Description

This is a "Let's Chat" story that we hope EVERYONE listens to.Amy tells Dr Pat and Brigid her story of getting pregnant with a history of  endometriosis and ulcerative colitis. We talk about, in practical detail, the supports she put in place to help maintain her mental health.Then the next part of Amy's story is VITAL information for everyone. We dive into a birth complication that is a common fear, a postpartum haemorrhage or PPH. Amy has so much to share about how she felt immediately post birth when after birthing her baby, she knew something was just not right. She talks about what her partner, Chris did to cope when she was separated from newborn George and how she was able to process a stressful time in her birth.We love these 'Let's Chat' episodes with Dr Pat in the room. He helps listeners understand the complexity of what happens when someone has a postpartum haemorrhage so the story Amy tells is complemented with a layer of expertise, experience and evidence that is often missing in pregnancy and birth stories. PPH is not a rare event. With PPH happening in 1-5% of all births, listening to this podcast will give the listener the knowledge and confidence to talk to their provider about how they would manage a PPH so together, as a team, you can make deeply informed decisions about your care.
