👏👏👏 It’s official: the Ultrasound Department at Virginia Physicians for Women has again been accredited by the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM). 💓

The 3-year accreditation means our practice meets or exceeds nationally recognized standards in the performance and interpretation of diagnostic ultrasound examinations, as well as the quality assurance requirements of a growing number of insurance companies.

Yes, we are in awe of your clinical excellence; but equally important is your compassion for our patients during critical moments in their lives.

💞 Despite its name, morning sickness can occur any time, day or night, causing a disruption in pregnant women’s lives. It tends to be most severe during the dynamic first trimester. That’s when hormone and blood sugar levels shift as the body prepares for its new occupant. It presents with nausea and vomiting, including sensitivity to smell.

If severe, you may need medical intervention to maintain a safe and healthy pregnancy. For most women, however, there are several things you can do to help with morning sickness at home.

💖 Top 5 morning sickness home remedies that have worked for VPFW patients:

1️⃣ Start the Day with a Snack: Eat small, bland snacks like crackers to settle your stomach.

2️⃣ Take your Prenatal Vitamin with Food: Taking prenatals with a meal can prevent them from irritating your stomach lining.

3️⃣ Incorporate Ginger: Use ginger teas, candies, or capsules for its nausea-fighting properties.

4️⃣ Try Acupressure Bands: Apply pressure to your P6 point for drug-free relief.

5️⃣ Eliminate Odors: Improve airflow and avoid strong scents to minimize nausea triggers.

Check out Dr. Lincoln's 5 Essential Things to Help with Morning Sickness (full blog post: https://vpfw.com/blog/essential-things-to-help-with-morning-sickness/) for more details, including when to speak to your doctor. And please share with any expecting mom who might need relief! 💞

💓 What actually helps bone strength in perimenopausal and menopausal women? This was a hot topic at the The Menopause Society’s 2025 Annual Meeting. During their recap of the conference, OvaryActive podcast co-hosts Dr. Amy Voedisch and Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su caught up with VPFW’s own Dr. Emily Stone, MSCP, to ask about something she already knew but was glad to hear reinforced by the experts.

“We had several really great lectures about bones and bone health and the importance of taking care of our bones starting early,” shared Dr. Stone. She spoke of how much our bones love estrogen and how estrogen helps maintain and protect them.

Strength training during perimenopause is critical to combat the effects of estrogen decline on bone health. The stress that strength training puts on bones stimulates them to remodel, increasing bone density when it would otherwise naturally decrease. Strength training also builds muscle strength to support mobility and reduce the risk of falling.

“There are lots of things we talked about today,” said Dr. Stone, “about bone health, including non-weight bearing exercise and weighted vests. But those actually don’t help our bones. It’s the lifting heavy stuff.”

How heavy? That depends. It’s all relative to each person, and safety comes into play. Dr. Stone recommends some great podcast episodes from Fit Life with Carrie Holland, MD and Doc Lyss Fitness for anyone interested in getting into strength training to build bone strength. You can find her list of strength training resources, along with ’s full recap of the Menopause Society’s 2025 Annual Meeting, at https://vpfw.com/blog/strength-training-for-bone-health-resources-to-help-you-get-started/.

And stay tuned for details on hosts Dr. Rebecca Dunsmoor-Su and Dr. Amy Voedisch’s stop in Richmond during their upcoming book tour for "Estrogen Interrupted" this spring/summer! They’ll be sitting down for a conversation with VPFW and VCU — and you’re invited! We’ll keep you posted as we iron out all the details. 💗

For now, happy heavy lifting! 💕

💕👟VPFW is thrilled to collect donations of new running shoes and Amazon e-gift cards to enable more girls to participate in Girls on the Run at local elementary and middle schools. You can help!

Two ways to donate through Friday, January 30th:

💗 Drop off new youth-sized running shoes at any VPFW location

💗 OR go to https://vpfw.com/blog/running-shoe-drive-for-girls-on-the-run/ and donate an Amazon e-gift card, which allows GOTR to use their non-profit discount to purchase $60 shoes for only $30!

The GOTR program focuses on the important connection between mind and body, building girls' physical and emotional health. The combination of targeted lessons and physical activity instills confidence and nurtures compassion in every girl. In fact, a recent independent study showed Girls on the Run makes an even stronger impact than organized sports and physical education programs in teaching life skills such as managing emotions, resolving conflict, helping others, and making intentional decisions.

Donate to help more girls in the Richmond area participate in Girls on the Run and help them activate their limitless potential! 💖👟

💖 We are so proud! Congratulations to VPFW’s Dr. Maria Meussling Schleicher and Dr. Jennie Draper who were voted to the Virginia Business Top Doctors 2026 List in the obstetrics and gynecology category.

During voting, practicing physicians across the state were asked to identify which of their peers are the top doctors in specific specialties, and it is no surprise that Dr. Schleicher and Dr. Draper made the list. From compassionate pregnancy care to life-saving gynecological surgeries, these two talented physicians guide patients through every stage of life with empathy and expertise.
