Pregnancy, birth and postpartum is often a scary time because it comes with so many unknowns, especially when you live in a body that doesn’t always cooperate.
Having evidence based guidance is a game changer. It helps us be better informed so that we can communicate our needs with other providers who may not be as familiar with HSD/hEDS, which allows us to get the care that is necessary to have a successful pregnancy, birth and postpartum experience.
As a hypermobile human with POTS and MCAS who just had a successful pregnancy and birth, I wish I would’ve utilized these guidelines more proactively because it would’ve helped me avoid added stress during an already stressful season of life!
Thank you to and all the other authors for gifting us with these guidelines!
