A very special moment at The Mum Physio, with Beth and baby Mallory🍼🫶
I first met Amy, after her first child following a 4th degree tear. Amy recovered tremendously well, and became pregnant with her second child. Amy’s biggest fear was tearing again, she was so determined to have a safe and successful vaginal birth.
Myself and Rebecca worked with Amy through her pregnancy to prepare her pelvic floor and body for birth.
On the 14th May, I had a last minute cancellation, and within the hour Amy had booked it, she said something was telling her to come see you. For weeks we had been working on pelvic floor length, control, confidence, strength and perineal massage. When I examined Amy on the 14th, I felt her cervix open, we did some treatment but I knew it wouldn’t be long before she had her baby. I did not tell Amy, as for two reasons I’m not a midwife so therefore not my scope of practice to comment on a dilated cervix, and secondly I didn’t want to make her anxious / nervous…
The next morning I woke up to the most beautiful message from Amy. A picture of Mallory, and the BEST news. The most amazing birth, with a grade 2 tear.
Amy returned for her Mummy MOT check with the beautiful Mallory🥹, and wow, she breezed through it. I’m so proud but in a way sad to say that I will no longer be seeing Amy as often in clinic now as all her hard work and commitment has paid off. And I am SO PROUD OF HER.
Thank you for trusting us Amy, and thank you for letting us be a part of such special journeys in your life💞
This is the proof in the pudding of why you shouldn’t wait until you’re done with all your children, conditions will progress, symptoms will get worse and the recovery will be much harder and longer.
