Your pelvic floor plays a huge role in birth, but most moms don’t realize how much until they’re in labor (or recovering postpartum). In this episode of The Flourishing Mama Birth Podcast, I’m sharing why prepping your pelvic floor during pregnancy can make labor smoother, pushing more effective, and recovery easier.
We’ll talk about:
- What your pelvic floor actually does during birth
-How tension can make labor longer or more challenging
-Gentle, pregnancy safe ways to prepare your pelvic floor now
-Why “tight” doesn’t always mean “strong”, and what you really want instead
Whether you’re a first time mom or you’ve given birth before, this episode will give you practical tips you can start today to feel more confident and connected to your body before the big day.
