    6. Doula and author Rebecca Schiller on asking for help

    Doula and author Rebecca Schiller founded the human rights charity Birthrights and wrote the book Your No-Guilt Pregnancy Plan. In this episode, Rebecca revels why she quit her job to become a doula, and why she’s passionate about reminding new mothers that they still matter, and that if they’re struggling, it’s ok to ask for help. Rebecca explains how a doula can support women in the postnatal period, and how much you can expect to pay. She lists some fantastic resources, so please check the links below. She also discusses where to seek help if you feel that your hospital failed you during the birth, or if you need birth trauma support services. She highlights how important it is to say to a postnatal mother “how are you?” and, crucially, to then listen to the answer! As we always say, if you’re not satisfied with your GP, midwife or health visitor, keep going back until you meet someone that will listen to you.

    3. CBT therapist Clare Flaxen on managing postnatal anxiety

    Show notes: Cognitive Behavioral Therapist Clare Flaxen, who runs Resilient Mums, discusses how common it is for postnatal women to experience anxiety. She talks through strategies that can help you calm down and understand your anxiety. Clare highlights how intrusive, distressing thoughts aren’t necessarily true, and we don’t need to give them power. She discusses the “tyranny of positivity” and how it’s not realistic to expect to be happy all the time as a new mother. Clare stresses the need to talk to someone if you’re suffering from postnatal depression, and to repeatedly go back to the GP and get some help if you are worried. She also looks at how having a baby can affect your relationship, and how important it can be to walk in each other’s shoes and try to gain insight into what the other person is experiencing.

    2. Women’s Health Physio Emma Brockwell on pelvic health and exercise

    Emma Brockwell is a fantastic women’s health physio on a mission to help women strengthen their pelvic floor after birth. This is one of the most reassuring episodes, that Abby wishes she’d been able to hear when she had her babies. Emma tells Abby why it’s essential to do pelvic floor exercises to avoid common issues such as prolapse, leaking urine and painful sex. She talks Abby through the exercises and gives some useful tips for women in the very early weeks straight after birth. Emma stresses how important it is to see a GP and ask for a referral to a women’s health physio if you’re experiencing any unusual discharge, perineal pain, low back pain, tummy gap, painful sex or leaking urine. She also warns of the danger of getting back into high impact exercise too early and suggests that women use an organic lubricant to make sex easier after birth, and to take the pressure off and have intercourse only when you’re relaxed and ready.
