π€° It is so important to work with a Pelvic Floor PT DURING your pregnancy!
While kegels (when done correctly) are functional and beneficial for strengthening, there are so many more things that can improve your outcomes postpartum.
Did you know that during labor, tissues need to relax and stretch up to 300% to allow the uterus to contract and push baby out??
During labor your pelvic floor needs to RELAX and make way for baby, no kegels in sight π
Birth prep teaches you about:
β¨ Labor and birthing positions
β¨ Pelvic floor relaxation
β¨ Pushing techniques
β¨ Perineal massage
β¨ Pain reduction - before, during, and after labor..so that your pelvic floor can get out of the way as the uterus pushes the baby out π«Ά
π Kegels may help with recovery postpartum, but are definitely NOT birth prep!
Empower your birth journey, and set yourself up for success with prenatal pelvic floor PT π©·
