Constipation is a common reason pelvic floor symptoms feel more intense postpartum.
When stool sits in the re**um or when you have to strain, it increases pressure on tissues that are still healing.
But with better hydration, gentle movement, the right toilet position, and relaxed breathing, bowel movements get easier and that pressure on your pelvic floor goes down.
Your comfort matters, and real recovery starts with paying attention to what your body is telling you.
Comment RELIEF and I will send you the Postpartum Constipation Relief Routine Builder so you have a simple, step by step plan to support your healing.
