Pregnancy is a powerful transformation, and your cardiovascular system works overtime to keep up! By the third trimester, your cardiac output (the amount of blood your heart pumps each minute) increases by 30–50% compared to pre-pregnancy levels. That’s a lot of extra work for your heart!

After about 32 weeks, your heart maintains that output by increasing heart rate, as stroke volume (how much blood is pumped per beat) starts to decline.

What does this mean for you?

You might notice:

-Shortness of breath

-Fatigue

-Decreased exercise tolerance

-Dizziness or lightheadedness

-Mild chest discomfort

✅ These are often normal, but they shouldn't be ignored.

If you have a history of high blood pressure, heart conditions, or other risk factors, your OB may recommend additional monitoring or referral to a maternal-fetal medicine or cardiology specialist.

💧 Stay hydrated
🛏️ Rest when you need to
📞 Speak up if something feels off

Your heart is doing incredible work! Let’s support it!

✨ Meet the Team Tuesday ✨

Say hello to Idalia, our amazing Medical Assistant working alongside Dr. Wagner here at Fenom Women’s Care! 💗

Idalia is a proud mom of 5 (yes, FIVE! 🙌), a dog mom to her sweet Shih Tzu, and has three brothers — no sisters! She’s been happily married for 3 years and treasures time with her family.

When she’s not caring for our patients, you can probably find her at Target 🛍️, watching her favorite series or podcasts, or enjoying a little Red Bull boost ⚡️

Something special about Idalia — she has a heart for helping others and has been going to church every Sunday with her parents since she was a child. 💕

We are so thankful for the compassion, positivity, and dedication she brings to our team and to Dr. Wagner’s patients every day!

Help us show Idalia some love in the comments! 💬👇

Let’s Talk Lubricants 💗
Because pleasure should never be painful.

As OB/Gyns, we know how many things can affect intimacy including hormones, stress, menopause, birth control, breastfeeding… even just life! That’s why lubricant is one of the easiest and most empowering tools to keep things comfortable and enjoyable.

Here’s your l**e lowdown:

🔹 Water-Based Lubricants
The most versatile option. It's safe to use with condoms and toys. Easy to clean, non-staining, and widely available.
Best for: everyday intimacy or if you’re sensitive to additives.
Watch for: parabens or glycerin if you’re prone to irritation or yeast infections.

🔹 Silicone-Based Lubricants
Silky and long-lasting, so no need to reapply. Great for water activities (like shower s*x!) and less likely to dry out.
Best for: longer sessions or those with more vaginal dryness.
Caution: Not ideal with silicone toys (can degrade the material).

🔹 Oil-Based Lubricants
Think coconut oil or specialty intimacy oils.
Best for: massage or if you’re not using condoms.
Important: Oil can break down latex and increase risk of condom failure.

And if you’re noticing more dryness than usual, don’t ignore it, especially during perimenopause, postpartum, or while breastfeeding. Hormonal shifts can cause vaginal tissue changes, and a good lubricant is only part of the solution. Vaginal moisturizers, local estrogen, or other treatment options might be helpful, and we’re here to guide you through them.

This Valentine’s Month, prioritize comfort and connection. Your body deserves both.

✨ Meet the Team Tuesday ✨

Today we’re excited to spotlight Michaela, one of the incredible sonographers who helps make Fenom such a special place for our patients and staff.

Michaela is a proud mom to a 1-year-old, one of six siblings, and a devoted dog mom to Jasper (a rescue pitbull) and Jethro (a French bulldog). Family is at the heart of everything she does, and she loves spending time with those closest to her. 🐾💗

Outside of work, Michaela enjoys reading, spending time with family, and indulging in her favorite reality TV shows. Having previously lived in California, she loved being outdoors—though she jokes that DFW is a little too flat!

A fun fact about Michaela: she has a huge passion for animals and travel. With her mom and stepdad living in Florida, she’s had the chance to snorkel with manatees, visit an elephant sanctuary, take dolphin tours, snorkel with barracudas in the Bahamas, hand-feed giraffes, kayak with stingrays, and she makes it a goal to visit an aquarium everywhere she travels. 🌊🐘🦒

We’re so grateful to have Michaela as part of the Fenom Women’s Care family—her compassion, positivity, and love for people (and animals!) truly shine.

This Black History Month, we honor the pioneers who shaped medicine and the leaders today who continue pushing for equity in women’s health.

One trailblazer we recognize is Dr. Rebecca Lee Crumpler, the first Black woman physician in the United States. Her work caring for women and children laid an early foundation for compassionate, community-centered medicine at a time when both racism and s*xism were deeply entrenched in healthcare.

