In today's episode our host Mon speak's with Maggie Jackson. After settling in at home post emergency caesarean Maggie found herself being readmitted into hospital 3 & 4 weeks postpartum due to ongoing bleeding commonly described as a secondary PPH. After extensive testing and investigations Maggie was diagnosed with a rare condition called Uterine Arteriovenous Malformation (AVM). It has since been 2 years & at the age of 28 Maggie is currently 3 weeks post op after having a hysterectomy due to ongoing complications. Maggie & Mon discuss the pressures that society places on women to have bigger family's without considering any of the post-partum issues and hope that this episode provides better education and awareness surrounding this topic.
