

💤 Prioritize sleep hygiene – aim for consistent bedtime, limit screen time before bed, and consider a calming pre-sleep routine.

🤝 Talk with your provider – night sweats that persist or severely affect your quality of life may benefit from lifestyle support, non-hormonal or hormonal options.

At A Woman’s Place, we’re here to help you navigate midlife changes with confidence and care. You don’t have to endure sleepless nights alone. Let’s help you restore your rest, reclaim your days and thrive through this next chapter. https://www.awomansplacefc.com/services/hormone-pellet-therapy

At A Woman’s Place, we join the American College of Nurse-Midwives (ACNM) in encouraging all those who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or postpartum to stay up to date on recommended vaccines.

Maternal immunization is a safe, effective way to protect both you and your baby from serious illness—especially during those first few vulnerable months of life. It’s one of the many ways we can nurture healthy beginnings together. 💜

🌿 Today we recognize World Menopause Day — a time to talk openly, share support, and embrace a new chapter of balance, vitality, and wellness.

As hormone levels change with age, many women experience challenges like fatigue, weight gain, sleep disturbances, and low libido. While traditional hormone replacement therapy can help, it isn’t always convenient or consistent. That’s why A Woman’s Place offers the EvexiPEL® Method, a unique approach to hormone pellet therapy designed to restore balance naturally and effectively.

You deserve to feel your best at every stage of life. 💜
