S6 | E59 Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Not the Postpartum Recovery You Expected with Dr. Margo Kwiatkowski

Listen Later

Margo Kwiatkowski had her first child, a boy, in the summer of 2021 and soon after discovered she had pelvic organ prolapse. She has spent the last 6 months sharing her personal experience and professional knowledge about prolapse on Instagram. Prolapse affects a large group of women but can feel taboo to talk about. You’re not alone if you’re experiencing prolapse and there is hope! You can get back to the things you love and you don’t have to lose the activities you used to enjoy. Margo shares hope for all who may be experiencing prolapse and those who are worried they may develop prolapse. 

 

Margo Shares:

  1. How Margo knew something wasn’t right down there
  • Treating prolapse is beyond the specific area, it is the whole person
  • Margo’s personal birth experience and experience as a new mom - how it did/didn’t go to plan
  • Margo “did all the right things” and still ended up with pelvic organ prolapse, she shares how she showed herself grace and how you can too
  • There is hope with prolapse
  • Genetic causes & impacts on prolapse
  • Medical interventions that can help
  • How to rehab and  heal
  • Pregnancy after prolapse
  • What Margo wishes more people knew
  • How to be proactive with prolapse
  • Specific things to do to improve prolapse/what to do if you’re worried about developing prolapse
