Too many women don’t learn these things until they’re dealing with pain, leaking, discomfort, or a difficult postpartum recovery.
Lindsay believes every expecting mom deserves to know these 5 things before they become a problem.
1. You don’t have to stop exercising.
Unless your healthcare provider has told you otherwise, movement is one of the best things you can do for both you and your baby.
2. Leaking, pain, and pressure aren’t things you should ignore.
Pelvic pain, leaking when you sneeze, feelings of heaviness, or discomfort during pregnancy and postpartum are often signs that your body needs support, not something you simply have to “push through.”
3. Breathing is more important than you think.
Your diaphragm, core, and pelvic floor are designed to work together. Learning how to breathe well throughout pregnancy helps to build a stronger foundation for labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
4. Preparing for postpartum starts during pregnancy.
Recovery doesn’t begin the day your baby is born. The movement habits, breathing mechanics, and body awareness you develop during pregnancy directly impact how confidently and comfortably you recover afterward.
5. You deserve support before there’s a problem.
You don’t have to wait until you’re leaking, in pain, or feeling disconnected from your body to see a pelvic floor physical therapist. One of the best times to assess how your body moves is before symptoms become limiting.
Our goal is to help you move well through pregnancy, recover well after birth, and continue feeling like yourself long after the newborn stage is over.
If you’re pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or navigating postpartum, Lindsay is here to help you prepare your body for every stage of motherhood.
Together, we’ll assess your movement, address concerns early, and create a plan that helps make the transition from pregnancy to postpartum and life beyond babies as seamless as possible.
