Are vaginal examinations necessary? Inverted nipples. Declining libido with breastfeeding. Placental function. Breastfeeding whilst pregnant. Plus more! Your questions answered #3

In this episode, we answer your questions! We take a dive into,
inverted nipples and what you can do during pregnancy and with
breastfeeding. Answer whether vaginal examinations are necessary
during pregnancy, why milk teeth are called milk teeth, look into
informed non-consent in the hospital setting, and discuss
declining interventions during labour & birth. We delve into
the ethics and copyright of how to share information. Whether you
can or should breastfeed whilst pregnant, how placental function
is checked on an ultrasound scan, and more on placenta previa. As
well as also squeezing in why some women experience lower libido
and vaginal dryness whilst breastfeeding and the KICO - knees in,
calves out birthing position.


Phew! That was a lot and we hope you enjoy it.
