Early Parenthood Conditions

Congratulations on the birth of your baby!

There really is nothing quite like giving birth and the early weeks and months of parenthood whether this is your first baby or fourth. You need support to recover from pregnancy and childbirth and adjust to the demands of caring for a newborn.

Pelvic floor problems after birth are common. You might have sore stitches, trouble controlling your bladder or bowel, be worried that you have a prolapse or be concerned about returning to intimacy. Breastfeeding might be difficult with sore, red and inflamed breasts. Perhaps your back, pubic bone or neck are aching or your tummy muscles are separated and weak.

Alternatively, you might be feeling great but wondering if you need to do pelvic floor exercises or if it’s safe to return to exercise.

These are all common conditions and worries after having a baby. But you don’t have to put up with them. After birth and in early parenthood, expert advice and practical treatment will help you recover, allowing you to enjoy this special time with your beautiful new baby.

At Pelvic Health Matters, we know all about recovery from pregnancy and birth. And we’re here to help you. Alongside your other health practitioners, our support and advice will help you recover and return to everyday life as quickly as possible. So contact us soon if you’re having problems, don’t suffer alone. We’re confident that our proven pathway is the best way to restore your pelvic health and live your best life.
