Episode 149 - Postpartum Prolapse - And Why We Need to be Talking About It!
In this essential episode, I open up a conversation with Hayley Schoenberg and Dr Margo, where they explain, that far too many women are suffering from postpartum prolapse - in silence.
Despite how common it is, prolapse is rarely discussed during pregnancy, and even less so after birth. Yet it can have a profound physical and emotional impact on a woman's life. It's time to break the silence.
In this episode, we explore:
- What postpartum prolapse actually is
- The symptoms that are too often dismissed or normalised
- Why so many women feel shocked, ashamed, or let down when they discover they have a prolapse
- How the language we use around birth and recovery plays a role in this silence
- Why informed preparation before birth is key to preventing or reducing risk
- What real support looks like - and how we can do better
Whether you're a birth partner, a birth professional, or someone navigating your own postpartum recovery, this episode is for you.
Let’s shine a light on this hidden struggle and advocate for real change in postpartum care.
