Life after the birth of baby is never really the same, & with good reason, as your focus is on the health & wellbeing of the little human you’ve created & have just brought into the world.
Following the initial 6-8 week post birth period, many mums want to get & about with adapting their lives to a new normal.
As part of this new normal, you have to adapt your lifestyle to the changes your body has undergone. One major change is to your pelvic floor, which is what we are here to discuss today.
To do so, we speak with Taryn Watson, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who has a Masters Degree in Women’s Health Physiotherapy & the Owner & Founder of FitRight Physio.
We ask Taryn questions including:
- How is the pelvic floor affected by pregnancy?
- How is the pelvic floor affected by vaginal birth versus caesarean birth?
- Why should we start pelvic floor exercises before & during pregnancy?
- How do you know if you are doing pelvic floor exercise correctly?
- What makes women prone to pelvic floor dysfunction during pregnancy?
- Why should pelvic floor injuries be treated the same as sporting injuries?
- What can we do to prepare our pelvic floor muscles for delivery?
