Ireland's Birth Stories

EP 43 - Sinead - Grief, 4th Degree Tear, Rectovaginal Fistula, Emergency C-section


Listen Later

In our next episode I chat to Sinead who talks me through her two experiences with birth. Sinead gave birth to her little girl Lily 9 years ago shortly after the sudden loss of her husband, Geoff..Sinead talks us through giving birth with the support of her family and the days following Lily's arrival. Although her medical team were aware she suffered a 4th degree tear it wasn't until later, after a scope that they found the rectovaginal fistula. Essentially, there was a small tear between the rectum and the vagina which caused passing of stool through the vagina. She talks us through her treatment and recovery, which was slow..Sinead is so open in our conversation, again, purely to let others who have suffered through the same diagnosis know they are not alone. .We then touch on Dylan's arrival which although was an emergency C-section, Sinead considered a "walk in the park" in comparison.I have linked Sinead's Instagram account below if you would like to reachout.
