Many women may notice little leaks during the first 3 months postpartum with coughing, sneezing, running, or lifting after having a baby.

While this is common, 1 in every 3 women postpartum, it doesn’t mean it’s something you simply have to live with. If it is still a bother after 3 months, it is essential to seek guidance from a pelvic health physiotherapist to prevent it becoming a long-term problem.

Pregnancy and birth place significant demands on the pelvic floor.

Early, gentle rehabilitation can help restore coordination, strength, and support as the body recovers.

Pelvic health physiotherapy focuses on understanding how your pelvic floor is functioning — not just strengthening it, but helping it work effectively with your breathing, posture, and daily movement.

Supporting recovery early can help prevent small symptoms from becoming longer-term concerns.

If you’re noticing postpartum leaking, book in with Louise for personalised pelvic health support.

Maybe you’ve noticed a few small changes in your body…
You rush to the bathroom more often than you used to.

You feel a heaviness in your pelvis after a long day.
Or intimacy feels different since having a baby.

Many people assume pelvic floor issues only relate to leaking — but the pelvic floor is connected to much more than that.

These muscles work closely with your bladder, bowel, core, breathing and nervous system to support everyday movement and function.

Because of this, pelvic health concerns can show up in many ways, including:

• Pelvic pain
• Bladder urgency or leaking
• Bowel changes
• Discomfort with intimacy
• Core weakness or instability
• Postpartum recovery challenges

When we understand how the pelvic floor works with the rest of the body, we can better support recovery, comfort, and long-term wellbeing.

If any of this sounds familiar, book in with Louise for personalised pelvic health support.

When people think about the pelvic floor, they often assume it’s just about strength — but that’s only part of the story.

Your pelvic floor is part of a much bigger system.

It works closely with your breathing, posture, abdominal muscles, and nervous system to support bladder and bowel control, movement, and core stability.

Sometimes symptoms aren’t about weakness at all — they can be about coordination, tension, or how these systems are working together.

Understanding how the pelvic floor actually functions can change the way we approach symptoms and recovery.

Many people are told this after having a baby, but persistent pain during intimacy isn’t something you simply have to tolerate.

After childbirth, the pelvic floor and surrounding tissues have been through significant change. Hormonal shifts, healing from birth, muscle tension, scar tissue, dryness (especially during breastfeeding), and nervous system responses can all influence how the body feels.

For some people, these changes settle naturally over time. For others, the body may need a little more support to restore comfort and confidence.

Pelvic health physiotherapy can help identify what’s contributing to the pain and guide safe, supportive strategies to improve comfort and function.

You don’t have to just “wait it out.”

If this resonates with you, book in with Louise for pelvic health support and guidance.

After a C-section, the body goes through an incredible healing process. As the incision heals, scar tissue forms — and sometimes that tissue can feel tight, restricted, or uncomfortable.

Gentle scar massage can help support the healing process by:
• Helping the tissue move more freely
• Reducing pulling or tight sensations around the scar
• Supporting circulation to the area
• Improving overall scar mobility

When introduced at the right stage of healing, scar massage can be a helpful way to support comfort and movement as your body recovers.

Everyone’s recovery is different, so guidance from a pelvic health physiotherapist can help ensure techniques are safe and appropriate for you.

A simple hormone-supporting habit:
Try to include protein and healthy fats at every meal.

This combination helps stabilise blood sugar, which can support more balanced energy, mood, and appetite throughout the day.

When meals are mostly refined carbohydrates on their own, blood sugar can spike and drop quickly — often leaving you feeling tired, irritable, or reaching for another snack soon after.

Adding protein and healthy fats slows digestion and helps keep energy levels steadier.

Some easy examples:

• Eggs with avocado on wholegrain toast
• Greek yoghurt with nuts and berries
• Chicken, salmon or tofu with vegetables and olive oil
• A smoothie with protein, nut butter and seeds
Small adjustments like this can make a meaningful difference over time.

💭 Myth Monday: The biggest misconception I see about prolapse

Many people think prolapse will always need surgery but this is not a fact. Many women improve with pelvic floor connection, postural awareness, appropriate exercise, healthy bladder and bowel habits and readjusting daily habits.

Prolapse is when one or more pelvic organs bulge onto the vaginal walls because the supporting muscles or tissues have weakened or lengthened. It’s common amongst women, can be managed with conservative strategies, and doesn’t always require surgery.

Conservative support can include:
• Pelvic floor coordination (not just strengthening)
• Breath and pressure management
• Lifting and load strategies
• Bowel and bladder optimisation
• Education and reassurance

Surgery may be appropriate for some — but it’s usually one option, not the first or only one.
If you’ve been told to “just live with it” or felt scared by the word prolapse, know that there are options and support available.
