If you’re pregnant and feel a sharp, stabbing pain in your lower belly or groin when you stand up, roll over, or move suddenly, you’re probably experiencing round ligament pain.

The round ligaments are bands of tissue that support your uterus. As your uterus grows, these ligaments stretch and thin out. Sudden movements like standing up quickly, coughing, or rolling over in bed can cause them to tighten rapidly, leading to a sharp or aching pain.
It’s very common in the second trimester and is considered a normal part of pregnancy.

Some tips to help:
– Change Positions Slowly: Take your time when standing, rolling over, or sitting up.
– Gentle Support: Use a belly band or maternity support belt to take pressure off your ligaments.
– Stretching & Prenatal Yoga: Safe stretches (like cat-cow or gentle hip openers) can ease tension.
– Warmth: A warm (not hot) compress or bath may provide relief.
– Rest: Lying on your side with a pillow between your knees often feels more comfortable.

If the pain is severe, persistent, or comes with bleeding, fever, contractions, or changes in vaginal discharge, check in with your OB right away.

🌟 Employee Spotlight: Meet Shelbie! 🌟

We are so excited to shine a spotlight on Shelbie, one of our amazing Nurse Practitioners who works alongside Dr. Atkins here at Fenom! 💜

Shelbie and her husband, Cody, were blessed with their sweet daughter Tatum, and they can’t wait to watch her grow and hopefully add more little ones to their family down the road.

Family means everything to Shelbie—she loves spending time with her two sisters and her precious niece, Andie Kate. She and Cody are big Cowboys fans 🏈 and enjoy hanging out by the pool on warm summer days. Most of their free time is spent with family, which makes her happiest of all.

✨ Something you may not know: Shelbie used to be an athletic trainer while in nursing school, traveling with Weatherford College’s women’s basketball team, which grew her love for sports even more. She was also the captain of her high school tennis team! These days, life is busy with work and family, but she and Cody still enjoy playing Pickleball with friends whenever they get the chance. 🎾

We’re so grateful for Shelbie’s kindness, dedication, and the heart she pours into our patients and our Fenom family every single day! 💕

If you’re in your 40s and suddenly tossing and turning at night, you’re not imagining it. Perimenopause is a time of shifting hormones that can affect your sleep quality. These fluctuations can lead to: trouble falling or staying asleep, night sweats and hot flashes, lighter, more fragmented sleep, and more fatigue during the day.

Sleep Hygiene: Keep a consistent bedtime, limit screen time, and avoid caffeine after noon.

Lifestyle Tweaks: Daily movement, a cool dark bedroom, and cutting back on alcohol can really help.

Hormone Therapy (HRT): For many women, estrogen and progesterone therapy can dramatically improve sleep. Ask your OB/Gyn if it’s right for you.

Supplements:
• Magnesium glycinate – supports relaxation and sleep
• Melatonin – helpful for short-term use or travel

Tools Worth Trying:
Weighted blanket for calm and pressure-based comfort
White noise machine
Blue light–blocking glasses in the evening

Sleep is vital, and it’s absolutely worth talking about with your doctor.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) affects up to 1 in 10 women, and it's a metabolic and hormonal condition. If you’ve been diagnosed, you’ve probably heard about supplements. But what’s hype vs. what’s helpful?

Here’s what the evidence says:
✅ What May Help (Backed by Studies)
1. Myo-Inositol & D-Chiro-Inositol: These B-vitamin-like compounds improve insulin sensitivity and may restore ovulation. Studies show improved menstrual regularity and egg quality, especially helpful for those TTC.
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Anti-inflammatory and may help regulate hormones and reduce triglycerides. They’re found in fish oil or plant-based algae sources.
3. NAC (N-Acetylcysteine): An antioxidant that may improve insulin resistance and support ovulation. Some data suggests it can help regulate cycles when taken with or without metformin.
4. Vitamin D: Many women with PCOS are deficient. Low levels are associated with worsened symptoms, including insulin resistance and mood changes. Replacing vitamin D can help with metabolism and may even support cycle regularity. But be sure you follow your levels! Since this is a fat soluble vitamin, you can get too much.
5. Magnesium & Zinc: These minerals may support blood sugar regulation and reduce androgen symptoms (like acne or hair growth), though data is less robust.

⚠️ What to Be Cautious About
1. Berberine: Promising for glucose metabolism, but more studies are needed on safety in long-term use or pregnancy.
2. “Detox” or weight loss teas: Often gimmicky and not rooted in science.
3. Expensive blends: Many include underdosed ingredients or combinations not backed by evidence. Always check with your provider first.

Supplements can be a great support, but they are not a replacement for personalized care. If you’re dealing with PCOS, especially if you're trying to conceive or managing irregular cycles, we’re here to guide you through the right combination of lifestyle, labs, and treatment.

Here’s a general timeline of what happens during puberty for girls:

🔹 1. Breast Development (Thelarche)
Usually the first sign, often starting between ages 8–13. You may notice small, tender lumps under one or both ni***es (totally normal if they’re uneven at first!).
🔹 2. Growth Spurt
Right after breast buds appear, there’s usually a noticeable increase in height. This is your body growing fast!
🔹 3. P***c & Underarm Hair (Adrenarche)
Hair growth typically follows breast development. It may start sparse and become thicker over time.
🔹 4. Body Changes
Sweat glands become more active (hello deodorant!), body shape changes (like widening hips), and some girls may experience acne.
🔹 5. Menstruation (Period Begins)
Typically 2–3 years after breast development starts, usually between ages 10–15. It’s okay if it’s irregular at first.

🌱 Everyone goes through puberty at their own pace. What’s “normal” is actually a range!

💬 Talk to your healthcare provider if your child starts puberty before age 8 or hasn’t started any signs by age 13.

Mammograms are the gold standard for breast cancer screening. According to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), screening mammography reduces breast cancer mortality by at least 15–20% in women aged 40 and older.

What is a mammogram?
It’s a low-dose X-ray that can detect breast cancer before you can feel a lump, often 1–3 years before symptoms appear. That early detection is critical. It gives you more treatment options and significantly improves outcomes.

Why it's important:
- 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime
- Mammograms catch 85–90% of breast cancers
- Other tests like ultrasounds or thermography have not been proven to detect cancer as effectively or reliably

But I don’t feel anything abnormal…
That’s exactly why routine screening is so important. Breast cancer can grow silently, and mammograms help catch it early when it’s most treatable.

💬 Talk to your doctor about when to start (often age 40) and how often you should screen based on your personal and family history.
