Your Pelvic Floor After Birth: Rebuilding From Week One

Your pelvic floor has done an extraordinary job. After nine months of carrying your baby and the physical work of birth, it deserves gentle, patient rebuilding—not a punishing exercise regimen. This practical guide takes you from the very first days after delivery, when rest and breathing matter most, through to the slow, confident return of strength. You'll learn how to protect your healing body while feeding, lifting, and moving through your day, how to perform pelvic floor exercises correctly, how to care for perineal tears and caesarean incisions, and how to recognise the difference between normal recovery and the signs that need professional help. Written in clear, reassuring language, this book supports every birth story—vaginal, assisted, or caesarean—and every feeding choice. It also shows you when to ask for help, whether the issue is leaking, heaviness, pain, or worry about prolapse, so you never feel alone in your recovery. Your pelvic floor is not broken; it is recovering. Part of The Pregnancy Companion Library.
