EVERY TWO WEEKS

Hi, my name is Priya, a mum of two and a data journalist. Welcome to The 'Bounceback' Mum - here to bring you the facts on matters that speak to parents. Being a parent is a rollercoaster of challenges and rewards. But let's not sugarcoat it - it can also leave us feeling lost in a world that's undergone a complete transformation. The moment you don that parent badge, everything changes: income, freedom, status - even our rights. This podcast combines two very important aspects of my life: being a parent and factual storytelling. My aim is to bring you the data, research, and expertise on issues that affect us as parents and families. The 'Bounceback' Mum isn't about snapping back to pre-baby life. It's about standing up again, stepping into a self that is more informed, resilient, and equipped for parenthood. Join me in each episode as I explore the data around parenthood. This is The 'Bounceback' Mum - where parenthood becomes your greatest superpower!

Birth Trauma: “The mum is the wrapper. And once the baby is out of the wrapper, we cast it aside.”

This episode issues a trigger warning: Descriptions of difficult birth, death and mistreatment Giving birth can be one of the most painful experiences in a woman’s life, yet the long-term effects of this trauma on millions of new mothers remain largely overlooked. This episode explores the issue of birth trauma and examines how women and families have been systematically failed by the care systems meant to support them. Until recently, birth trauma has been normalized and largely ignored. It took the traumatic birth experience of a member of parliament to bring this issue to light in the very place where law and policy are made in the UK. Remarkably, this was the first time in history that the experiences of women giving birth were discussed in this context. In this episode, we delve into the definition of birth trauma, the widespread impact it has, and ways to better understand it. We speak to Kim Thomas, CEO of Birth trauma Association to learn more about the evidence and what more needs to change. Can we really find a meaningful way to prevent birth trauma for future generations?
