“When should I start doing pelvic floor physical therapy exercises during pregnancy and postpartum (especially after having a C-section like I did)?!🤔

The short answer…IT DEPENDS!

When did I start? The same day I had surgery. Yes, I started implementing education to protect my surgery site such as splinting, log roll technique, breathing, bracing, standing at edge of bed, sitting at edge of bed, walking to the bathroom, etc.✅

There are a variety of factors that you just can’t control during pregnancy, labor, and postpartum…(like an emergency c-section)

So it is important to focus on all the things you can control like EXERCISE! It’s important to prepare mentally, and physically for whatever comes your way. That’s why I recommend patients see or talk with a pelvic floor PT at least once during pregnancy and again postpartum!❤️

I was 6 weeks pp here but that doesn’t mean you need to be jumping rope! We all will recover at a different rate depending on what you did during pregnancy, complications, medical history, etc!⬇️

I have been doing breathing for my belly and pelvic floor everyday as well as stretching, strengthening, and cardio at least 5-15 min daily!✅

Even in crazy days where I only get 5 minutes to myself or am exhausted from lack of sleep, I always do DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING!🔥

I talk a lot about prep during pregnancy & postpartum healing in my Pregnancy Prep & Postpartum Recovery Online Program🔥

I even added information about my personal recovery and personalized home exercise PDFs to show you all what I have been doing to recover!✅

I am also back to doing ALL the exercises from The Belly Whisperer Method online program!

P.S. If it’s been years since you had kids but you want to start strengthening, stretching, and protecting your belly and pelvic floor then I recommend checking out The Belly Whisperer Method!🔥🔥🔥

And remember it takes YEARS to heal postpartum even if you can start doing more activities again so don’t rush the process, just do what you can to help prevent injuries and keep you feeling good!❤️

Focus on feeling good first. Nourish your body with sleep, food, and exercise🙌
