A difficult or traumatic birth experience can have an impact long after the baby is born. In this episode, Deb sits down with Dr. Kenga Sivarajah, a Consultant Obstetrician with expertise in high-risk obstetrics, maternal medicine, and perinatal mental health, to explore what birth trauma can look like, why it can be difficult to recognize, and what healing can involve. Dr. Sivarajah brings both an obstetric and psychiatric perspective to the conversation, offering a holistic look at the connection between the physical experience of birth, the nervous system, and postpartum mental health. Together, they discuss why parents may feel dismissed when they share a difficult birth experience, how trauma can show up in the weeks and months after birth, and what meaningful postpartum support should look like. They also explore what birth preparation can—and can't—do to help, when psychiatric support may be appropriate, the role of medication and non-medication approaches, and how partners and birth professionals can recognize when someone needs additional care. Most importantly, this conversation reinforces that a healthy baby does not erase the emotional impact of a difficult birth, and that parents deserve support in processing what happened.

Pelvic floor problems affect a huge number of women, yet many suffer in silence, unsure what's normal and what isn't. In this episode, we're joined by Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist and urogynaecology specialist Breffini Anglim O'Regan to break down everything you need to know about pelvic floor health, from prolapse and urinary incontinence to the real impact of pregnancy, childbirth, and ageing. We explore the full range of treatment options, from physiotherapy and pessaries to surgical interventions, including a clear and balanced look at the mesh surgery controversy, what it is, why it was widely used, what went wrong for some women, and why it is still being used in other countries but not in Ireland. We also unpack why leakage is not something women should just “put up with,” the role of vaginal estrogen and why it is often misunderstood, how to know when to seek help, and what questions to ask before considering surgery, with the aim of giving women clear, evidence-based information so they can make informed decisions about their own bodies without fear, stigma, or misinformation.

There is a moment after birth that often goes unseen.The visitors leave. The appointments slow. The world moves on.And a mother is left in the quiet—tending, giving, adjusting—while something within her is still wide open.In this episode, we explore what it means to truly care for a mother in the postpartum window.Not just to ensure her safety, but to honor her experience.Not just to support the baby, but to remain present with the woman herself.We speak honestly about the gaps many mothers feel in modern postpartum care—where clinical success does not always translate into emotional or relational support. And we begin to name what has been missing.This conversation is a remembering.A return to the understanding that postpartum is not simply a recovery period, but a profound threshold—one that asks for rest, warmth, nourishment, and steady presence.Together, we explore:Why safety alone is not enough in postpartum careThe emotional and relational needs of mothers after birthThe postpartum window as a time of deep transformationWhat it means to offer care that is embodied, conscious, and humanHow we can begin to reweave support back into families and communitiesIf you've ever felt that something was missing in your own postpartum experience…If you feel called to support mothers in a deeper, more connected way…If you're longing for work that honors both care and consciousness…This conversation is for you.You are not alone in what you're sensing.—About Kenga:My guest has spent her career inside some of the most high-stakes rooms that the perinatal journey can hold. As Lead for Obstetrics Care at Central Health London and Consultant Obstetrician at King's College Hospital, Dr. Kenga Sivarajah has guided thousands of women and families through both theordinary and the extraordinary passages of pregnancy and birth. Her specialist interests in high-risk obstetrics, maternal medicine, perinatal mental health, and obstetric risk management have shaped not only the care she gives, but the systems she builds. And it is the systems she has built that I find especially moving. Dr. Sivarajah pioneered a joint obstetric-psychiatry service in partnership with South London and Maudsley NHS Trust, bringing together two worlds that so often operate in silos, to hold women with severe mental health conditions in a truly integrated, multi-disciplinary way. That work was nationally recognised with a Royal College of Midwives award. What draws me most deeply to this conversation, though, is something that cannot be measured in awards or patient numbers, but how Dr. Sivarajah speaks about a woman's voice in the room. Whether a mother is weighing the decision around induction, navigating birth after trauma, or trying to make sense of what her body and spirit need in the weeks that follow... Kenga brings a rare and beautiful combination of medical excellence and genuine human advocacy. She does not just see the clinical picture. She sees the person. As Labour Ward Lead at King's, she has held a vantage point on what families truly need in the postpartum window... and she knows, as we know, that it is not only safety. It is dignity. It is participation. It is being seen.Links:Dr Kenga Sivarajah | Consultant in Obstetrics & Maternal Medicinehttps://www.centralhealthlondon.com—Are you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

Whether it's biology, or the traditional, capitalist norm of the mum as a carer and dad as a breadwinner, it's easy to think of fathers as the secondary parent. However, it is scientifically provable that more involved dads create huge value for our kids, and for society as a whole. Jennifer gets more information from Dr Anna Machin, a doctor of evolutionary anthropology, author of the book The Life of Dad: The Making of the Modern Father, and a world-renowned pioneer in the field of fatherhood science. This week a new experimental male contraceptive pill has passed its first human safety trials. So, after decades of hope for an alternative to the traditional female contraceptive pill, are we actually, finally, getting somewhere? Dr Luciano Nardo, a Consultant in Reproductive Medicine & Infertility and Dr Samina Dornan, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist give their take. And as more young people turn to TikTok for news, around 39 per cent of under thirties, according to the latest research, it also found that many of them don't know how to separate fact from fiction online. So, how concerned should we be about the potential for misinformation to be spread as fact? And what does this tell us about the need to train our kids - and ourselves - about how to navigate a new media landscape? Sociologist and senior lecturer in journalism Dr Ruta Vaidya joins Jennifer live in the studio.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
