About this episode
Let’s talk about something LOTS of women are nervous about, but few women talk about enough… perineal tearing.
How common is it?
Can you actually prevent it?
What really causes it — and what doesn’t?
Tearing is something I VERY often find my clients feel nervous about going into birth. But it doesn't have to be scary!
So in this episode, I’m breaking down the truth about tearing in birth: the myths, the evidence, and the very practical things you can do during pregnancy and labour to reduce your risk.
Whether you’re planning a natural birth, an epidural, or just want to feel more confident heading into the unknown — this is a must-listen. 💥
