The Fine Print: What Every Mom Should Know About Labor and Delivery No Mama Left Behind: The Podcast™️

    • Health & Fitness

In today’s episode,  Dr. Marcy Crouch takes the (pelvic) floor along with Alyson Hempsey to discuss physical birth trauma, why it happens, the use of instruments during deliveries, and tips on how to recover. If you are pregnant, this is some great information for you to take to your provider to prepare you for delivery along with when the use of instruments and intervention might be medically necessary. If you have previously given birth, and especially if you experienced any interventions or instrumental deliveries, you are not alone! We are here to help guide you through recovery.
**Dr. Marcy DOES talk about some scary things during this episode, but just remember Mamas… these conditions are RARE and just because we discuss them does NOT mean they will happen to you! 
Join us every week as they talk all things related to motherhood, pregnancy, the postpartum period, recovery, mental health, vaginas, and everything in between.
