Let's Talk About Pelvic Girdle Pain

Miranda is a mother of three with lived experience of pelvic girdle pain. Miranda was hugely grateful to discover The Pelvic Partnership when pregnant with her first child and suffering from severe pain. She felt isolated at home unable to work in her busy role at M&S. She found huge support from her brilliant chiropractor who has become a lifelong friend. Miranda resumed her career at M&S running projects and commuting. When her second child, was two years old she competed on the first series of The Great British Bake Off and she was pregnant with her third baby when she wrote her first cookbook. Miranda is passionate about the importance of mothers and their wellbeing and how women are seen and treated in pregnancy and in the medical community. She is keen to share her experiences in case they may help others and to support The Pelvic Partnership in any way she can. _________________________________________ THANK YOU so much for listening to our little podcast 🎧 it means the world to us.

Sinead's Story (and many others like it) was the inspiration for the podcast. The differences she experienced between her pregnancies, the support of the pelvic partnership and her subsequent experience is the reason we do what we do. Every experience is entirely unique and there is no one size fits all approach to pelvic girdle pain. But you can hear the difference between Sinead's first and second pregnancies. We are very grateful to her for sharing her experience. This is a repeat story but we wanted to share in this season as it fits perfectly. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/letstalkaboutpgp/message

Co-host Angeline O’Connor reads her winning Essay. In October, last year, Angeline wrote an essay about her experiences of PGP. The essay won the Heather Trickey award (joint with the Pelvic Partnership). This prize encourages work reflecting the contribution and commitment of the late Dr. Heather Trickey to finding common ground in the field of women’s reproductive health and women’s rights. By bringing together those of differing perspectives, it will develop innovative, practical policy solutions to difficult problems. Heather Trickey was an academic, charity worker, Quaker and poet who worked with energy and enthusiasm to find common ground in the fields of women’s reproductive health and women’s rights. You can read more about the Heather Trickey Essay prize here: https://heathertrickeyprize.org/ We hope you enjoy this essay, inspired by Heather's work. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letstalkaboutpgp/message
