S2 Ep8: S2, Ep 8: Pelvic Girdle Pain Pregnancy - What You Need to Know

Season 2 · Episode 8

Monday, October 17, 2022 • Duration 01:04:31

In today’s episode of Bun in the Oven Hollie is joined by the wonderful, knowledgeable, and passionate Dr Sinéad Dufour to talk all about pelvic girdle pain pregnancy. Pelvic Girdle Pain (or PGP) can be misdiagnosed, misunderstood, and left untreated, but it doesn’t need to be that way. Sinéad has worked tirelessly to help raise awareness of the evidence around PGP and is leading the way in how we think about PGP.

In this episode Hollie and Sinéad discuss:
► What pelvic girdle pain actually is
► How we might treat pelvic girdle pain
► Why treatment for pelvic girdle pain will vary for each individual
► How physical activity can benefit pelvic girdle pain
► What to do if you think you might be suffering with pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy

I hope you find this episode useful if you are sugaring with pregnancy related pelvic girdle pain and it helps more women get the support and treatment they so deserve.

S2 Ep7: S2, Ep7 - How to Look After Your Pelvic Floor During and After Pregnancy

Season 2 · Episode 7

Monday, October 10, 2022 • Duration 56:07

In today’s episode of Bun In The Oven Hollie is joined by her absolute favourite pelvic health physiotherapist, and all round superwoman, Emma Brockwell. In this episode Hollie and Emma discuss how to look after your pelvic floor before and after pregnancy.

At time of recording Hollie was 22 weeks pregnant and was actively trying to stay on top of her pelvic floor training this time around. Hollie struggled with stress incontinence during her first pregnancy and found it a real shock. She had spent her life telling women to do their pelvic floor exercises yet hadn’t in any way prioritised it herself. So, one day, when she was sat in a café waiting for a meeting she sneezed and leaked. Sadly this is pretty common, but the good news is that there’s a lot we can do to prevent it.

So in today’s episode Emma and Hollie discuss:

► How you can look after your pelvic floor before and after pregnancy
► What exactly the pelvic floor is
► What happens to the pelvic floor during pregnancy and labour
► How we can boost the health and tone of our pelvic floor during and after pregnancy
► What prolapse is and how to manage it
► When to seek help from a professional.

Emma and Hollie have worked together in various capacities for many years. She is a passionate pelvic health physiotherapist, author of the book Why Did No-One Tell Me, co-host of the fantastic podcast At Your Cervix, sits on the scientific clinical advisory board of the Active Pregnancy Foundation, and is a passionate runner (and a mother too).

This episode is ideal for you if you are currently pregnant, work with pregnant people, are recently postnatal or are worried you may be suffering with some level of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor dysfunction is a topic that is far less taboo than it has been previously, with social media and female tech brands helping to raise awareness of the issue, but there are still people out there nervous to ask for help. We hope this episode helps you better understand such an important part of your body, and helps you seek help if you need it! Emma is a specialist Pelvic health physiotherapist focusing on problems related to the pelvic floor and pelvis. These include incontinence, bladder and bowel dysfunctions, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, constipation, painful intercourse as well as aches and pains during pregnancy. She specializes in helping post-natal women return to running and exercise, in addition to leading a popular running group and helping women meet their running objectives. She has co- authored published returning to running postnatal guidelines for medical, health and fitness professionals. She is passionate about treating all women with the highest level of care.

S1 Ep6: S1, Ep 6 - Pregnancy and Parenting in a Lesbian Relationship

Season 1 · Episode 6

Monday, November 29, 2021 • Duration 01:14:08

In this week’s episode we’ll be talking about the experience of being pregnant and a parent, within a lesbian relationship. My guests are the wonderful Kate Everall and Charlotte Ulett.

In this episode Kate and Charlotte highlight the challenges faced when trying to become pregnant in a lesbian relationship, including the financial demands that come through IUI and IVF costs, the support they received from friends and colleagues, and the language used around partners of those who chose to carry the baby.

There are some really small considerations that can be made by anyone working in the birthing world when working with same sex couples, that can help both parents feel included, and I loved hearing them. It was such a joy to hear both Kate and Charlottes experiences and I hope that one day same sex couples who wish to grow their family get the support they need much quicker. I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this week’s episode I’ll be talking to founder and CEO of Welltodo Lauren Armes about the realities of being pregnant when you are self-employed or a business owner, including navigating mat leave, and working out how on earth to replace yourself in your own business.

