Over the past year, I’ve had a number of patients come back to me with second and even third!! pregnancies. Seeing returning patients as they grow their families is absolutely one of the best parts of my job, and over the last year it’s also sparked some reflection on how much my clinical knowledge and opinions have evolved over time.
While I’ve always worked hard to provide the best possible education to pregnant and postpartum folks, I’ve found myself tweaking the words of my past self for some of my returning patients. As my clinical experience has grown and pelvic health research has grown, what I share and how I share it has changed, too.
Years ago, a colleague of mine said that if she’s treating the same way 6 months from now as she is now, something has gone wrong. And I agree with her - as clinicians, our knowledge should be ever evolving.

And clinical friends!! Tell me what you’ve changed your tune on over the past few years!!
