Mother Bodies

Carina White, cultural commentator and co-host of Black Mums Up Front, talks to journalist Rosie Taylor about everything from how institutional racism affects black mothers during and after childbirth, to forgetting to wash your kid's PE kit. She also shares her personal story of postnatal incontinence and the treatment that has changed her life.

You can listen to Black Mums Up Front here and follow the podcast on Instagram @blackmumsupfront. Carina is on Instagram @_carinawh and Twitter @_CarinaWh.

The medication Carina is now taking is called Solifenacin. The NHS advice page on the treatment is here. Please speak to a medical professional if you have any concerns about your health or how much you're going to the toilet.

On the Mother Bodies podcast, Rosie is on a mission to find out why postnatal health is still so overlooked and to uncover the biases and inequalities which mean women so often don’t get the care, support or treatment they need after having a baby. She speaks to fascinating guests about their personal stories of recovery after birth, how the politics of postnatal health affects us all - and the big ideas which could change mothers' lives for the better.
