In this episode of Pregnancy Pain Sucks, Dr. Brandie Keates sits down with Alyssa Roe, mom of four and her strategic assistant, for a raw, real conversation about what pregnancy actually feels like when things don’t go as expected.

Alyssa shares her experience with early-onset sciatica, severe pelvic pain, and feeling dismissed by providers who told her it was “normal.” Without proper guidance or referrals, she navigated multiple pregnancies believing the pain was her fault, while juggling work, expectations, and the mental toll of not feeling heard.

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.
