🚨Bonus Episode Alert!🚨
.
Just when you thought it was over...we are back with a one-off episode in association with iMEDicareUK, sponsor of season 5 of the Why Mums Don’t Jump podcast.
🎧
I’ve been chatting to Vicky Grubb who’s an upholsterer from Hampshire and mum to two boys. Vicky discovered she had stress incontinence when she took up tennis and then running in her mid thirties. But she’s found a new lease of life with the Efemia bladder support, a vaginal pessary designed for stress incontinence.
.
You’ll also hear me catching up with iMEDicare’s founder, Darren Breen, asking what motivated him to start the business 20 years ago, and looking at some more products designed to help you manage your pelvic health symptoms.
💦

🎙️ Pelvic Floor Health Myths, Busted! 🎙️
.
Ever felt lost in a maze of pelvic floor health advice? One minute you’re clueless, and the next you’re deep in a social media spiral of dos and don’ts. Mostly don’ts! 😛
.
In this episode, I’m joined by US-based pelvic health expert and host of the Active Mom Podcast, Dr. Carrie Pagliano (aka Carrie Pagliano Physical Therapy), for a spot of myth-busting.
.
We dive into:
💡 The evolving landscape of pelvic health
💡 How hormones might affect your pelvic floor & whether vaginal oestrogen could help
💡 The million dollar question: to kegel or not to kegel?
.

🎉 Season 5 Finale! 🎉
.
I’m so excited to bring you this very special episode with two trailblazers of pelvic health in sport:
⚽️ Melanie Leupolz, the former Germany international and Chelsea midfielder who returned to top-flight football just months after having her son and…
⚽️ the lovely pelvic health physio Emma Brockwell (aka PhysioMum) who played a crucial role in Melanie’s recovery.
.
We talk about Melanie’s journey from pregnancy through to the World Cup; about the unwavering support she had from former Chelsea manager, Emma Hayes; and about how a focus on women’s health could be game-changing for elite female athletes.

Does anyone else have to hide their hand mirror? 😂
.
🎙️ It’s podcast day! And POP Club is BACK!
.
I met ‘Skye & Jess’ here on Instagram in 2018. We have pelvic organ prolapse and birth injury in common…and we keep each other smiling through thick and thin. At one point I convinced them to speak, anonymously, on the podcast and the rest is history!
.
You can hear us reunite in this week’s (typically chaotic) episode, where there’s frustration over hospital care, nerve damage (pudendal neuralgia) and a missed birth injury. We discuss symptoms - old and new - and Jess makes a new prolapse friend…sort of.

✨ Meet Hayley Schoenberg, this week’s utterly fabulous podcast guest! 🌟
.
Hayley’s from Hull but now lives in Hamburg, Germany, with her wife and 3 year old daughter. She discovered she had a prolapse whilst going through fertility treatment for a second child.
.
It’s something that’s had a big impact on her life, and on her work as a dancer, burlesque performer and hypnobirthing teacher.
.
Hayley tells me about her journey to find the support she needed, about pessaries and how she’s feeling about her second pregnancy. We talk about mindset, pelvic health physio and the German healthcare system. And how to handle yourself when someone gets chippy in a grocery store 😂

One thing I’ve learnt from five seasons of the podcast is that it’s hard to talk about pelvic floor dysfunction without mentioning birth trauma.
.
It’s something that comes up time and again - women who’ve had an experience of childbirth that has knocked them for six.
.
But how often do we really stop and reflect on what happened? And is that something worth considering?
.
Illiyin Morrison is a birth trauma specialist midwife and an independent birth debrief facilitator. She supports women who’ve had a difficult pregnancy, birth or postpartum experience.
.
In this week’s episode we discuss what a birth debrief looks like, who it’s for and why it may - or may not - be a useful tool. We explore how we define trauma, how we begin to pick up the pieces, and how sometimes just feeling heard is enough.

So grateful to listener Erica Macdonald for being her brave and brilliant self in this week’s episode 🎧

I think we can sometimes underestimate what it takes to share these stories on a podcast, but I know how important it is that we do 💪🏻
.
Erica and I talk about birth injury and severe tears - a common cause of bowel incontinence (aka faecal incontinence), her struggle to get the support she needs, and the idea that we can wear our truth as armour👷🏼♀️
