<p>Hypermobility affects EVERYTHING (because connective tissue is EVERYWHERE!), and pregnancy is no exception!</p> <p>Trigger Warning: adverse pregnancy events, pregnancy complications</p> <p>The biggest source of confusion when it comes to hypermobility and pregnancy is how some hypermobile people can have relatively uneventful pregnancies (in fact, some hypermobile people even report finding that pregnancy improves their symptoms in some ways!) whereas others experience serious complications relating to their hypermobility. Suffice to say it’s complicated. I’ve tried my best to share what I consider to be important information, but please do remember that it’s impossible to cover every aspect of a complex topic like pregnancy perfectly in a single episode. As I’m not a pregnancy specialist these are simply my views as an osteopath who works with patients where pregnancy (or plans for future pregnancy) can affect their care and management. </p> <p>In this episode you'll learn👇</p> <ul> <li><p><strong>What an episiotomy is</strong> (and why you need to understand how it can affect your hypermobile body)</p> </li> <li><p>What you might want to <strong>think about pre-conception</strong></p> </li> <li><p>Why we need to normalise<strong> pregnancy prehab!</strong></p> </li> </ul> <p><strong>As always, please remember that all of the information contained within this podcast is for informational purposes ONLY</strong>. Please be sure to speak with your appropriately qualified healthcare provider if you have any concerns❣️</p> <p><strong>SHOWNOTES🤓</strong></p> <p>Today’s episode referenced a lot of research and resources. I have put them here, but please be sure to check my blog at<a href="https://hypermobilityhq.com/blog/"> hypermobilityhq.com</a> for complete citations as well as a text transcript of the episode.</p> <p>If you only have time to read 1 thing. . . </p> <p>Make it this:<a href="https://www.britishjournalofmidwifery.com/content/clinical-practice/a-clinical-update-on-hypermobile-ehlers-danlos-syndrome-during-pregnancy-birth-and-beyond/"> <em>A clinical update on hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome during pregnancy, birth and beyond</em></a>. I promise it’s more exciting than it sounds, and it is the one article I would recommend that EVERY hypermobile person reads.</p> <p><strong>Connect with Me</strong></p> <ul> <li><p>TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@hypermobilityhq">https://www.tiktok.com/@hypermobilityhq</a></p> </li> <li><p>Instagram<a href="https://www.instagram.com/hypermobilityhq/"> https://www.instagram.com/hypermobilityhq/</a></p> </li> </ul> <ul> <li><p>and. . .👇</p> </li> <ul> <li><p>Youtube<a href="https://www.youtube.com/@hypermobilityhq">https://www.youtube.com/@hypermobilityhq</a></p> </li> </ul> </ul> <p><strong>Work with Me</strong></p> <p>If you wish to learn more about my clinical work with both remote and in-person patients, you can visit my website here: https://www.hypermobilityhq.com/</p> <p><strong>Contact Me</strong></p> <p>If you wish to contact me directly, please send an email to [email protected]</p> <p><strong>Join My (Awesome!)
