🎤 NEW PODCAST!

Pregnancy and childbirth, many of us go through it but there are risks associated with pregnancy and delivery aren’t there?

The women I see in my clinic are still recovering from childbirth 20-30 years down the track.

I had the absolute pleasure to interview Dr Iona Weir last year for a livestream on her product Myregyna for women’s health week last year. See the recording here on you tube - it’s a really good watch!

https://youtu.be/Ldrom1zMzkE?feature=shared

We knew there was much more to say, hence we created this podcast that goes deeper. It will resonate with so many women.

In this episode we cover the back story, why did Dr Iona Weir create Myregyna? What happened in her journey to pregnancy, delivery and the birth trauma that was unexpected and that she felt unprepared for.

This podcast covers prolapse, exercise, mesh surgical repairs, and the things women don't always hear about around pregnancy and childbirth.

We also cover how Myregyna capsules and v***al cream work. To learn more about Myregyna see the website below. Patients can also purchase Myregyna at the Lady Talk Clinic:

Top three takes homes from Dr Iona:

1) Look after your pelvic floor

2) Look after your va**na

3) You don't have to stop having s*x

Hot itchy v***a getting you down?

Check out my latest newsletter full of information about why this commonly occurs in menopause….

But

Although the Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause is a common cause of vulvova**nal concerns, it’s not the only thing to consider.

There’s other reasons for an itchy v***a.

Check out my latest newsletter with a helpful visual!

Yesterday I did something that sparked joy - herbs 🪴!

Gifted a special basil plant from my friend Layne from Harcourts (the most amazing Real Estate Agent you’ll ever meet), my friends pictured Alison and Smitee were equally delighted to receive one too!

With a health goal to eat fresh and keep fueling the protein with a Mediterranean focus this year, I felt inspired.

Off I hopped to the local Palmers store to fill an existing old favourite pot with mint, dill, coriander, parsley and in the middle was the basil, the gift from Layne Hughes from Harcourts.

So now I look out of my dining room ranch slider and fresh herbs shine in the light ☀️ 🪴 ✨.

💡 What steps are you taking to make fresh produce more accessible?

I’m already thinking about lettuces, I’m actually a quiet rocket addict!

🩹 22 years ago today I had a Pfannenstiel incision.

I had planned it.

⏰ Booked for 10am, I was probably nil by mouth even though it was a caesarean epidural lift-out not a general anaesthetic.

💉 The intravenous catheter in the dorsum of my right hand stung but surprisingly the epidural needle went in smoothly as my first epidural was a shocker to insert.

🤰I was told I’d go numb very quickly below the level of the epidural and at the same time I was told I might still feel something as my 38 weeks gestation baby was pulled out, but not to worry they would coach me through the pain.

🤢 Very quickly an intravenous administration of prophylactic antibiotics was injected into the dorsum of my right hand. Immediately I felt nauseous. Promptly I was injected with an antiemetic.

The story goes on in the book but is written with more emotion and more about the why…

🙋Why did I have a Caesarean booked?

🙋Why was this procedure frowned about at the time by other mothers that were my friends and contacts?

🙋Why was there a neonatologist/paediatrician waiting at the end of the table?

🙋Why did I struggle postnatally with this baby?

👯❤️Lady Talk the book is out on Amazon. Be engrossed by topics you can relate to in women’s health that include puberty, pregnancy, birthing, motherhood, perimenopause and so much more….

🤗Fun Fact: 7 layers are incised to get a baby out via c-section. The surgery is deep. I still remember the pain once the morphine epidural had been removed. The raw surgical pain that felt very much like a knife had been used to cut my lower abdomen. Tramadol worked with slow efficiency.

🗓️Today: I am the proud mother of a 22 year old. My scar is still there with a perimenopausal pouch that has developed. There is still some tension in the scar tissue, stiffness and pulling. Does that ever really go (caesarean ladies, what do you think)?
