Pregnant and exhausted? Heed our tips for sleeping comfortably and safely during pregnancy. A woman makes so many adjustments and changes during pregnancy, from diet to physical activity, that sleeping positions can become an issue as the baby grows. We take a look at the science and health of sleeping comfortably during pregnancy, as well as what to avoid for the best night’s sleep. On Your Side or On Your Back? Research has shown that lying on your back is not advisable during pregnancy. The baby’s increasing weight and size of the uterus exert pressure on a major blood-carrying vein (the inferior vena cava) that’s located behind the uterus. This disturbs the blood flow to the baby. Doctors generally recommend sleeping on your side during pregnancy, and either side is fine. Research has shown that the left side is an ideal sleeping position because the pressure of the growing uterus is alleviated. This promotes the best blood flow by avoiding compression of the vein. How Do Sleeping Positions Affect Babies? The answer is blood flow. Your sleeping position as the baby grows is influenced by how you sleep. Sadly, there have been an increased number of late births in women […]

When it comes to your sexual health, we are a judgement-free environment. We often hear about the importance of maintaining physical, mental and spiritual health. Feeling confident and happy about sexual health is also important. Achieving sexual health allows for healthy relationships, planned pregnancies and disease prevention. It’s important to be well-informed about all aspects of sexual health and how to have a fulfilling sex life. Being aware of factors that could complicate your sexual health is equally important. Don’t let embarrassment or fear keep you from talking with your healthcare provider about this important part of your health. That’s why we’re here! We have these conversations with patients every day, and there is no question that is out of bounds.

Much about birth defects is unknown, but there are steps women can take to lessen the chances. January is National Birth Defect Prevention month, and we want to take this time to discuss what is known about birth defects, as well as steps a prospective mom can take toward prevention. A birth defect is a condition that is present at birth. Some birth defects can be seen immediately after the baby is born, such as a clubfoot or extra fingers or toes. Some birth defects aren’t so easy to identify. Special tests may be needed to find birth defects, such as heart defects or hearing loss. The CDC maintains statistics on the most common birth defects, as well as insightful descriptions of them. What Causes Birth Defects? We don’t know what causes the majority of birth defects. Some are caused by genes that can be passed from parents to children. Others result from a problem with chromosomes. However, some birth defects are caused by exposure during pregnancy to certain medications, infections and chemicals (such as alcohol or other substances). How Do I Prevent Birth Defects? While we don’t know precisely what causes most birth defects, there are steps a prospective […]
