Getting diagnosed with prolapse can be very daunting to many women who aren't properly educated on the different complications that can happen as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. Prolapse affects 50% of women at some point in their life span. So why is it not talked about? We have so many pre-natal visits yet not one single visit is dedicated to the health of our pelvic floor & core and how they can be impacted during these seasons.
In this episode, I discuss my personal experience with a double prolapse diagnosis (grade 2 cystocele and grade 1 rectocele) and how it impacted my return to fitness.
Spoiler alert: I successfully completed a half-ironman triathlon at 12 months postpartum!
