Appearances
cues to stop what you're doing.
When it comes to pregnancy-specific symptoms?
If you start to feel like you're having contractions, if you develop spotting, call your doctor.
Make sure that you're not doing things where there is a risk for direct abdominal trauma, right?
So
Things like boxing is probably not a good idea.
There's that opportunity for direct abdominal trauma.
The overall goal is not how strong can I get in that last trimester.
It's stretching the pelvic floor and also am I clear on how to let go and push through the pelvic floor without tightening it.
On the social media streets, I'm known as Vagina Rehab Doctor.
Which is really common during and after pregnancy, actually.
You know, giving birth is the Olympics for the pelvic floor.
We use our pelvic floor all the time, but we don't use it to that extent when we are pregnant and giving birth.
It's a group of muscles that sits at the base of your pelvis.
And so these are the muscles that open and relax when you're ready to pee and poop.
They're the muscles that need to open and get out of the way when it's time for the baby to come through that birth canal.
And so the pelvic floor is crucial to your overall confidence, your daily activity, and especially pregnancy and postpartum, managing that period well.
Like, if you feel tense during the day, your vagina's probably tense too.
Pelvic floor stretches are things like happy baby, child's pose, cat-cow, diaphragmatic breathing.
And when you give birth, the muscle that generally tears is this muscle right here.
