Roughly 30 percent of birthing people in the US have a c-section or belly birth. Today’s episode isn’t about judging any circumstances or choices that led to that birthing style but to recognize that even though it is a different birth experience, a c-section can still have plenty of implications for your core and pelvic floor. In this episode, I discuss:

• Some complications that can come from c-sections
• Why these problems don’t always show in the data
• How c-section recovery is often treated differently than other major surgery
• The three steps you can take to try and resolve them
