It's time to feel empowered to say “nope I’m not putting up with this sh*t anymore” as obstetrician/gynecologist Dr Mei Cheah joins Dr Preeya to bust all the societal expectations when it comes to period pain, PMS and all the rest.

Friends, it's time for a short break so that we can escape the winter before we get cracking on a bunch more episodes for the rest of the year. I'll be back on 5 August to talk about evidenced based skin care with an actual dermatologist (because we are all about debunking the wonky info that's out there).

(Seriously DO NOT lie about fasting!) And what worries them most when it’s someone they love going

Swelling; bleeding; incontinence; sex after childbirth. Absolutely bloody nothing is off limits when Dr Preeya and pelvic floor physio Mel Layton discuss the realities of the post partum phase.
