Birth story, prolapse & baby Parker - KICBUMP with Brooke Jowett
Listen now
Description
Brooke Jowett is a Kic trainer and an Australian Survivor All Star. Six months ago she and her partner Chris welcomed their first bub, Parker, into the world and it’s safe to say they’re obsessed. As a trainer, "the Kic HIIT girl", and a keen runner, Brooke ran until she was 26 weeks pregnant when it stopped feeling right for her body. Now she’s back running, taking it one run at a time. Brooke joins Steph to share about her birth story, her bladder prolapse, her gradual return to running, running with a pessary, and the joy that Parker has brought into her life. They also get into the TMI: what was your first poo like after giving birth? Can you feel your pessary when you have sex? Your waters broke where!?