Lauren and I discuss the concerns, considerations and logistics of having children when you already have another baby – your own business. At the time of recording this episode Lauren is pregnant with her first child, so is in full on preparation mode, and I’m over 2 years deep in the juggle having a toddler myself.

S1 Ep4: S1, Ep 4 - The Reality of Pregnancy with Twins

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, November 15, 2021 • Duration 01:21:40

In this episode I’m talking to fitness expert and twin mum Brit Williams, and Birth and postpartum doula Lala Langtry White about the experience of being pregnant with twins or multiples.

Lala and Brit share the emotional challenges that can come with the initial realisation you are pregnant with multiples, the numerous (often well-meaning) comments from strangers around multiple pregnancies, and the high-risk diagnosis and care you then receive. I love the honesty both women have around the shock and awe of multiple pregnancies, that then turns into the absolute joy of having them earthside.

S1 Ep3: S1, Ep 3 - Endometriosis and Me

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, November 8, 2021 • Duration 01:07:14

In this week’s episode I’m talking to Professor of Gynaecology Andrew Horne, and one of my favourite people Louise Abdalla all about Endometriosis, its symptoms, and its effect on fertility. Please note that we do also discuss miscarriage in this episode.

In this episode we talk about the symptoms and signs of Endometriosis and the effects it can have on a woman’s everyday life, and their desire to have children. Andrew shares the clinical elements of the condition so perfectly and shares his advice for those suffering whilst Louise gives us an insight into living with the condition. Louise’s honesty, and Andrew’s knowledge, will help so many women push for a diagnosis I’m sure (as it currently takes on average 7 years to be diagnosed).

S1 Ep2: S1, Ep 2 - Being Pregnant in a Bigger Body

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, November 1, 2021 • Duration 01:01:46

In this week’s episode I’m talking to fat-positive fertility coach Nicola Salmon and founder of the non-profit website Big Birthas Amber Marshall about what it’s like to experience pregnancy in a bigger body.

In this episode we’ll be discussing the experiences of those in bigger bodies, from trying to conceive, through their pregnancy journey, and to their labour options and beyond. Amber and Nicola have spent years researching, and sharing their findings, surrounding fertility and pregnancy for those with a higher BMI, and this was a fascinating episode.

Pregnancies associated with a higher BMI are often classified as high-risk, and with this label can come a lot of anxiety and shame. Weight stigma has been shown to have negative impacts on the health of an individual in a bigger body, so there’s no wonder it can affect how someone experiences pregnancy – a time that should be positive and exciting.

Nicola and Amber try to break down some of the information, and advice, given to pregnant women in bigger bodies, and help show that you can have a positive pregnancy experience, no matter your size.

I hope you enjoy what they have to say and can use what you learn to support others or yourself.

S1 Ep1: S1, Ep 1 - The Realities of Egg Donation

Season 1 · Episode 1

Sunday, October 24, 2021 • Duration 01:15:11

In this first-ever episode of Bun in the Oven I’m talking to Senior Consultant in Reproductive Medicine Dr Meenakshi Choudhary and the wonderfully honest Sophie Johnston about egg donation, and the logistics both practically and emotionally.

I’ll be honest I couldn’t believe my luck when Meenakshi agreed to take part in the podcast as she is an incredible incredible, important, woman.

In this episode we’ll be talking all about egg donation and how it works, how eggs are in short supply in the UK, and the logistics of using a donor egg. Donating your eggs, to help others become pregnant, is one of the most selfless things a woman can do and it blows my mind at the science that goes on behind the scenes here. You may need some tissues for this episode.

Man meets woman, man marries woman, man has sex with woman, woman gets pregnant: this is the story we so often hear about how children are made, but this is just not the reality for everyone.

👶🏼Bun in the Oven is a podcast that explores the myriad of challenges and routes to becoming and being a parent. It will dive into the many different ways children are brought into this world, and what parenting really involves.

♥️ Hosted by myself @thepilatespt I hope you find this podcast a huge source of support, and that it helps open all our minds.
