E + E Podcast Episode 21: Abby Green's Experience With Prolapse
LISTEN TO EPISODE 21
“And it’s so interesting that you guys keep on bringing up this word prolapse, because I had no idea that that was even the word I just knew that I was experiencing these things that I’d never experienced. And I kept on thinking that, Oh, this is just normal pregnancy. Like I just have this really big baby inside of me. No wonder my pelvic floor feels so heavy.”
ABOUT THE EPISODE
This week’s guest might sound familiar to you if you’ve taken any of our runs inside our app. We have Abby Green with us today to talk about her experience with prolapse. Abby is an amazing member of the Expecting and Empowered team and community. She's a mom to three kids. And she's Amy’s co-host on the HERself and Pursuing HER Purpose podcasts.
We wanted to talk about prolapse, because we know it can be really hard for women, when they go through something like this and it isn’t talked about often. Abby experienced it. And now she's open and willing to share her story so that we can hopefully provide some solidarity and solutions if you're experiencing prolapse as well.
Krystle goes into detail on what exactly the different types of prolapse are and how you can even check for it yourself. She explains that there is so much that we can do if we are experiencing discomfort that can get us back to a place where we are much more comfortable. Krystle talks about the importance of strength training and how that can help our pelvic floor support our organs. She even goes into what sex positions can be more comfortable for you depending on the type of prolapse you are experiencing.
We want to thank Abby for being so vulnerable and opening up about what it really looks and feels like to go through prolapse. We are really hoping that we can help some women out there because we know that this is a very tough thing to go through. If you enjoyed listening to this episode, we would love it if you could share it to your Instagram stories and tag us, @expectingandempowered. As we like to say, knowledge is power, and we just really want to give more people the information that they may need on their postpartum journey!
