Vaginas and Vertebrae

We are calling out all the BS* when it comes to the stigmas and myths around pregnancy and exercise.

On this week’s episode of Vaginas and Vertebrae, Dr. Madalyn and Dr. Kaylee discuss all things fitness and pregnancy by debunking the myths around it. They share stories of what pregnant moms experience when it comes to training at the gym, why its important that healthcare providers and trainers need to be mindful of what they tell their clients—help them understand what to expect throughout their pregnancy and fitness journey, and to consider taking additional prenatal education and training to provide great quality care specifically for their clients. In addition, they talk about how it's important to slow down, tune into your body and be more intentional when it comes to exercise. And much more!

There needs to be more guidance, conversations, and education around pregnancy and fitness. And it starts here.

Know that your body is incredible and and powerful.

The question is: can birth control pills cause pelvic pain?

This week we continue with a brand new mini series episode of Coffee and Vulvas, as Dr. Kaylee addresses whether there is a relationship between oral contraceptive pills and pelvic pain. 

She shares her personal story and experience with taking oral contraceptive and pelvic pain, briefly goes over the three types of birth control, and shares information that she has gathered from doing her research on the topic and its relationship to one another (like how hormone imbalance can affect the pelvic region's structure and function, etc.). 

There has been evidence that contraceptive pills can be tied to pelvic pain but not always. When considering birth control pills it is important to do your research and to find and discuss these questions with a health care provider who will explain birth control options, explains the risks and side effects, and provides reassessments. As well as to reach out to and get consultation from a Pelvic PT, like Dr. Kaylee, to address any concerns. 

It's time to shed the light on this topic.
There is more research that needs to be done to address this.

In society, women are conditioned to be placed to fit in a box of how women are suppose to be, to feel, to act, and look a certain way. This brings upon the struggles that women face. We tend to not feel or express our emotions the way we want to and we tend to hide our struggles which builds up this shame and disconnect.

On this episode of Vaginas and Vertebrae, Dr. Kaylee and Dr. Madalyn break down the stigmas that women face in society by opening up and sharing their own experiences, they discuss how important it is to give ourself permission to feel validation through our emotions, to understand our feelings, to create an open space, and to allow ourselves to express and communicate with yourself and others.

 Dang, this episode was not comfortable.  

But I've learned in my life that being a leader shouldn't be comfortable. We should strive to better ourselves, learn the things we do not know, so we can be and do better. I will be the first to admit that I was blind to the issues of racism in our country. I will also admit, initially, I was unsure how to handle the situaiton.

However, I did recognize my own privelage, the systemic racism, and the things I was blatantly not processing. I recognized the deep need to the inner work, the history educaiton, and seeking out how to do better.

That is why I decided to create this episode. It is the details of my thoughts, my open apology, and a perspective that hopefully will continue to help me become part of the solution, not the problem.

When it comes to choosing your health care team, it is important to acknowledge that is their job to educate and equip you with the knowledge. In the end YOU have the ultimate decision of making YOUR own choices.

TOP 8 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOUR HEALTH CARE PROVIDER:

1.) What is their stance on allowing you to choose your care?
2.) What options do you have during labor and delivery? What are those options?
3.) Do they typically push towards medications or do they approach in a more holistic way?
4.) What can you really expect or experience through pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum?
5.) Will you get any information about nutrition, mental health, and exercise from the medical provider?
6.) What is their stance on induced labor?
7.) Do they refer to other practitioners? (physical therapist, chiropractor, acupuncturist, etc.) And have they met them?
8.) Does your menstrual cycle matter?

These are important questions to ask!

Advocate for your own health and find providers who advocate FOR YOU.

Interested in being a part of our podcast:

 Let’s be honest, we all do it.


As women we find ourselves falling into a state of comparison. We become fixated on where we stand relative to others.

“Am I good enough?”
“They have this…”
“I don’t…I’m not…”

When we start comparing ourselves to others, we’re often comparing their best features against our own. Which can become self-destructive.

It’s an uncomfortable topic that not many people discuss. On this episode Dr. Madalyn and Dr. Kaylee share some of their deep darks secrets and their own personal stories on how comparison has personally affected them. And discuss ways of how to overcome it and the importance of setting boundaries.

We are all in a different journey and path.
We should be grateful for the things we have gone through in our life.
And it’s so important to see that!
