Everyone asks:
"What's your birth plan?"

Few people ask:
"What's your recovery plan?"

Most people receive very little guidance about how to recover afterward.

Postpartum recovery is about listening to your body and giving it the support it's asking for.

But if you don't know what your pelvic floor is saying, how can you listen to it?
That's where pelvic floor physical therapy can help.
✨ Intentional movement
✨ Improved healing
✨ Increased understanding of your body

Because postpartum deserves a plan, too.

If you're pregnant, this is for you!

These are my top 5 tips for everyone who is expecting.

We've been to hundreds and hundreds of births.

And especially if it's your first baby or if it's your first unmedicated birth, who you have with you can make all the difference.

👉 You love your mom but if she's afraid of birth or scared of home birth, she wont be the support during delivery that she is in the rest of your life.

👉 Your friends want to be there because birth is exciting, but if home birth isn't their jam, the energy they bring can be distracting at best and create fear at worst.

👉 You wanted an out-of-hospital birth but your partner didn't and he's scared for you and baby.

We get asked all the time if you need to have a doula.

You don't "need" a doula, but we know that doulas check all of the boxes for a supportive team AND they can help your other birth supporters show up in a way that is helpful and supportive.

Basically, we trust our local doulas to create the space you'll need to have during birth.

And if you don't want a doula, that's cool with us! We know everyone is different and that's why we don't require them for anyone. We trust you to know if your people are enough for what you'll need.

But having supportive people around you IS necessary.
Because sometimes birth feels different than you thought it would.
Or lasts longer than it did last time.
Or needs to change plans.
And your support team can make all the difference in navigating that while also mentally and physically working through contractions.

Make birth easier for yourself and surround yourself with people who can offer you the physical and emotional support you'll need when you're welcoming your little one into the world. 💜

Raise your hand if you've ever done the emergency leg-cross before a sneeze. 🙋♀️

You're not alone!
But you're also not stuck with it.

Bladder leakage is one of the most common reasons women seek pelvic floor therapy—and one of the most treatable.

The things you'll remember most about pregnancy probably aren't what you think.

Years from now, you may not remember:
• What your baby measured at 32 weeks
• What your blood pressure was at every visit
• What size clothes you wore

But you'll remember how you felt. 💜

You'll remember the people who reassured you when you were scared.
The provider who listened.
The excitement of hearing your baby's heartbeat.
The conversations that helped you feel confident.

👉 The moments when pregnancy stopped feeling like a medical event and started feeling like a life-changing journey. 🌟

Those moments matter.
And they're worth making space for.

✨ Tell us: What's one thing you remember most about your pregnancy?

A friendly reminder from your local midwives:
You don't have to finish the laundry first.
You don't have to answer one more email.
You don't have to clean the kitchen before sitting down.

Growing a human is WORK.
Real work.

Your body is building a placenta.
Growing a baby.
Increasing blood volume.
Preparing for birth.

And yet we hear so often that our clients feel like they should be doing more or even feel guilty for slowing down.

This is your reminder:
Rest is productive!

🌟Taking care of yourself is taking care of your baby.🌟

And sometimes the most important thing on today's to-do list is simply putting your feet up.

❤️ Save this for the day you need the reminder.

The best birth preparation starts with trust.

Trust in your body.
Trust in your baby.
Trust in your ability to make informed decisions.
Trust in the team walking alongside you.

Birth isn't a test you can study for. There are no universal "right" answers.

Just the answers that are right for you and only you can determine what that is.

Birth an experience you move through.

And while no one can predict exactly how birth will unfold, feeling informed, supported, and confident can change everything about how you feel

The goal isn't a perfect birth because there isn't one "best" way to give birth.

The goal is feeling empowered throughout the journey because everyone deserves that.

You wouldn't expect a sprained ankle to fully heal in six weeks.

Why do we expect that from the body that grew and birthed a baby?

I can't even tell you how much I cringe at the term "bouncing back."

Postpartum is about recovering.
It's about healing well.

If you're experiencing:
✨ Leaking
✨ Pelvic pressure
✨ Pain with intimacy
✨ Core weakness
✨ Back or hip pain
A pelvic floor PT evaluation can help identify what's going on and create a plan that actually supports healing and helping your body recover from the work of pregnancy and birth.

It’s my favorite time of year at our office! I just love it when everything is in bloom. 💕

One of our sweet clients sent me this picture that she took after her appointment yesterday and I had to share it. At least all of the rain, heat, and humidity is creating something beautiful!
