Summer habits your OB-GYN actually wants you to know
Summer can bring more sweat, swimming, travel, and changes in routine, and those little shifts can sometimes lead to irritation or discomfort.
A few simple habits can help support vaginal and urinary health during the warmer months:
Change out of wet swimsuits and sweaty clothes when you can. Choose breathable underwear. Avoid scented soaps, sprays, wipes, and douches. Stay hydrated, especially when traveling or spending time outdoors. Use the restroom regularly rather than holding your urine for long periods.
And most importantly: pay attention to changes.
Your body does not need harsh products to feel clean. Gentle care is best, and if symptoms like itching, burning, odor, unusual discharge, or discomfort persist or return, your OB-GYN can help you figure out what’s going on.
Save this as your summer vaginal health checklist.

💜 High-Risk Pregnancy Awareness Week: Certain conditions can increase the risk of complications during pregnancy, but early screening, close monitoring, and timely treatment can help improve outcomes for both mother and baby. 💜
Today, we're highlighting gestational diabetes, one of the most common complications of pregnancy. Gestational diabetes affects an estimated 6–25% of pregnancies.
Knowing your risk and getting screened on time can help support a healthier pregnancy for both mom and baby.
🔹 All pregnant women should be screened for gestational diabetes between 24–28 weeks of pregnancy.
🔹 Women with risk factors, including obesity, a history of gestational diabetes, or a family history of diabetes, should be screened at their first prenatal visit.
🔹 When healthy eating and physical activity aren't enough to control blood sugar levels, insulin remains the preferred treatment according to ACOG.
🔹 Uncontrolled diabetes during pregnancy is associated with an increased risk of serious complications, including stillbirth.
✨ Early screening and treatment can improve outcomes for both mother and baby.
If you have risk factors for gestational diabetes, talk with your OB-GYN provider about whether early screening is right for you.
