Two C-sections here—one emergency, one elective. And I can tell you this: a C-section is not the easy way out.

It is birth.
It is major abdominal surgery.
And recovery deserves more support than “just take it easy.”

Things that got me every time?
The shaking.
Feeling everything except pain.
After-birth pains on top of surgery pain.
Gas pain (honestly… wild).
And the fact that you can still have pelvic floor symptoms after a C-section. Yes—leaking too.

What I wish more mums knew:
✨ Early movement can help.
✨ Compression may help you feel more supported.
✨ Horizontal rest still matters.
✨ “Don’t lift more than baby” can feel unrealistic when you have other children—but load can be managed.
✨ And yes, subsequent pregnancies can sometimes stir symptoms up again.

There is so much we can do to support C-section recovery.
We need to stop treating recovery as something women should just push through.

If you’ve had a C-section—what surprised you most about recovery? Tell me below 👇

Save this for a mum planning a C-section, recovering from one, or doing it again.

Everyone’s told to “strengthen their pelvic floor”

But what if yours isn’t weak…
👉 it’s overactive?

⸻

A tight pelvic floor means:

⚡ It’s already working too hard
⚡ It struggles to fully relax
⚡ It can’t respond properly when pressure hits

⸻

So instead of helping…

It can actually lead to:
• urgency
• leaking
• pain with s*x
• that constant “heavy / tense” feeling

⸻

And here’s the problem 👇

If you just keep doing Kegels on top of that…

👉 you’re adding MORE tension

⸻

What your body might actually need:

✔️ Learning how to fully relax
✔️ Breathwork (your diaphragm + pelvic floor work together)
✔️ Letting go before you strengthen

⸻

This is why “just do Kegels” doesn’t work for everyone

(and sometimes makes things worse 👀)

⸻

If this sounds like you — save this

Unpopular opinion:
your sparkling water isn’t as innocent as you think 👀

You cleaned up your diet…
swapped soft drink for sparkling…
and now you’re p*eing MORE? 🚽

Not a coincidence.

⸻

Your bladder has a lining —
and some of your “daily habits” are quietly irritating it 👇

• Fizzy drinks (yep… even the fancy ones)
• Coffee (sorry ☕)
• Alcohol 🍷
• Chocolate 🍫
• Citrus 🍊
• Spicy food 🌶️
• Yes… even your Coke Zero 👀

⸻

🧠 What’s actually happening:

Irritated bladder =
👉 more sensitive nerves
👉 stronger signals
👉 earlier “I need to go” feeling

So your bladder starts acting dramatic…
even when it’s barely full.

⸻

👀 This is why you might feel:

• urgency out of nowhere
• constant need to p*e
• small, frequent wees
• “I JUST went?!”

⸻

🚨 Let’s clear something up:

You probably don’t have a “small bladder”

👉 your bladder has just become more sensitive + reactive

(and yes… that can be trained 👀)

⸻

And no — doing more Kegels won’t fix this 🙃

⸻

✔️ Try this instead:

Strip it back for 5–7 days
Then reintroduce one by one

Watch what your bladder reacts to 👀

⸻

Your bladder isn’t broken…
it’s just a bit irritated 🤍

Save this before your next “healthy” drink 🥤
…and send it to someone who “has a small bladder” and lives on Coke Zero 😏

Pain with s*x postpartum is often brushed off as “normal”.

But here’s the truth:

👉 It’s common — but not something you should ignore.

There are multiple factors at play:
Hormones, pelvic floor tension, scar tissue, nervous system responses, and more.

And most importantly —
✨ these are treatable ✨

You don’t need to:
❌ push through pain
❌ wait it out indefinitely
❌ assume this is your “new normal”

Start by:
✔ slowing things down
✔ focusing on relaxation (not just strengthening)
✔ supporting your body properly

And if things aren’t improving — get support.

I recently saw a video where someone had a labiaplasty for symptoms that, clinically, often overlap with things like pelvic floor tension or vulvodynia.

And it made me pause…

Because so many women experience pain, discomfort, or sensitivity in this area —
and aren’t always told about the full range of options available.

👉 Pelvic floor overactivity
👉 Vulval sensitivity
👉 Nervous system involvement

These can all drive symptoms like pain, irritation, or discomfort —
and they’re often treatable with conservative, evidence-based care.

Of course, I don’t know her full story or what led to that decision —
but I do know that these conversations matter.

You deserve to understand what’s actually driving your symptoms —
and to explore the right options before jumping to irreversible ones.

Plank is one of the best core exercises to do. There are many ways to do a plank. Activating into the deep core is essential.

I like to bring mindfulness into simple exercises. Being mindful of how you are contracting and breathing while we exercising, strengthens your neural pathways. This teaches your body to use these new patterns without you thinking of it! Helping you to be strong and pain free!

Challenge!!! Todays pelvic floor exercise is to try and hold your core and pelvic floor while doing a forearm plank!! Try to hold for 20seconds!

Remember you are NOT holding your breath! You need to keep breathing! ✨
