This week, in our season finale (!!!), Dr Suba talks with Miss Christine Ekechi. Christine is a consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist, specialising in early pregnancy and acute gynaecology. She wears many hats and one of them is as co-chair of the race equality task force for the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists.

8. Pelvic Floor Problems with Emma Brockwell
This week Dr Suba talks with Emma Brockwell. Emma is a physio who after her own personal experiences with pelvic floor issues dived into the world of pelvic floor health. She is now a pelvic health physio with a specialist interest in helping those returning to running and exercise post-partum and uses her platform, @physiomumUK, to educate on pelvic floor health.
She tells us about her own journey towards pelvic floor health, teaches us how to 1) avoid constipation, which is KEY, and 2) how to actually do pelvic floor exercises. Along the way we chat about how common incontinence and prolapse is, explore the stigma around it and challenge the idea that there’s nothing to be done about leaks and bulges.
In our short, we get stuck into the pelvic mesh scandal, ask why it took so long for women to be listened to and break down the recent long-awaited ‘First Do No Harm’ report by Baroness Cumberlege.

7. Endometriosis And Chronic Pain with Sarah Sharp
This week Dr Suba talks with Sarah Sharp. Sarah is a chronic illness blogger with a passion for honesty, education and inclusivity. She fights to make the menstrual health community a more open and inclusive place for everyone who needs it through her platform @endo_the_world.
She takes us through her journey with endo, from first realizing that something wasn’t right all the way up to her post-laparoscopy appointment, which was literally on the day we recorded. We learn about how to advocate for yourself, why education is everything and how important community is along the way.
In our short we trash the idea that period pain is something you just have to get on with and find out how women have led the charge with transforming access to information, built support networks and challenged HCPs to do better around chronic pelvic pain.
To be in so much pain that you can’t function is never normal.
