the movies kind of messed this one up…

they make is seem as though there’s some magic number or magic time where it’s officially “too late.”

really, it’s “too late” if you can no longer sit still for the procedure.

sitting still can obviously get more difficult as labor progresses, but that is subjective to the birther!

Not what you expected!?

as you scroll and see other people’s journeys…

remember that healing isn’t linear. and it isn’t the same for everyone.

With your body. With your heart. With your partner. With your baby.

You’re all learning, changing, growing, adjusting, & healing.

There’s no schedule or “right way.”

Take a breath, and know it’ll get better.

Like most things, approaching exercise postpartum requires BALANCE!

In the early postpartum phase (prior to 6 weeks), many people can start things like diaphragmatic breathing, pelvic floor and abdominal activation, gentle glute work and postural training!

That said, AFTER 6 weeks, we start slowly with deep core training, proximal hip strengthening and functional work including the breath work and proper motor control.

Going out at without any guidance can feel overwhelming, which is why pelvic floor PT should be standard care for all postpartum folks!

Wondering if it’s right for you? Let’s set up a free 15-minute consultation!

It’s true!

And this isn’t to say that Pitocin is bad. It’s been created for a reason & can be beneficial in many circumstances.

It also has a tendency to be overused without proper education. I always tell me clients that if avoiding an epidural is a major part of their birth vision, avoiding the use of Pitocin might be higher on their priority list.

With Pitocin, your body is no longer calling the shots as to when it’s time to contract, rather the synthetic version oxytocin is doing it for you! It’s reported to be more painful & reduces the breaks or rest time between contractions.

So, again, it’s not bad! Just requires different considerations when approaching your birth goals :)

It’s not extremely well understood in the science…

But we do have evidence that doing some kegels when you have a really strong urge to p*e can reduce the urge for a short period of time, allowing you to slowly and calmly make it to the bathroom!

Be careful not to rush. Not to run. Not to stress.

Take a deep breath and slowly walk.

And remember - avoiding liquids for a fear of p*eing too much is NOT the answer!

most of our holidays today are a little odd...a little skewed...this one included...

but I will take this day to thank you for being here.

to thank our birth workers, midwives, OBs, advocates, pelvic health providers, mental health professionals and so many more who are fighting the good fight for better, more just care for birthers.

I'm so grateful to not be going at this alone.

love you so much.

Last week, I shared about how kegels aren’t always the answer…

Today, you can see some common presentations of pelvic floor dysfunction that doesn’t often require kegels!

Additionally - it’s important to remember that sometimes with these symptoms, you still might be appropriate for kegels *eventually*…meaning that we likely have to down-train *(relax) the pelvic floor to achieve full range of motion before we start strengthening!

Make sense!?

When in florida, post an ocean-themed educational post…right?

Ok, laboring / birthing in water…what’s the deal!?

Some possible benefits of labor in labor are:
~buoyancy can promote more efficient uterine contractions
~buoyancy can encourage improved blood flow
~the water can lower blood pressure
~a warm bath can help slow contractions (which is actually desired in certain cases!)
~warm water can decrease feelings of pain during labor

Those are your fun facts of the day! Back to family time, photo editing, & sunshine for me!
