Do genetics play a role in both fibroid growth and heavy menstrual bleeding? 👩🏽‍🧬
Yes — your family history can tell you more than you think.

Studies show that women with a close relative (like a mother or sister) who has fibroids are up to three times more likely to develop them, too. This genetic connection can also influence how your body responds to hormones like estrogen and progesterone — the same hormones that fuel fibroid growth and impact your menstrual flow.

So, if heavy bleeding runs in your family, it might not just be “bad luck.” Genetics, combined with hormones and lifestyle factors, can make periods heavier or longer than average. The good news? You can still manage and treat these symptoms effectively with the right care.

Deciding when to share your pregnancy news can feel surprisingly stressful — especially for first-time moms. 💭 You’re excited, nervous, and maybe even unsure about what’s “too early” or “too late” to tell others.

Here’s why timing your announcement matters:

🤰 Early pregnancy can be unpredictable: The first trimester brings big changes and sometimes uncertainties, which is why some parents choose to wait until after their first prenatal visit or ultrasound.

💬 You deserve to process your emotions: Before telling others, take time to understand your own feelings and plans — it helps you feel more grounded and confident.

👨‍👩‍👧 Family dynamics differ: Every family has its own way of reacting. Thinking about how and when to share helps you set healthy boundaries.

💗 It’s your journey, your choice: Whether you announce right away or wait, the timing should align with what feels best for you and your partner.

✨ Remember — there’s no rulebook for this moment. Trust your instincts and celebrate in your own time.

Ever wondered if fibroids could be behind your heavy or painful periods? 💭

Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths that develop in or on the uterus — and they’re more common than many realize. While some women have no symptoms, others experience:

🔹 Heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that leads to fatigue or anemia
🔹 Pelvic pressure or pain that feels like a constant heaviness
🔹 Frequent urination or bloating due to fibroids pressing on nearby organs
🔹 Cramping and clotting during menstruation

Fibroids can vary in size and number, but even small ones can cause noticeable discomfort depending on where they grow. The good news? There are treatment options available—from medication to minimally invasive procedures—that can help restore your comfort and quality of life.

📞 Call us at (757) 335-7165 to schedule your consultation with Lifetime Women’s Health, proudly serving women in Hampton Roads, Virginia. You deserve answers and relief.

Are you feeling a little “off” and wondering if it might be a pregnancy symptom? 🤔✨
For many first-time moms, the first few weeks can feel confusing—especially when the signs are subtle.

Here’s how your body begins to change early on:
💫 Fatigue – Your body is working overtime producing hormones to support your baby’s growth.
💫 Breast tenderness – Hormonal changes may make your breasts feel sore or fuller.
💫 Mood swings – Fluctuating hormones can affect your emotions.
💫 Light spotting or cramping – This can happen when the fertilized egg attaches to your uterus (implantation).
💫 Missed period – One of the most common early indicators that prompts a pregnancy test.

Every woman’s experience is unique—but paying attention to your body’s signals can help you know when it’s time to take a test or call your provider.

At Lifetime Women’s Health, we’re here to support you from the very start of your journey. 💕

Ever wondered why your period leaves you feeling dizzy or exhausted? 😩
Here’s why heavy bleeding can lead to iron deficiency anemia and fatigue.

When your body loses more blood than it can replace each month, your iron levels drop — and since iron is what helps your blood carry oxygen, a deficiency can make you feel tired, lightheaded, weak, or short of breath.

This isn’t just “normal period tiredness.” Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) can cause ongoing fatigue that impacts your focus, mood, and daily energy levels. Over time, your body struggles to produce enough red blood cells, leaving you feeling drained even after rest.

The good news? Once the cause of heavy bleeding is identified — whether it’s fibroids, hormonal imbalances, or another condition — treatment can help restore your iron levels and your quality of life.

💬 If your period is leaving you wiped out every month, don’t ignore it. Call Lifetime Women’s Health at (757) 335-7165 to schedule your appointment. We’re here to help women across Hampton Roads, Virginia feel stronger, healthier, and more in control.

Why is sleep suddenly so difficult, even though you’re exhausted during pregnancy? 😴

You’re not imagining it—pregnancy can seriously disrupt your sleep cycle. As your body works overtime to support your growing baby, several changes can make rest harder to come by:

🩵 Hormonal shifts — Rising progesterone levels can make you feel drowsy during the day but restless at night.
🩵 Frequent urination — Your growing uterus presses on your bladder, meaning more nighttime bathroom trips.
🩵 Body discomfort — Back pain, leg cramps, and heartburn become common as your body adjusts.
🩵 Anxiety or vivid dreams — Hormonal and emotional changes can affect your sleep quality.

Good sleep during pregnancy is essential—it helps your body recover, supports your baby’s development, and keeps your immune system strong.

📞 If sleepless nights are taking a toll, call Lifetime Women’s Health at (757) 335-7165. We’re here to help moms-to-be across Hampton Roads, Virginia get the care and support they need.

💭 Did you know PCOS can cause both missed and heavy periods? It might sound confusing, but it all comes down to how PCOS affects your hormones.

Polycystic O***y Syndrome (PCOS) can disrupt the balance of hormones that control your menstrual cycle. When ovulation doesn’t happen regularly, your uterine lining keeps thickening month after month instead of shedding normally. Eventually, when your body does shed that lining, the bleeding can be much heavier and longer than a typical period.

That’s why women with PCOS often experience irregular cycles — skipping periods for months, then having extremely heavy ones. Over time, this can lead to anemia and fatigue, making daily life harder to manage.

👩‍⚕️ You don’t have to deal with unpredictable or heavy bleeding alone. Help is available.

We’re here to support women throughout Hampton Roads, Virginia.
