When you’re preparing for labor and delivery, it’s important to know that you have options when it comes to changing positions. As pelvic floor physical therapists, we highly recommend practicing getting into these positions ahead of time. The more you can prepare yourself to understand what your body feels like in different positions, the less you have to think about it after labor already begins.
If you’re looking for more helpful information about labor and delivery, we have options…
Coming in for a personalized pelvic floor physical therapy appointment is going to provide you with the most personalized preparation. In our labor and delivery prep appointments, we assess the current state of your core and pelvic floor, discuss your best options for movement and exercise leading up to baby, address any current pain or dysfunction you’re experiencing, and go through options for all different labor and delivery plans. Here, we can also address your personal fears and give you strategies to feel more confident and comfortable (like fear of tearing or unplanned C-section.)
2. If a personal appointment isn’t in the cards for you, consider a virtual self-paced course like our Birth + Baby Course. In this course, we provide pelvic floor PT-led instruction through the third trimester, labor and delivery prep, and fourth trimester healing. We even include pediatric PT milestones for baby!
