Dr. Jennifer Lincoln
OBGYN | LACTATION CONSULTANT | AUTHOR | MOM
I believe that for too long too many topics have been considered taboo: Periods. Sex. Hygiene. It’s time for that to change. I am here to demystify sex ed and break down the stigmas – because no one needs to ever feel ashamed about their bodies.
I love educating in a warm, approachable, and evidence-based manner – and in doing so, changing the narrative. I’m thrilled to have you here.
“I believe that you deserve a doctor who is approachable and honest. Someone who takes the time to listen to you and sees you as a person.”

Fun Facts About Me:
I’m an OB Hospitalist
As an OB whose sole focus is caring for pregnant and postpartum people in the hospital, I love getting to focus my practice in this way. I truly enjoy getting to meet my patients at such a meaningful time in their lives!
I’m a lactation consultant
I decided to pursue additional training and become an IBCLC after I had my first child. I love how this has made me a better obstetrician and supporter of my patients.
I’m an author and medical writer
Writing is a creative outlet for me, and combining it with medicine is the icing on the cake. I’ve been writing or reviewing for multiple outlets since 2013. And most importantly, I published my first book in September 2021!
I’m married to medicine
My husband is a Pediatrician in private practice. We were lucky to meet in medical school and got married before we started our residencies. I love being married to someone who gets the long training and crazy hours.
I’m a mom to two young boys
Medical training taught me a lot, but actually having my own kids took it to the next level! When I am creating content geared towards parents, trust that I am channeling my own role as a mom and I see you..
The other stuff!
I love good coffee, good books, and getting outside. Luckily there is no shortage of any of those in Portland, Oregon where I live! I believe in the power of a girls’ night out, a good facial, and date nights.

The Doctor Is In To Take Your Questions!
Dr. Lincoln’s new podcast gives you the chance to call in and ask all your burning questions, no topic off limits.
Note: The podcast is on hiatus currently, but have a listen to past episodes!
Let’s Talk About Down There, shall we? Welcome to the podcast you wish you had in high school, where everyone and quite (c)literally everything is welcome; words like vagina, scrotum, and nipples are embraced with open arms and nothing is considered TMI. Because with board-certified OB-GYN Dr. Jen Lincoln in charge, shame is not on the menu. As a medical professional, social media educator, mother, author, and advocate for reproductive rights, Dr. Jen is officially OVER the stigma surrounding discussions of anatomy and is ready to go (down) there.
Each week, she will get right down to business, answering your burning questions you’ve left her directly via her voicemail. She’s not holding anything back, and neither should you. This is a space to say what needs to be said in order to change the narrative of what’s considered taboo.
So tune in, stay safe, stay empowered and keep talking. Viva la vulva, baby! Be sure to rate, review, and follow because it’s about to go down…there.
