Written By Aliya Dhalla

In Episode 52 of the Not Your Mother's Pelvic Floor podcast, Aliya chats with Prenatal Fitness Trainer + Birth Doula Gina Conley from MamasteFit all about pregnancy, birth, and postpartum. 

In this episode, you'll hear Gina and Aliya discuss:

  • The influence of Korean customs on Gina's postpartum journeys

  • The huge impact that having family nearby has on postpartum recovery + support

  • How unprepared she felt during her first birth and postpartum experience - and how surprising this was for Gina

  • Gina's thoughts on hospital births, induction, and epidurals and how social media clickbait can be dangerous

  • The importance of collaborative care during birth
