Send us a textIf you are on Instagram and you have a vagina, you most likely know Sara Reardon, aka the vagina whisperer, pelvic floor extraordinaire! Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that attach to your pelvis and support your bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. A healthy pelvic floor is essential to normal functions such as: peeing, pooping, sex, and childbirth.  But after pregnancy and childbirth many women experience difficulty in one or all of the above. Sara joins us today to let us know that it is all fixable with the right help and support.  She talks us through painful postpartum sex,  what to do about leaking urine, when diastasis recti is actually harmful,  why you might need a "squatty potty" to have bowel movements after birth,  how to breathe to best support your pelvic floor and when, why, and how to Kegel for your healthiest pelvic floor post birth.  For more information on your pelvic floor check out episode #25:#25 | Your Core & Pelvic Floor: Interview with Women's Health Physical Therapist Tara Gibson* * * * * * * * * *Connect with us on Instagram @DownToBirthShow, where we post new information daily related to pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum.
