🎥 Founders Unfiltered - Episode 5 Part 1 of 2 🎙️
Oomph - hasn’t this been controversal!
The recent online chatter about health professionals opting for elective c-sections. It has brought all the juice - heart warming support, brutal criticism and everything in between.
It’s been heartening to see so many voices encouraging open, honest discussions about birth choices, but also disheartening to witness the judgement that still surrounds these decisions in 2025.
From a professional and personal perspective, Jess has experienced both ends of the birthing spectrum. Her first birth of a macrosomic baby, large perineal trauma and her fight to secure an elective c-section for her following 2 births.
The maternal choice landscape has changed dramatically since Jess navigated these decisions with some light theoretical and anecdotal evidence surrounding pelvic floor trauma risk and patient advocacy. Fast forward to today, and we’re working within a completely different, evidence-rich, patient-led care environment (well this is what we are working towards)
At Fit 2 Function, we’re passionate advocates for choice, and more importantly, informed choice. Every woman’s birth journey is unique, and understanding your options, your risk and having someone on your team to hold your hand is the most empowering step you can take 🤍
