25 Feb 2013 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Pregnancy, Women's Health Fix review: Hold it Sister website, blog and books We've found you a great website and book worth checking out from Queensland women's health physiotherapist, Mary O'Dwyer. Her experience managing all things women and pelvic floor make for a fun, yet sensitive approach to managing and treating pelvic floor problems such as poor bladder control, sexual pain and pelvic girdle pain. I found the book easy to read. Following her 'exercises' and 'explorations' were, I'd admit, a little confronting, yet very useful and insightful.

25 Feb 2013 BY Katrina Tarrant POSTED IN Pregnancy, Women's Health Baby Brain: Truth or Myth? For those that may know me, I am quite certain that they would agree that I am pretty good at keeping control and good at NOT losing things. However, when pregnant and mum of a small child (twice), I managed to do all but that! Locking myself out of my home, reversing into a car park concrete pillar, locking myself out of work and down on the street in my exercise gear, no shoes and having to walk home! Some 'experts' out there say that baby brain is a myth, unproven by science, but there has to be a reason out there for us mum's list of uncharacteristic behaviours. If this sounds like you too, read on and perhaps learn a few tricks up your sleeve to cope better. http://blog.naturaltherapyforall.com/2012/09/27/busting-myths-on-pregnancy-brain---the-truth-about-pregnesia-and-how-to-deal-with-it/
