Second-time (and third-time) mums are often told “don’t lift anything heavy after birth.”
But the reality?
You still have another child who needs you. 🤍
As a prenatal & postnatal professional, I don’t teach avoidance, I teach safe strategies.
Lifting isn’t the problem.
“How” you lift matters.
When you bring your toddler close to your body, you reduce strain on your pelvic floor and healing tissues.
When you inhale to prepare, then exhale as you lift and place, you activate your deep core system. Especially the transverse abdominals (your internal corset).
This breath-led movement helps:
• manage intra-abdominal pressure
• protect the pelvic floor
• support abdominal healing
• reduce strain on scar tissue (yes, including C-section scars)
You deserve tools that meet real life 🌸✨
car seats, toddlers, and all.
