Birth Injury Support and Healing

Hi, my name is Lydia Rose Dolan and I am the new mother to a beautiful baby boy, Carmine Munro, wife to my husband Conor, mother to a 20 month old baby Goldie, and stepmother to 11 year old Suvi.
I’m a sexual health and wellness entrepreneur and i have a small business dedicated to empowering women’s sexual self care using herbs, breath work, and magic called wild + vibrant sexual ecology. 
My family lives happily in Minneapolis, MN. I believe in Love, the beauty of the earth, and in wellness deeply. 

What happened 

On May 6th, I delivered my beautiful baby boy, Carmine, at home with the help of two amazing Midwives who I believe saved his life. During an empowering labor, I started to have extreme pubic bone pain and started pushing my baby out in a birth tub. We had a shoulder dystocia, and my baby’s shoulder was stuck behind my pubic bone. 
With assistance from my midwives, he was delivered healthfully and happily. He ended up being 11 pounds, 12 oz! A big healthy boy. 


Unfortunately in the process of delivery, because of his size and his shoulder getting stuck, I suffered a complication with my pubic bone, and am now relearning how to walk and heal this injury. 
I have debilitating pain and I trust this will improve but not without help and treatment. I’ve been on bed rest with more movement everyday but need help to heal. It seems my Pubis Symphysis has separated in an extreme birth injury. 

How you can help 

I am the primary earner for my family, and my husband is home with me right now taking full time care of me on bed rest and taking care full time of my toddler and my newborn. 


Since I am unable to work or walk freely yet, we are asking for donations to help me get treatments in my home of chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy, and/or bodywork, and other healing modalities to stabilize my pelvis so I can get back on my feet and be the mama, herbalist, wife, and sexual health entrepreneur that I am. We are also asking for donations to help our family live while I heal. Because I am unable to go downstairs yet or get in a car to go to a physical therapy appointment, I know I need treatment immediately to bring more functionality and alignment into my legs and pelvis. 
As I research this condition more, I don’t see a lot of conventional options besides surgery, wheelchairs, or pain medication indefinitely, and I know how powerful the body is to heal. It is disappointing that the conventional medical community doesn’t know how to treat this condition or women postpartum. I know there is more to this instead of masking the symptoms with pain meds. I know if I have some treatments here at home with professionals who specialize in this condition, I could get well enough to move normally again, get out of the house, and have a full life of dancing, cooking beautiful Foods, harvesting herbs, and taking care of my babies and family with joy again. 

That is what your donation can do. Support this heart centered, artistic, earth loving family towards a normal life again, and support me to be back to a thriving business, body, and mama self. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
