Postpartum Pelvic Floor Considerations

Course overview

The effects of birth are usually felt most during the first 12 weeks postpartum - the time also known as the fourth trimester. Women may experience a range of sensations such as leaking pelvic heaviness low back hip or pelvic pain and a general sense they are living in an unknown body. While these sensations usually resolve spontaneously during the fourth trimester some women may continue to experience the effects of childbirth for longer.
