The Follow-Up: Pelvic Floor Care After Baby
If you’ve ever brushed off leaking when you laugh, pain during sex, or lingering constipation as “just part of being a mom,” this episode is your permission slip to stop normalizing what’s treatable.
I’m joined by a pelvic floor physical therapist who breaks down why your pelvic floor deserves attention—not just after vaginal birth, but after any pregnancy. We talk about how these muscles are essential to everyday life: from pooping and peeing to core strength, intimacy, and even your mental health.
You’ll learn:
Why peeing a little when you sneeze isn’t something to just “deal with”
The truth about C-sections and pelvic floor dysfunction
How scar tissue can impact your recovery—and what to do about it
Simple tricks to improve pooping and peeing posture (yes, even your toddler can benefit!)
Why lifting while holding your breath can be sneaky pelvic floor sabotage
What “power peeing” is—and why you should stop doing it
Whether you’re newly postpartum or years into motherhood, it’s never too late to prioritize this part of your health. This conversation is all about demystifying pelvic floor therapy and empowering you with proactive, shame-free strategies to feel better in your body.
💛 Know better, do better—and let’s break the silence around postpartum recovery.

Floored: A Woman's Guide To Pelvic Floor Health At Every Age And Stage The definitive guide to pelvic floor health, written by pelvic floor physical therapist and creator of the Vagina Whisperer, Dr. Sara Reardon.
