E246. Why Pelvic Health Shouldn't Start After Birth

Pelvic Health Shouldn't Start After Birth - with Clare Bourne Pelvic health shouldn’t start after something goes wrong. In this episode, Pip is joined by pelvic health physiotherapist Claire Bourne to unpack what women really need to know about their pelvic floor - from pregnancy and birth to postpartum recovery. They talk about why pelvic health is so much more than Kegels, why “common” doesn’t always mean “normal”, and why six weeks postpartum isn’t a magic reset. A conversation about understanding your body, preparing for birth and feeling more informed throughout the whole journey. This episode is sponsored by Aniball, a birth preparation tool designed to help you become more familiar with the sensations of stretching and relaxation around the vaginal opening. As a midwife, I know how valuable building body awareness and confidence can be when preparing for birth. To get 10% off, use code PIP26.
