Stop the Pain - Start Here
When you can't reach for your usual relief, a pounding head can feel like a trap. It isn't.
One day you're fine. The next, tension is climbing from your neck and shoulders. Throbbing light and noise unbearable. You're worried about what's safe to do. You're scared.
If you're feeling an ice-pick-like pain behind your eye, tension building from your neck into your head, or pressure across the bridge of your nose, you know this pain well. It's one of the most common, and most dismissed, parts of pregnancy.
Most pregnancy headaches have an identifiable cause. They're not random, and they're not "just hormones." Once you know your pattern, you can treat it, in the right order.
Here's the part no one tells you: headaches don't always leave when your pregnancy ends. Ignore them now and they can become a longer-term problem.

headaches you should wait out without knowing why
You were probably told it's "just pregnancy." It's not. It has a name. It has a pattern. And once you understand it, it doesn't stand a chance.
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH
You didn't expect this.
Nobody warned you. Especially if this is your second pregnancy. The first one was fine. You thought you knew what to expect. And then Peggy showed up out of nowhere and turned everything upside down.
You didn't expect the pain. But honestly? You really didn't expect what came after.
You can't really talk to your best friend about it because she never had it and she doesn't understand why you can't just push through.
Your husband watches you wince getting out of bed and laughs "It can't be that bad."
Your mom tells you "I never had anything like that" and you wonder what's wrong with you.
And your doctor, the one person you trusted to take this seriously, looked you in the eye and said "It's just part of pregnancy."
So you stopped talking about it. You stopped asking for help. And now you're suffering in silence, alone, wondering if maybe they're all right and you're just not handling this well enough.
They're wrong. All of them.
What you're feeling is real. It has a name. It has a cause. And it is not something you should just endure. I've spent nearly 25 years listening to women tell me this exact story. I wrote an entire book about it: What You Don't Expect When You're Expecting. Because no one expects Peggy. And no one expects to be this alone when she shows up.
You are not dramatic. You are not weak. You are not broken. You just haven't had someone believe you yet.
I believe you. And I built this so you'd never have to white-knuckle it alone again.
HERE'S WHAT NOBODY TOLD YOU
A professional athlete would never be told to "Just push through it."
If an athlete walked into a training room with pelvic instability, hip dysfunction, and soft tissue overload, no one would hand her a pamphlet and say "it'll go away after the season." She would get imaging. A protocol. A team. A timeline.
And yet every single day, pregnant women in real pain are told: "It's just pregnancy. It'll go away after delivery."
We would never tell a professional athlete "what do you expect, you're an athlete." And yet we say exactly this to pregnant women. Every single day. That needs to stop.
I spent nearly 25 years learning how to treat professional athletes and applying that same precision to pregnancy. Because the same principles that get an athlete back on the field are the principles that get a pregnant woman back to her life. The right treatment, in the right order, at the right time.
The internet will hand you 47 different stretches from 47 different sources. What it won't give you is the order. The dosing. The timing. The understanding of which phase your body is in and what it actually needs right now.
That's what I built this for.
Your 48-hour turnaround. Then everything you need to keep Peggy out for good.
I condensed my books, my teaching, and nearly 25 years of clinical work into the exact recipe I'd walk you through if you were in my office. Video demonstrations. Visual walkthroughs. Step by step. Because you don't need another book right now. You need someone to show you what to do.

Know Your Villain
Understand her playbook so she can't surprise you
Is it actually Peggy, or one of three conditions that mimic her? Why she showed up. How she operates. Who her accomplices are (Linda Low Back and Sally Sciatica).

This is where you go from reacting to preventing. Pelvic tilts. Adductor release. Psoas release. Stability work. K-tape and belly band application. How to get in and out of your car without triggering a flare.
Every technique on video, every exercise matched to where your body is right now.
Full video demonstrations. Treatment protocol. Gear guide. The complete surveillance toolkit.
Call for Backup
When to bring in reinforcements
What a proper SPD evaluation looks like. What good treatment looks like in the room. How to know if your provider actually understands this.
And how to find a Bloom-trained provider near you who speaks this language and knows exactly what to do.
When-to-call guide. Exactly what to say at your appointment. Bloom provider directory.
Go as fast or slow as you need. It's all here when you're ready.
Every technique in this plan is grounded in published research. European guidelines for pelvic girdle pain. ACOG Committee Opinion #804. Published studies on K-tape, cryotherapy, pelvic belts, and trigger point therapy. Plus nearly 25 years of clinical experience treating this exact condition, every single day.
Help them see what you're going through. Then show them how to help.
Your partner isn't dismissing you on purpose. Your mom isn't trying to minimize what you're feeling. Even your doctor may not have been trained on this. They just don't have the language, the research, or the context to understand what's happening to you.
I know this because I've spent nearly 25 years watching it happen. I wrote three books about it. One for you. One for your doctor's waiting room. One for the partner sleeping next to you who doesn't know what to do. Because the gap isn't love. It's understanding.
This toolkit gives them the ACOG guidelines, the published research, and the exact words so that the next time you say "I'm in pain," the answer isn't "it's normal." The answer is: "This is common. It is not normal. And here's how I can help."
Once the people around you understand the difference between common and normal, everything changes. They stop minimizing. They start showing up. And you stop suffering alone. Because this isn't just about being believed. It's about being helped. Your pregnancy should be savored, and the people who love you want to help you savor it. They just need someone to show them how.

