In Episode 8 of Pregnancy Uncut, Ellie bravely shared her open and honest story of her third degree tear and post-partum incontinence. After listening to this episode we knew there was so much in this topic to explore further. Birth injuries are truely one of the hidden aspects of pregnancy and birth. Women's bodies are incredible, and most people have a beautiful birth and recover well. However for a small minority of women, an unexpected birth injury may result in complications that are devastating and long lasting. Knowledge is power. If we continue to keep birth trauma, sphincter injuries, incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse in the dark, then women who experience these complications will continue to feel blind-sided, and completely alone in their experience. Let's shine a light on this topic that has been taboo for too long. In this Bonus episode of Pregnancy Uncut, Obstetrician Kara chats with Dr Alex and expert women's health Physio Kath about what these birth injuries really mean, how we can help prevent them, and the pathways to recovery.
