Question 2

What to expect during my consultation with Maternityandyou?

Accepted Answer

Your Maternityandyou consultation will include taking a full history, very similar to a first medical consultation. If you are pregnant or have just given birth, this will be similar to a booking appointment. Informed by a holistic vision of the body systems and interactions, paying attention to all aspects of your health, we will go in more depth in your history and motif de consultation.

Following this, we will discuss together your personalized treatment plan which may include midwifery and/or osteopathy and/or acupuncture and/or hypnotherapy to reach your personal goals. The treatments may vary from one consultation to another depending on your response and preference. You will receive guidance throughout this process.

The consultation will lasts approximately 60 mins and will include also a relaxation time to allow, time for yourself with yourself, connecting your body and mind together. You'll be able to ask any further questions in between the consultations during working hours.

Question 3

What does a pelvic health consultation involve?

Accepted Answer

This consultation focuses on your pelvic health to guide you through your pelvic health rehabilitation whether you have symptoms or not. The main symptoms related to pelvic health are urinary, fecal/anal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, dyspareunia (painful sex), vaginismus. These conditions may be present prior to your pregnancy, develop during your pregnancy or after the birth.

During your appointment, we will review your history, give advice on healthy bladder and bowel habits.  The examination could involve examining your tummy as well as your back and hips. I may also need to perform an internal vaginal examination to assess your pelvic floor and the surrounding structures. I understand the assessment and treatment may be outside your comfort zone, but I will work with you to achieve your goals.  
A common question is what if I have my periods?  We can still examine you, but I would totally understand if you were not comfortable, and I can work outside of your pelvis to continue working towards your treatment goals.