Outsmart Peggy
"My OB said this is normal."
So you're doing what most women do. You're waiting it out. Counting down the weeks. Telling yourself it'll disappear after delivery.
It won't.
What your OB called "normal pregnancy pain" has a name, a mechanism, and a pattern. Peggy doesn't just leave when your baby arrives. She goes quiet. Then she shows up six months later as lower back pain. Core instability. Hip issues you can't explain. You'll spend months chasing symptoms that all trace back to the same untreated problem.
And the Google rabbit hole? That's the other trap. Six months of piecing together stretches from strangers on Instagram, doing exercises in the wrong order, at the wrong phase, making it worse and thinking it's your fault.
The order matters. The timing matters. The phase of your pregnancy matters. The safety of each movement matters.
A professional athlete doesn't Google her rehab protocol. She goes to the best sports medicine provider she can find and follows their plan. You deserve that same standard of care.
For $47 you're getting it. From a Doctor of Chiropractic who pioneered applying sports medicine safely to pregnancy for nearly a quarter century, with the medical background of a former paramedic and a track record of helping thousands of women just like you.
That's less than a co-pay. Why suffer through a pregnancy you could be savoring?
I've been doing this for almost 25 years. And I built this because you deserve better.
I'm Dr. Brandie Elizabeth Keates. Before I was a chiropractor, I was a paramedic. I've delivered babies. I've managed emergencies. That training taught me to stay calm under pressure, spot the nuances that matter, and never dismiss what someone tells me they're feeling.
I spent nearly 25 years treating professional athletes and applying that same sports medicine precision to pregnancy. Because the same injury that sidelines an athlete is the same injury that keeps a pregnant woman from walking, working, and living her life. I know this because it happened to me. The same condition kept me from working during my own pregnancy, and that's when I realized just how debilitating it is and how little help existed.
I've worked with thousands of women with SPD. And I've watched the same story play out over and over. She's in pain. She tells her provider. They say "it's normal." And she believes them. So she waits. She white-knuckles it through the rest of her pregnancy, counting down to delivery, convinced it'll all be over once the baby arrives.
But it doesn't go away. It just changes shape. The pubic pain becomes lower back pain. The instability becomes core weakness. The damage Peggy caused during pregnancy quietly shows up postpartum as something else entirely. And then she spends months chasing a new set of symptoms that started with the same untreated problem.
I wrote What You Don't Expect When You're Expecting in 2018 because no one warns women about this. Not their doctor. Not their mother. Not the pregnancy apps. It usually hits hardest in a second pregnancy, right when she thinks she knows what to expect. And the pain is only half of it. The other half is finding out that no one around her believes it's real.
Then women started showing up postpartum wondering why the pain never left. So I wrote Why Does My Kitty Still Hurt? in 2023. Because Peggy doesn't just disappear after delivery. She goes quiet, and then she comes back as something else. And most recently, What Your Partner Doesn't Expect When Expecting (and How to Help) in 2025, because the person sleeping next to you wants to help. They just have no idea how.
Three books. All on Amazon. Nearly 25 years of clinical practice. Thousands of patients. And I condensed all of it into this. Outsmart Peggy is everything I would walk you through if you were sitting in my office tonight. The same assessment. The same protocol. The same order. Just without the waitlist.
Why wait to heal something that's only getting worse? Why suffer through a pregnancy you could be savoring? You can start tonight.
We would never look at a professional athlete in pain and say "what do you expect, you're an athlete." We would never say "let's wait until your season is over to help you." And yet we say exactly this to pregnant women. Every. Single. Day.
That needs to stop. You deserve answers. You deserve a plan. You deserve someone with the credentials and the experience to make sure what you're doing is safe, effective, and built for your body right now.
Stop suffering. Start savoring your pregnancy.
You didn't expect this pain. You didn't expect to feel so alone in it. You didn't expect the people around you to tell you to just deal with it.
I wrote three books about that. One for you: What You Don't Expect When You're Expecting. One for your doctor's waiting room: Why Does My Kitty Still Hurt? One for the partner who wants to help but doesn't know how. Because after nearly 25 years of treating this, I know the pain is only half the story. The other half is the silence.
It is a big deal. And you deserve better than "just push through it."
Imagine lying down tonight knowing exactly what to do. Not guessing. Not Googling. Not suffering in silence. Just following a clear, safe plan from someone who pioneered applying sports medicine to pregnancy for nearly a quarter century. Someone who teaches other chiropractors how to treat this. Someone OBGYNs trust enough to refer their own patients to. Someone who has the medical training of a former paramedic and has helped thousands of women just like you.
Someone who believes your pregnancy should be savored. Not survived.
