Little Antz Physical Therapy Prenatal to Pre-K

06/17/2025

🕊️ From Clinic to Birth Space 🕊️⁠
This week, I had the profound honor of supporting a home birth—not as a midwife or doula, but as a pelvic floor physical therapist.⁠
⁠
Being present in the sacred space where new life enters the world reminded me just how intelligent, powerful, and intuitive the birthing body truly is.⁠
⁠
As a PT trained in prenatal and postpartum care, my role was to support positioning, breathwork, pelvic mobility, and soft tissue release as labor progressed. Gentle techniques. Empowered movement. Respect for the body’s cues.⁠
⁠
✨ Every contraction, every breath, every shift had purpose.⁠
⁠
I won’t share details, because this isn’t my story to tell—but I will say:⁠
📣 Pelvic PT has a place in the birth room and after.⁠
And it’s time we made that normal.⁠
⁠
To the birthing person I supported: You are brave, beautiful, and unforgettable.⁠
To those preparing for birth: You deserve a team that sees you, supports you, and protects your power.⁠

🤰🏽Pregnancy is powerful, but pain, pressure, and peeing yourself aren’t the price of motherhood.

👩🏽‍⚕️As a pelvic floor PT, I’m here to help you understand what your body is really trying to tell you and how to support it through pregnancy, birth, and beyond.

Save this post for later, tag a mama to be, and drop a ♥️ if you’ve experienced any of these!

Caring for your C-section scar is more than skin-deep — it’s about whole-body healing. 💛⁣

Here’s what recovery can look like, broken down into 3 phases:⁣

🗓️ Weeks 0–4: Rest & Gentle Awareness
✨ Keep incision clean/dry, no lotions yet
🧘🏽‍♀️ Walk gently within 24–48 hrs
💞 No s*x yet — but intimacy & connection still matter

🗓️ Weeks 5–8: Scar Desensitization + Core Reconnection
✨ Start gentle scar massage (with clearance)
🧘🏽‍♀️ Begin breathwork + deep core activation
💞 Depends on your healing process. Explore other intimate options. If you want to, use l**e, go slow — pain is not normal

🗓️ Weeks 9–12: Strength + Confidence
✨ Keep massaging + check for tightness/numbness
🧘🏽‍♀️ Begin strength work (squats, bridges, heel slides)
💞 Still feel off? A pelvic floor PT can help.

⚠️ Reach out if you’re experiencing:
– Pain, numbness, or pulling at your scar
– Painful s*x or pressure
– Trouble connecting with your pelvic floor or core

Do you or someone you know need additional support while navigating pregnancy, the first weeks of postpartum, or the first two years of parenthood? This group is for anyone who identifies as Black or African-American. There is no definition or level of being "Black enough." Pregnant and postpartum moms with a biological connection to the African diaspora (African Americans, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Latin Americans, Black Canadians, etc.) are welcomed.

Whether you are going through stress, adjustment to parenting, baby blues, pregnancy, or postpartum depression/anxiety, our groups are here for you. You are not alone, and we are here to help.

Join our Black Moms Connect free virtual support group every Tuesday at 8:30 PM EST/5:30 PM PST to feel seen, heard, and to connect with other parents as you share your experiences.
