The Unfiltered Parenthood Podcast

They Said It Would Feel Like a Smear Test. They Lied!

"They Told Me It Would Feel Like a Smear Test." It Didn't. They told me an endometrial biopsy would feel "like a smear test." It didn't. Not even close. In this episode I share my experience of having an endometrial biopsy without adequate pain relief, and why this is STILL routine practice for so many women. I also share stories from others who went through the same thing, and the facts that every woman deserves to know before this procedure. You have the right to ask for pain relief. You have the right to not be dismissed. If you or someone you know is due to have an endometrial biopsy, please share this video. The more women who go in informed, the better. ---------------------------------------- In this episode: 🔹 My personal experience — fertility issues, the referral, and what actually happened in that room 🔹 What an endometrial biopsy actually involves (it's cutting, not scraping — and yes, that matters) 🔹 Cervical shock: what it is and what happened to me after 🔹 Why my TikTok about this went viral 🔹 Why pain relief isn't offered as standard — and the systemic reasons behind it 🔹 The statistics: 1 in 3 women report severe pain during this procedure 🔹 The gender pain gap and why women's pain is chronically underestimated 🔹 Medical gaslighting and chronic illness 🔹 What the NHS actually says about this procedure — and what it leaves out 🔹 The campaigns fighting to change this ---------------------------------------- Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 0:34 Background — Fertility Issues and Pain 1:17 Referral to Gynaecology 1:52 Endometrial Biopsy Suggested 2:59 Day of the Procedure 4:08 The Painful Reality 5:10 Procedure Details — Cutting, Not Scraping 6:23 Extreme Pain During the Procedure 7:49 After the Procedure — Feeling Violated 8:38 Cervical Shock and the Ambulance 9:26 TikTok Video Goes Viral 10:32 Why Pain Relief Isn't Standard 11:50 Addressing Common Comments 14:23 Statistics — 1 in 3 Women Report Severe Pain 15:09 Campaigns Against Painful Procedures 15:53 The Gender Pain Gap — Women vs Men 18:21 Medical Gaslighting and Chronic Illness 21:44 NHS Information on Endometrial Biopsy 23:38 How the Procedure is Actually Done 24:23 Final Thoughts and Call to Action ---------------------------------------- Support the channel: buymeacoffee.com/unfilteredparenthoodpod [http://buymeacoffee.com/unfilteredparenthoodpod] 🔔 Subscribe for more unfiltered, honest content on women's health, parenting, neurodiversity and disability advocacy. ----------------------------------------

Why are fans DEMANDING to see Matthew and Ryan's baby?

Matthew and Ryan from TikTok (Daddies Overnight podcast) recently adopted a baby, and their comment sections are absolutely mental. Fans are demanding to see the child's face, asking for his name, and acting like they're owed something. They're not. This parasocial relationship nonsense needs to stop. These creators don't owe you their child's identity just because you followed their adoption journey. In this video, I'm breaking down why Matthew and Ryan are RIGHT to protect their son's privacy, the dangers of sharenting, and why family vloggers exploiting their kids online is getting out of hand. From celebrity culture to the disturbing reality of who's saving these videos, we need to talk about protecting children online. Whether it's Matthew and Ryan's adoption story or other family vloggers monetising their kids, children deserve privacy and protection. Full stop.

Angel Tree Grifters: When Charity Becomes Content

Let's talk about the Angel Tree grifters flooding social media right now. If you have to film yourself doing charity, are you actually being charitable? Real talk about performative giving, why posting your 'good deeds' is harmful to vulnerable families, and what authentic kindness actually looks like. This isn't about shaming people who want to help, it's about protecting the dignity of families in need and teaching our kids that real kindness doesn't need an audience. #parenting #unfilteredparenthood #mumlife #tiktokmum UK FAIR DEALING DISCLAIMER: Any clips or materials used in this video fall under Fair Dealing for the purposes of commentary, criticism, and review, as set out in the Copyright, Designs & Patents Act 1988.
