13- Early Postpartum Recovery- Begin Restoring Your Core After Birth Day 1

Hey Momma!

Postpartum or the fourth trimester, is such a whirlwind of emotions.  Soaking up that new babe, adjusting to taking care of that new babe with little to no sleep, the hormone rollercoaster that is the fourth trimester and trying to also somehow take care of ourselves.  Unfortunately there are not enough check ups on mom postpartum.  Many women get sent home from the hospital with a date 6 weeks later for a follow up appointment to get “cleared” from their provider for activity and intercourse.  Waiting for this 6 week check up to start working on your recovery can be SO detrimental to your healing, as the tissues are very vulnerable during this healing time.  So we can either help our tissues heal optimally OR we can cause many issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, diastasis recti (DRA) or even an umbilical hernia (like I did).  We want to be able to feel strong and fit so we can be the mom our family deserves and keep up with all the things.  However, this is a period where you need to slow it down and reconnect to your body and pelvic floor and begin strengthening in a safe, controlled environment. Where you understand your body’s boundaries and are still able to rehab your core and pelvic floor, not waiting for 6-8 weeks when damage can be done.  Inside this week’s episode we will dive into why it's so crucial to begin your postpartum recovery day 1 and what that may look like for you.  So if you are pregnant and about to have a baby or if you just had your little one, or maybe it was even a couple years ago, this episode will be helpful for you to begin that journey with restoring your core postpartum.
