Your pelvic floor doesn’t need punishment for enjoying Christmas 🎄

These small changes can make a BIG difference, especially if you’ve ever had leaks, pain or heaviness 🩷

I’m not afraid to admit… that I haven’t been compliant with my pelvic floor exercises 🤦🏼‍♀️

Getting out of bed after a c-section can be hard 😅 so make sure you take that pain medication when it’s due to make movement possible 🫶

A snapshot of my postpartum consult today with Amy 🫶

Your body (and your pelvic floor) deserve time to rest💗

Tried and tested ways to achieve rest when you have a toddler (from our community):
✨ Lean on your village to help you have toddler free moments (partner/family/friends/daycare)
✨ Have activities that your toddler could do in bed next to you
✨ Use technology to your advantage during rest times
✨ Set up activities/games where you can lie down to play

The juggle of postpartum rest and recovery with older children is hard, any time you can find to lie down is a win 🥰

Let’s talk about elective caesarean births✨🫶💛

I am so passionate about this topic. And wanted to highlight how we support better births.

Earlier this year, I attended the Birth Better Conference in Sydney, where one key theme was: 👉 How do we improve the birthing experience for all people?
A big part of that conversation was about:
➖ Recognising individual risk factors ➖ Respecting personal preferences ➖ Providing evidence-based information ➖ Empowering birthing people to make informed choices that feel right for them
Because when people are supported with facts and compassion, not judgment, they feel confident in their version of an ideal birth. 💛

🌸 Let’s Talk About Vaginal Pessaries 🌸 
Did you know a va**nal pessary can be a safe, non-surgical option for pelvic organ prolapse?

A pessary is a small, soft device inserted into the va**na to help support the bladder, uterus, or re**um when these organs begin to shift out of place, often due to childbirth, ageing or heavy lifting over time. Think of a pessary as your ‘brace’ or ‘sports bra’ for your pelvic organs!

✨ Benefits of a pessary: ✔️ Non-invasive ✔️ Can relieve pressure, discomfort, and urinary issues
✔️ Can be self-managed  ✔️ Safe for long-term use with proper care ✔️ Ideal for those who wish to avoid or delay surgery

It’s fitted by a healthcare professional (generally a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist or Specialist e.g. Gynaecologist or Urogynaecologist) and customised for comfort and support. Many women find it life-changing! 💪💕

If you’re experiencing symptoms like pressure, bulging or leaking, talk to your doctor. You’re not alone and you have options. 💬

🌟You Can Keep Moving During Pregnancy🌟
Here’s how to modify with confidence!🤰🏼💪

Pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to stop exercising, it just means moving smarter. With the right modifications, staying active is not only safe, but incredibly beneficial for both you and baby💛

Top Exercise Modification Tips for Pregnancy:

🔸 Listen to your body Your energy, balance and comfort may change day to day and that’s okay! Take breaks, hydrate and don’t push through pain or dizziness.

🔸 Ditch the “No Pain, No Gain” mentality Exercise should leave you feeling energised, not depleted. Modify intensity based on how you feel, not how you used to perform.

🔸 Core awareness is key Continue core exercises to maintain your abdominal strength to support your changing abdomen and prevent diastasis recti.

🔸 Focus on posture & pelvic floor Engage your pelvic floor (like gentle pelvic floor exercises) and keep your spine neutral, especially during lifting (e.g your toddler) or strength work.

🔸 Modify high-impact or supine exercises After the first trimester, avoid prolonged lying on your back and consider low-impact alternatives to jumping or sprinting. Always listen to your body!

🔸 Use props & supports Chairs, resistance bands, blocks or walls can be your best workout buddies right now!

👟Remember: Movement is about feeling strong, capable, and connected. Pregnancy is about maintaining movement not hitting personal bests.

Growing a human and staying active can be challenging. Do what feels right for you🔥💖

🩷Your Round Ligament extends from the lateral (side) of your uterus to your l***a majora. Its main role is to support your growing uterus in pregnancy and help hold your uterus in a centered position🩷

Your Round Ligament can stretch/spasm in response to sudden movements or change in direction during pregnancy.

My top self management tips if you are suffering from Round Ligament Pain:
✔️Move slowly
✔️Do 5-10 posterior pelvic tilts (rock your pelvis backwards so you draw your p***c bone up towards your belly button)
✔️Brace your abdominal muscles during movement
✔️Wear abdominal support such as Tubigrip (link in our BIO to purchase)

If you are experiencing any pain/discomfort around your pelvis during pregnancy you may benefit from an individualised assessment and treatment plan ❤️
