“When should I come in for my postpartum assessment?”
This is a common question we get and here’s our answer:
Come in before delivery! We can assess your pelvic floor and address any musculoskeletal restrictions to set you up for a smooth delivery and recovery. Birth can be unpredictable, but having a better understanding of your body can yield a better experience during your labor, delivery, and recovery!
We’ll teach you how to:
➰connect to your pelvic floor in a healthy way (no gripping!)
➰how to push using breath and your upper body, (your pelvic floor doesn’t shoot the baby out!)
➰best prepare you for the early postpartum days by reviewing safe movements
➰give you info on how to best manage your body if things don’t go according to your plan (ie: c-section, instrument assisted delivery, postpartum orthopedic/pelvic pain).
And if you can’t make it in prior, we can guide you via telehealth or in person during your early postpartum days. You don’t need to wait 6 weeks to seek care for your concerns. Intervening early can set you up for a better recovery! You’ve got this!
