Pregnancy Pain & Birth Prep

Pregnancy places extraordinary demands on your body—comparable to high-level athletic training. Yet most women receive minimal guidance on how to physically prepare for the intensity of labor and delivery. Your OB will help by focusing on preventing or treating complications. Your PT will help you develop strength and flexibility for more effective pushing, shorter labor, reduced risk of injury during the birthing process and much, MUCH more!

At East Nashville Pelvic Health, we believe birth preparation should be just as important as your nursery setup. Dr. Carly provides specialized care to help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and truly prepared for labor and delivery.
