Pelvic floor issues after pregnancy are far more common than we’re told. In this must-listen episode of Between Us Moms, we’re joined by Dr. Sara Reardon, pelvic floor physical therapist and the woman behind @the.vagina.whisperer, to answer the questions so many moms are silently Googling.

Dr. Reardon breaks down what the pelvic floor actually is, how it’s affected by pregnancy, childbirth, and C-sections, and how to tell whether your pelvic floor is too tight, too weak, or both. We talk about what really happens during your first pelvic floor therapy session, when it’s safe to start therapy after giving birth (and whether it’s ever too late), and why pushing when you pee can do more harm than good.

This episode also dives into:

• Pelvic floor recovery after a C-section (including the C-section shelf and how to treat it)
• Common pelvic floor symptoms during perimenopause
• The role of the pelvic floor in sex, orgasm, and intimacy after having a baby
• How pelvic floor therapy can help if you struggle to orgasm
• Dr. Reardon’s professional take on red light therapy underwear
• One simple daily habit busy women can do to support pelvic floor health

Whether you’re newly postpartum, years out from having kids, entering perimenopause, or just want to feel stronger and more connected to your body, this episode is packed with practical, evidence-based advice every mom should hear.
