Still leaking when you sneeze and quietly assuming that's just your life now, even though you may not be FRESH postpartum? Or faithfully doing your Kegels and wondering why NOTHING is actually getting better? Then BUCKLE UP mom friend!!!
This week I sat down with Christina of Tighten Your Tinkler to talk about the pelvic floor conversation nobody continues past those early postpartum months. We get into why Kegels are so often the wrong answer, the real difference between a weak and a tight pelvic floor (and why it completely changes what you should be doing), why pain during sex can show up a year or two later out of nowhere, and whether it's ever truly too late to fix this stuff. If you've been pushing through and hoping it just resolves on its own, this one might change your mind.
In this episode, we dive into:
- does online pelvic floor therapy actually work without an internal assessment
- why nobody talks about the pelvic floor after the postpartum period ends
- can pelvic floor problems cause painful sex a year or two later
- What is the difference between a weak pelvic floor and a tight pelvic floor
- how do you know if you have a tight or weak pelvic floor
- is it ever too late to fix pelvic floor issues or do you need surgery
- a good first step if you are leaking or feeling tight
- why Kegels are not the answer for most moms
- what happens to your pelvic floor at 60 or 70 if you ignore it now
- what actually counts as the postpartum period
- why pelvic floor symptoms come back with the next pregnancy
