About this listen

Part myth, part medicine, the “husband stitch” has long haunted conversations about childbirth and consent. In the first full episode of the Push Podcast, Meghan and Sydney unpack the origins of the term, what the research actually says, and why this story still strikes a nerve today. From perineal repair to power dynamics, they explore how a single stitch became a symbol, and what it reveals about the stories we tell (and don’t tell) in women’s health.
