  • Summary

  • 'Breaking the Taboo' is my new podcast on women’s health. In series one, I’ll be looking at the issue of birth trauma by speaking to affected mothers, families, healthcare professionals and campaigners for practical advice. Like many women - my daughter's birth was not straightforward and this led me to chairing the UK Birth Trauma Inquiry as an MP in Parliament. So listen in and let’s break the taboo!

    This week our host Theo is joined by Jo Fordyce, a specialist pelvic health physiotherapist, and Alice Johnstone, the postnatal pilates coach.
