What’s covered?
The Pelvic Floor
Some people say that the pelvic floor is the centre of the universe - and we agree! It can almost seem like a bit of a phenomenon as we do not usually start to hear about it until pregnancy. Learn all about the pelvic floor - what it is, how to use it, why we need it and how to keep it strong and efficient in during your recovery.
Abdominal Muscle Seperation
It is normal to have an abdominal muscle separation during the third trimester of your pregnancy. Natalie discusses how to reduce your separation postnatally and regain abdominal muscle function.
Posture and Breastfeeding
Natalie discusses your posture after pregnancy, especially if breastfeeding, talking you through your set up when feeding your baby, to help reduce the likelihood of sustaining an injury.
Bladder and Bowels
The way you go to the toilet and how you look after your bowels can have a significant impact on your pelvic floor and your risk of prolapse. Natalie will instruct you on optimal bowel habits to assist in your postnatal recovery.
Recovery after a Caesarian
Whether you have had a planned or an emergency caesarean, Natalie discusses what to expect after you have had your baby.
Return to Sexual Intercourse
Let’s talk about sex (after) baby, Let’s talk about you and me… But jokes aside, at some point most women want to know about returning to sex after baby. This may be one of the least talked about parts of returning to life as you knew it. Many women experience a change in their sexual desires or activity after birth as a result of physical, emotional or hormonal changes.
Return to Exercise
Exercising is always beneficial, physically and psychologically, but where do you start after having a baby? Natalie discusses the benefits of exercise postnatally, what types of exercise to start with and how to progress safely.
Postnatal Depression
A new mother can develop postnatal depression within a few days or weeks of giving birth. Natalie discusses the signs and symptoms and makes suggestions of where you can get further support and help.
