As a community we have the ability to carry Ruth Bader Ginsburg's legacy forward🏆. She was a wife, lawyer, mother, and sat on the supreme court jusice- all in a time when women were expected to sit down and be quiet🚫. Her determination, and leadership to fight for equality for women and all minority groups is something we can all learn from✅.
.
One of her most famous quotes reinforces her committment to READING📚. Reading allowed her to become more educated to conquer her goals. As many of us are still at home with our families during a pandemic period, it presents an opportunity to READ as a family. READ about how "RBG" paved the way for equality, encourage the next generation to continue to challenge the status quo and to bring her legacy forward. 🙌🏻🙌🏼🙌🏽🙌🏾🙌🏿

October 15th, is National Pregnancy & Infant Loss Remembrance Day. On October 15th, take the opportunity to reflect, honor and come together as a community for parents, friends, and families who have suffered a pregnancy loss and/or infant death. Today we want to share Chrissy Teigan’s latest post. We as a community grieve with her and all those who have suffered similar losses💔. We are in awe of her bravery to share her intimate grief.
Chrissy is not alone, in fact 1 in 4 pregnancies end in a loss of a baby. As a public figure she truly has the ability to allow voices to be seen and heard, we thank her for her commitment to driving awareness💙. We hope the outpouring love their family receives will aid in the grieving process. We are sending our deepest condolences to Chrissy, her family, and also to those of you who also have been affected.

Reminder to those who partake in the Elf on the Shelf Festivities. Thanksgiving is upon us, and the magical Elf is about to appear‼️ Remember we are still in a pandemic period. The NH Government is still providing guidance which indicates ⚠️ "Those traveling to New Hampshire from non-New England states for an extended period of time are asked to self-quarantine for a two-week period. We realize this is difficult, and stressful during such a challenging time, but we all can help stop the spread of COVID 19 by following these guidelines.

Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)
Thank you Seacoast Moms for sharing what to expect when pregnant during COVID 19. Being pregnant during a pandemic can present lots of unknowns; what will my delivery look like, what’s different, can I still have a birth plan and what modifications will need to be made, will my partner be able to be by my side, the list goes on...
.
Our patient shares within the post below what it’s like to have a baby during a pandemic. She shares what is different, and how the care and quality has remained the same.

Watch Me Go Red
❤️ It's National Red Day ❤️
Today has been established to honor American Heart Month. American Heart Month is a federally designated event that is established to encourage Americans and their families to think about their heart health. Heart disease has no boundaries. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women. In fact heart disease has taken the lives of more women than all forms of cancer combined. Take time this month to ensure you are living a healthy lifestyle, check in with your numbers (how's your blood pressure and cholesterol), understand the risk (1 in 3 women pass from heart disease), challenge yourself and your family to reassess their food choices (FDA has great resources on evaluating food through a red, yellow, green rating system), talk to your kids and share with them why this month is imporant, and lastly share social content to collectively raise awareness ❤️
Tubal ligation is the medical term for the common term "tubes tied". The procedure entails cutting the fallopian tubes (tubes that connect your ovaries to your uterus- think of them as the passageway for your eggs), then tieing them to permantely prevent a future pregnancy. The benefits of this procedure is that it is a permanent birth control and it works (1 in 200 women get pregnant after, less than 1%). The procedure does not affect your hormones. With all surgeries there is always a level of risk, although rare there is risk of infection, bowel damage, and risk to bleeding. Again this is a permanent procedure.
Happy National Women Physicians Day!
.
February 3rd is such a special day as it honors female physicians that have paved the way since 1849. Today we recognize and celebrate Women Physicians, and a huge congratulations goes to our incredible team of physicians. We celebrate female physicians on February 3rd as it is the birthdate of Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell. Elizabeth Blackwell, was the first female to receive a medical degree in the United States. She took a leadership role and initiated a movement to aid in the entry of women into the field of medicine.
.
Our team continues to advocate for women in medicine. As a 100% women owned practice we aim to strike a balance in work-life-integration to allow women to succeed professionally while supporting a family.
.
Lets celebrate as a community the accomplishments of female physicians, and those women who are currently in pursuit of a medical degree.
There is a sac surrounding your little one filled with amniotic fluid. This fluid keeps your baby safe in your belly. The sac helps to regulated temperate, give cushion to the umbilical cord, and it allows your baby the necessary space to grow. When you hear the saying “my water broke” it simply means that the amniotic fluid sac ruptured. The sac ruptures as an indication that your body is preparing to deliver the baby. It’s important to note that the fluid from your water breaking will drain through your vagina; some women note it feels like they urinated in their pants or if sleeping in their bed.
💦
Here are some signs to watch for:
A gush of fluid, again like the sensation that you peed your pants.
A consistent leak
A slow leak and/or drip
A leak that starts and stops.
💦
What you should do if your water breaks:
Call your physician
Make sure to not insert anything to stop the leak. A pad is acceptable.
