Changed my midwifery practice

What a great find! I had a prolapse after my second child and this podcast has helped me feel like I’m not alone! As a midwife I had some vague idea this could happen after childbirth but I had no idea so many people were affected and so young! It has changed the way I talk to women and birthing people postnatally about the importance of doing their pelvic floor exercises, what to do if they have symptoms and that no leakage is normal despite the adverts out there! I’ll be recommending all the students I work with to listen to it. On the postnatal ward we have such limited time to discuss so much that this had become a passing comment. Now I go into much more detail! Thank you!
Weightlifter and CrossFit mum of two

I was advised by my physio to listen to this podcast after I had a prolapse with my second child. I had entered a deep depression as exercise was my life and I felt I wouldn’t have any way of releasing energy or getting that amazing rush of endorphins after a work out. I began antidepressants and really struggled to feel better. After listening to this podcast, giving my body time to heal, stopping myself from watching Instagram mums exercising one day after giving birth, I slowly got better. I am now weightlifting heavy than before and working out 5-6 hours a week. Things do get better! Stay positive. X

After suffering for many months in silence with prolapse , I came across this podcast and it’s literally changed everything for me, it sounds dramatic but before listening to this I thought my life as I knew it was over!! It’s helped me gain knowledge, get strong and because of Helen snd taking advice from and the experts she interviews i am symptom free ! I have the odd bad day but knowing there are people out there with the same condition ( lots of them ) and tools I can use to help I’m doing ok . Thank you so much for this podcast.
Fabulous podcast

This podcast series is absolutely brilliant. I would never hesitate to recommend it to my clients (I’m a pelvic health physiotherapist). Helen tackles these taboo topics with a warm honesty, and her struggles are so relatable. The experts interviewed provide huge amounts of helpful and practical advice too.
