Motherhood is transformative. While much of the attention often goes to your baby, your own recovery deserves just as much focus, especially when it comes to pelvic health.
That’s why we created Milk and Mummies, a podcast where we keep it real about motherhood, identity and everything in between. In this episode, our host sits down with Kirsty Simpson, Chief Operating Officer of The Mummy MOT® and a highly specialist physiotherapist with more than 15 years of experience. Together, they explore the truth about postnatal care, why pelvic health is so often overlooked, and how The Mummy MOT® is empowering women across the UK.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- The reality of recovery after birth – why no two journeys look the same and why healing doesn’t follow a set timeline.
- Common but rarely discussed symptoms – from pelvic pain and leakage to changes in intimacy, and why these shouldn’t be brushed off as “normal.”
- How The Mummy MOT® helps – what a full postnatal check includes and how it supports women in rebuilding strength and confidence.
- Changing the conversation – why speaking openly about pelvic health makes it easier for more women to get the care they need.
Why You Should Watch
This isn’t just another chat about motherhood. It’s an honest and supportive conversation that could reshape how you approach your own postnatal journey, or how you support the women in your life.
Whether you’re a new mum, a few years down the line, or a practitioner passionate about women’s health, this episode is full of insight, reassurance and practical advice.
