Episode 159 - Antibiotics, probiotics and your healthy vagina in pregnancy
What an episode! This one had me hooked! Did you realise we have tiny organisms that live on and in every part of our body; collectively it’s called the ‘microbiome’. A healthy microbiome directly links with health benefits in pregnancy for you and the lifetime health of your baby (way more than you think!). This week, microbiome expert Rebecca Edwards from @activatedprobiotics explains how to protect and enhance your microbiome to help keep you (your vagina) and your baby healthy in the long and short term. This episode feels like a fundamental life hack that is relevant not only for pregnancy but for your whole life! This one is for you is you are thinking of pregnancy, pregnant or your babies are already born.
