Episode 351: How Not To Freak Out When You Look At Your Vulva After Birth

In today’s episode, Jessie and Anita talk about what to expect post-vaginal birth when it comes to your vulva. As people with vulvas, we have been conditioned to understand what a “good” vulva or vagina looks like, and things may seem a different – visually and in how it feels – post-vaginal birth. Today’s topic is brought to you by a recent conversation Jessie had with a friend and fellow fitness professional, and is a topic that comes up in Anita’s work daily.
