Pelvic Floor 101: What Every Woman Should Know Before & After Birth

I had the pleasure of joining Dr. Renda Knapp, MD of MamaDocBabyDoc for a conversation about all things pelvic health — from understanding the pelvic floor and core to preparing for birth and navigating postpartum recovery.

We talk about the questions so many women have but aren’t always sure who to ask:

• Do you really need to do Kegels?

• Is leaking after having a baby “normal”?

• What happens to your core and pelvic floor during pregnancy and birth?

• How can C-section and perineal scars affect the body?

• When should you see a pelvic health physical therapist?

• How can pelvic health PT help you prepare for birth — not just recover from it?

Whether you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or years beyond birth, this episode is a great place to start understanding your pelvic health.