Today, Black physicians, researchers, midwives, doulas, and advocates continue that legacy by addressing one of the most urgent issues in OB/Gyn: maternal health equity.

Black women in the United States are 3–4 times more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women. They also face higher rates of preeclampsia, preterm birth, fibroids, and postpartum complications. These disparities are not due to biology. They reflect systemic barriers such as unequal access to care, bias in medicine, social stressors, and gaps in preventive health.

At Fenom, we believe that every patient deserves to be heard, respected, and cared for with excellence. Supporting Black mothers and families means:
• Listening closely to symptoms and concerns
• Taking pain and warning signs seriously
• Providing evidence-based, culturally competent care
• Expanding access to preventive services and mental health support
• Advocating for safer pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum experiences

We are committed to continuing this work which means learning, improving, and standing alongside our patients and community.

This month, we honor the past, uplift the present, and invest in a more equitable future for women’s health.

✨ Meet the Team Tuesday ✨

Say hello to Kaley Brand — one of the amazing faces behind the care here at Fenom Women’s Care OB/GYN!

Kaley has a younger sister and is a proud dog mom to her gorgeous rescue pup, Lila 🐾. When she’s not at work, you can find her doing Pilates, going on adventures with her boyfriend Zach (they’ve been together 7 years!), or on the hunt for a new hobby.

Fun fact: Kaley is currently applying to medical school with dreams of becoming an OB/GYN! She graduated in May from the University of Arkansas — Woo Pig! 🐗 — was a member of Phi Mu Sorority, and even gives s*xual education talks to sororities at TCU and the University of Arkansas. 👏

We’re so lucky to have Kaley on our Fenom team! 💕

Winter Skincare & Birth Control: What’s the Connection?
If you’ve ever noticed your skin acting differently in the colder months, you’re not imagining it. Your hormones and the dry winter air can team up to cause breakouts, dryness, or sensitivity.

Let’s break it down 👇

Hormonal Birth Control & Skin:
Combination pills (estrogen + progestin) can improve acne by decreasing androgen levels. These are often helpful for patients with PCOS or hormonally driven breakouts.

Progestin-only methods (like the mini pill, Depo shot, or Nexplanon) may increase oil production in some people, which can trigger acne or oilier skin. Everyone responds differently!

Non-Hormonal Options:
Copper IUDs (like Paragard) don’t affect hormone levels and are unlikely to change your skin (for better or worse).

Winter Weather Factors:
Dry indoor heat, cold air, and extra layers can zap your skin’s moisture or trap sweat and bacteria, especially if you’re experiencing hormonal shifts.

Skincare Tips from Your OB/Gyn Team:
✔️ Use non-comedogenic, hydrating moisturizers (look for ceramides or hyaluronic acid)
✔️ Gently exfoliate 1–2x/week if you’re prone to dryness or dull skin
✔️ Avoid harsh scrubs or stripping toners—especially with birth control- related skin shifts
✔️ Don’t forget sunscreen! Even in winter, UV rays can affect sensitive skin
✔️ Keep showers lukewarm, not hot. While a steaming bath feels great in winter, hot water strips your skin’s natural oils, which can worsen dryness caused by hormonal shifts.

If your skin is suddenly changing and you’ve started or switched birth control recently, let’s talk about it. We can help you find a method that supports your whole-body wellness, including your skin.

January is Cervical Cancer Awareness Month. So let's take a minute to highlight the powerful tools we have to prevent cervical cancer.

Nearly all cervical cancer cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV), a common virus that spreads through intimate skin-to-skin contact. The good news? It’s highly preventable.

Here’s what you should know:

🔹 HPV Vaccination Saves Lives
The HPV vaccine is recommended starting at age 9 and up to age 26, with some people up to 45 still eligible based on their risk. It protects against the types of HPV that cause 90% of cervical cancers, according to the CDC and ACOG. It’s a safe, effective vaccine we strongly recommend to patients and their families.

🔹 Regular Pap Smears Are Essential
Pap smears detect abnormal cervical cells early, before they can turn into cancer. ACOG recommends starting Pap screening at age 21 and continuing every 2-3 years. This quick, in-office test is one of the most effective cancer screening tools we have.

🔹 Early Detection = Peace of Mind
Cervical cancer is one of the most preventable cancers with the right tools: vaccination, screening, and follow-up. If you’re due for your Pap, or have questions about your HPV risk, we’re here to guide you.

Prevention is powerful. Let’s take action for ourselves, our daughters, and our communities.
