Back to Episodes112- The Hidden Habits Making Postpartum Healing Harder// Why Doing "Nothing" Before 6 wks Postpartum Is a Bad Idea
Description
In today’s episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we’re diving into the sneaky, normalized postpartum patterns that silently sabotage healing — and no, I’m not talking about exercise.
From holding your breath while lifting the car seat to collapsing into your core while feeding your baby, these everyday habits are creating pressure, disconnection, and pain in your pelvic floor and core system.
We’ll unpack:
- What’s really causing your symptoms to linger (even when you’re trying to heal)
- How breath, posture, and nervous system regulation play a bigger role than crunches ever could
- Small, doable shifts that make a huge impact in your daily healing
And if you’ve been told “this is just how it is after baby,” this is your permission slip to say no more.
You’ll learn:
✨ The 5 most common habits that stall postpartum healing
✨ How to stop unintentionally making your symptoms worse
✨ What your body is trying to tell you — and how to listen gently
✨ Real-life tools for breathing, softening, and creating safety in your core
