We spend so much time preparing for a new baby.
The clothes. The nappies. The hospital bag. The feeding essentials.
But Mum’s recovery deserves consideration, too.
Pregnancy and birth can affect bladder control, and some women experience urinary leakage during the postpartum period. That doesn’t mean you should ignore it or feel you have to manage it alone.
If you’re experiencing leakage or changes after birth, speak with your GP, midwife or pelvic health physiotherapist about what may help.
Practical products can also play a role. Svelte offers discreet everyday continence support during postpartum recovery where bladder leakage and postpartum bleeding is part of the picture.
Your recovery is part of the journey. You deserve support through it.
Save this as a reminder for yourself or someone preparing for life after birth.
