Every birth story is different and so is every mom’s vision for delivery.
For some, it’s having a calm room and clear communication. For others, it’s pain management options, support during labor, or those first quiet moments with baby. At Heartland Women’s Group, we’re here to support the birth experience that matters most to you. Call (316) 867-1681 to schedule.

Period cramps can be common — but period pain that stops you in your tracks isn’t something you have to “just live with.”

If you’re missing work/school, doubling over, or relying on pain meds every month, it may be time to check in. This quick read on the Wesley Healthcare Healthy Living blog breaks down signs your cramps may be abnormal and when it’s worth seeing a doctor (including possible causes like endometriosis or fibroids).

Wondering when your teen should see a gynecologist for the first time?

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends a first reproductive health visit around ages 13 to 15, and it’s often more about conversation than an exam.

At Heartland Women’s Group, we’re known for teen-friendly care that’s comfortable, respectful, and low-pressure. We take time to answer questions, talk through periods and cramps, discuss cycle concerns or birth control when appropriate, and help your teen build a trusted relationship with their provider.

Why do you get a Pap test? Because prevention saves lives.

At Heartland Women’s Group, we’re passionate about helping patients protect their cervical health through education, routine screening, and preventive care.

Cervical cancer often has no symptoms in early stages, which is why regular Pap tests (and HPV testing when appropriate) are so important. Most cervical cancers are linked to HPV, and there are real steps you can take to lower risk: staying up to date on screenings, asking about the HPV vaccine, avoiding smoking, staying active, and practicing safer s*x.

Want a deeper dive into risk factors, symptoms, and screening recommendations by age? Read: https://www.wesleymc.com/healthy-living/blog/how-to-promote-cervical-health

If you’re not sure when you’re due for screening, we’re here to help.

💙January is Birth Defects Awareness Month. 💙 Not all birth defects can be prevented, but there are a few everyday steps that can help lower risk, especially before pregnancy and in those early weeks.

A few good places to start: take 400 mcg of folic acid daily, even if you are just “not trying, not preventing,” avoid alcohol, to***co, and recreational drugs, and schedule a preconception visit so you can review medications, health conditions (like diabetes or high blood pressure), and vaccines before you’re pregnant.

Want a trustworthy deep dive? ACOG has a helpful guide here:

And if you have questions or want help getting started, Heartland Women’s Group is here for you. 💛

Packing for the hospital can feel like preparing for a trip you can’t exactly predict. Our partner hospital, Wesley Medical Center, made a quick “What to Pack” video to take the guesswork out of it.

Bring the basics: ID and insurance card, phone charger, toiletries, chapstick, comfy slide-on shoes, a robe, and yes, your own pillow. Wesley has the rest covered, from gowns and postpartum supplies to plenty of baby essentials.

And, of course, you are always welcome to chat with us about it at your next visit!
