After a Traumatic Vaginal Birth Two Years Ago, I Live with Bladder Leakage
This educational resource was sponsored by Poise, a brand of Kimberly-Clark. As told to Nicole Audrey Spector I’m small in stature. But you wouldn’t guess that I’m a petite woman if you went only by my sneeze, the sound of which resembles the war cry of a goose. And observers don’t get to hear just one sneeze. They’re met with at least a few — one after the other. A proper gaggle. My mom has the same loud sneeze, and Healthy

How Collective Trauma Impacts Your Life (And How to Cope)
The Great Depression and the COVID-19 Pandemic are the first things that come to my mind when I think about collective trauma. Each of these events (and more throughout centuries and decades) has left a mark on us and our past generations. Whether through natural disasters, social unrest, or violence/hate crimes – these shared experiences have left an impact on our lives that’s hard to shake off. When we talk about trauma, words like accident, assault, and near-death experiences come calmsage

What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?
The pelvic floor is the unsung hero of the lower body. Think of it like an upside down umbrella of muscle and tissue that keeps important organs — including your bladder and bowels — where they should be. If that wasn’t cool enough, pelvic floor muscles also help you achieve orgasm and help control bodily functions like when you pee or poop. Pelvic floor muscles are like other muscles in your body in the way that they can get weaker Healthy

Postpartum Hemorrhage Is a Deadly Problem
Kim Ledgerwood felt her eyelids getting heavy. “I’ll just shut my eyes for a moment,” she thought. She’d just given birth. What’s one, tiny second? She wouldn’t miss a thing. Then a sharp sting across her face brought her back to the delivery room. “You have to stay awake, Kim!” Her OB-GYN was loud and shaking her shoulders following the slap. “Stay with us!” Ledgerwood had just given birth to a healthy baby boy, but now she was hemorrhaging.

Kids Can Drink Mocktails — But Should They? Here’s What a Pediatrician Says
I first had a mocktail while pregnant with my now 2-year-old son. I figured, if I couldn’t have a drink while out with friends, I’d give this alcohol-free look-a-like a shot. As my belly grew, I started to get looks from people who couldn’t tell my drink did not contain alcohol. I imagine I’m not alone in getting these looks, but it’s a different demographic altogether that has people raising eyebrows by ordering mocktails these days: children. Where I live shek

Bladder Leakage Can Feel Like a Full-Time Job, but I Know I’m Not Alone
As told to Jacquelyne Froeber A few years ago, I was at home when I had the urge to pee. I made my way to the bathroom, but about halfway there, I started to go. I picked up the pace but some of the pee didn’t make it into the bowl. I was surprised — and thankful I was home! I chuckled and brushed it off. I must’ve waited longer than I thought to go. But I also felt uneasy. Healthy

After Years of Living with Postpartum Bladder Leakage, I Was Able to Successfully Treat It
As told to Nicole Audrey Spector After giving birth, vaginally, to my first child, I experienced bladder leakage. It happens, I was told by my medical team. It would likely go away. And it did. But after the birth (also vaginal) of my second child, the bladder leakage came again. Only this time, it didn’t go away. At first, I wasn’t concerned because I’d been told that postpartum bladder leakage is a common experience. But this just wouldn’t stop, and, Healthy

The Intersection of Heart Disease, Diabetes and Stroke
Debora Grandison, a 63-year-old author in St. Louis, MO, first learned that she had issues with her heart in 1988 when she went into preterm labor. The labor stopped but the medications she needed caused complications, leading to a few weeks in intensive care where she was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse and gestational diabetes. Grandison’s blood glucose went back to normal after she delivered her son, but her heart palpitations continued. Three years later, Grandison went to her doctor Healthy

New Study Looks at Experiences of Black Psychologists and Counselors
A new study published in the Journal of Psychological Trauma Theory Research Practice and Policy looked at burnout, racial trauma, and protective experiences of Black psychologists and counselors. “We studied Black mental health professionals who worked with Black clients who were dealing with racial trauma,” study author Eric M. Brown told us. “We were hoping to discover how the work of healing racial trauma may affect the Black therapists themselves, given that they would be hearing stories of racism that theravive
