PAO Stories

PAO mums share their journeys of pain, resilience, and recovery.

09 September is Pregnancy Associated Osteoporosis Awareness Day

09/09 recognises the nine months of pregnancy and the nine months of maternity, reflecting the unique circumstances that give rise to this rare type of osteoporosis.

This video highlights just a few of the stories that have united the many mums behind the work of Pregnancy Osteoporosis UK. The organisation often sums up its experience with the phrase “broken but unbreakable.”

Today, some mums are newly diagnosed and in the early, agonising stages of recovery, while others are years - or even decades - beyond their initial diagnosis, having found ways to manage and thrive despite the challenges PAO often presents.
