Pregnancy Pain Sucks

Pregnancy support during birth and postpartum, how trauma-informed doula care helps parents feel safe, supported, and prepared. 🟢 Book an Appointment with Dr. Brandie → https://www.drbrandie.com/sanctuary📖 Grab What Your Partner Doesn't Expect When You're Expecting → https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DWDH5WKIn this episode of Pregnancy Pain Sucks, Dr. Brandie Keates sits down with birth worker Melissa Lucchesi of Moon Sage Mama to talk about the emotional realities that many people bring into pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. Drawing from Melissa’s background in trauma work and her years supporting families through birth, the conversation explores why acknowledging past experiences…from previous births to fertility journeys or personal history…can dramatically change how supported and safe someone feels during pregnancy and labor. They also unpack the powerful role doulas play as part of a modern “hired village,” helping both parents navigate the emotional, physical, and practical challenges of bringing a baby into the world. Dr. Brandie Keates is a prenatal chiropractor and sports medicine specialist with over 20 years of clinical experience. She runs Bloom Sanctuary on the Main Line in PA, where she treats pregnancy pain the way sports medicine treats athletes… with precision, respect, and evidence-based care.

I sit down with prenatal and postpartum fitness specialist Kat of KatFit to discuss safe movement, pregnancy pain relief, and rebuilding trust in your body during high-risk pregnancy and postpartum recovery. Kat shares her experience with a complicated pregnancy, bed rest, and postpartum PTSD, and how it shaped her work supporting women through motherhood. Together, we talk about how prenatal fitness can support pain relief, mental health, birth preparation, and postpartum healing — while honoring that every pregnancy is different and requires individualized, safe care.

Pregnancy loss is more common than we talk about — but the grief that follows is often silenced. In this powerful episode, Dr. Brandie sits down with transformation coach Shruti to unpack the emotional impact of miscarriage, late pregnancy loss, and why suppressing grief can show up years later as anxiety, panic attacks, or burnout. If you’ve experienced miscarriage, stillbirth, or pregnancy trauma… this conversation is for you. And if you’re a provider caring for pregnant women, this may change how you support them forever. TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE: The emotional impact of pregnancy loss and how grief can resurface years later Why many women return to work too quickly after miscarriage How suppressed grief can show up as panic attacks or anxiety The stigma around therapy during pregnancy and postpartum What actually helps a grieving mother (hint: presence, not platitudes)   CONNECT WITH DR.

In this episode, Dr. Brandie breaks down why later pregnancies are often more painful, more overwhelming, and far more predictable than most women realize. She explains the mechanical stress, muscular imbalances, and lifestyle patterns that compound over time…especially when you’re caring for other children, sitting for long hours, or trying to “push through” discomfort. This is your reminder: it may be common… but it’s not normal.

Why does your second, third, or fourth pregnancy often feel harder than the first? In this episode, Dr. Brandie explains the mechanical, muscular, and lifestyle reasons this happens—and why it’s far more predictable than most women realize. From the strain of caring for toddlers while pregnant to the reality that unresolved hip, SI joint, and low back issues don’t magically disappear between pregnancies, she breaks down what’s actually happening inside your body.

Pregnancy isn’t just a physical experience…it can shake your identity, your confidence, and your sense of self in ways no one prepares you for. Dr. Brandie sits down with personal trainer and longtime friend Maria Rossi for a deeply honest conversation about pregnancy, depression, self-worth, and rebuilding yourself one small step at a time.

In this episode, Dr. Brandie breaks down one of the most confusing and frustrating experiences women face after their first pregnancy: why the second (or third) one feels so much harder. Using a powerful Titanic analogy, she explains why pregnancy-related damage doesn’t simply “fade with time,” how un-rehabbed pelvic floor and pelvic alignment issues stay dormant for years, and why pain often resurfaces during later pregnancies—or even decades later.

In this episode, Dr. Brandie speaks directly to women who feel blindsided by pregnancy pain—especially the second and third time around. She explains why pain patterns change after your first pregnancy, how an un-rehabbed pelvic floor contributes to unexpected symptoms, and why so many women feel scared and isolated when their body doesn’t “work” the way it did before. This conversation is for the woman who thought she knew what to expect—and is now wondering why no one warned her.

In this episode, Dr. Brandie speaks directly to strong, high-functioning women who are struggling with an unexpected part of pregnancy: surrender. She unpacks why pregnancy forces identity shifts, how overachieving and self-abandonment show up during this season, and why some relationships crack when you can’t be who you used to be. This conversation is for the woman who’s always powered through—and is now learning a different kind of strength.

In this episode, Dr. Brandie digs into a surprisingly overlooked part of pregnancy: setting goals. She explains why intentionality, emotional safety, and advocating for your needs can completely transform your pregnancy and birth experience. This conversation is a powerful reminder that agency, support, and clarity matter just as much as physical preparation.
