S1 Ep10 Helen Ledwick: Prolapse, understanding your anatomy and smashing taboos
Description
Since 2018, broadcaster Helen Ledwick has been publicly sharing her experiences of her postnatal prolapse - firstly on Instagram as @whymumsdontjump, and then on the award-nominated podcast Why Mums Don't Jump. On this episode of Mother Bodies, she tells journalist Rosie Taylor her postnatal story, what inspired her to start breaking taboos by speaking out about prolapse and how we could empower women by teaching everyone more information about pelvic floors.
On the Mother Bodies podcast, Rosie is on a mission to find out why postnatal health is still so overlooked and to uncover the biases and inequalities which mean women so often don’t get the care, support or treatment they need after having a baby. She speaks to fascinating guests about their personal stories of recovery after birth, how the politics of postnatal health affects us all - and the big ideas which could change mothers' lives for the better.
