Pregnancy and Hypermobility: The Must-Know hEDS/HSD Pregnancy Guidelines with Dr. Sally Pezaro

Pregnant with hEDS or HSD (or thinking about it for future)? In this episode, I’m joined by midwife and professor Dr. Sally Pezaro to talk through what hypermobile people REALLY need to know about pregnancy and birth.

We break down👇

• Sally’s 3 key recommendations for anyone pregnant with hEDS/HSD
• how to share the guidelines with your doctor or midwife to improve your care and advocate for yourself
• why collaborative, person-centred maternity care matters so much for hypermobile people
• everything you’ve wanted to know about C-sections, vaginal birth, IVF, epidurals, tears, and more (and what we can say from research so far about how these affect people with hEDS/HSD)

This is a practical, compassionate conversation for patients, clinicians, and birth partners alike.

THANK YOU for watching, and remember: incurable does not mean untreatable! ❣️
