Today we look at that magical moment of when baby arrives... and what that means for mum. Just how well are we supporting our new moms? Are we encouraging them to heal and restore or are we assuming that all is fine and let's just jump back into life and exercise as if pregnancy and birth didn't happen? I hope you enjoy this episode and share with any new or soon to be moms you know!
Today we explore the post partum period for mum. Are we supporting our new mums well, in terms of restoration or are we expediting them back to their pre pregnancy activities without this magical piece of the jigsaw?
Today I explore:
- how that immediate focus on baby can leave some mums in the dark
- the pressure to start shifting baby weight V's restoring the post partum body
- the perception that everyone can jump right back in to 'normal' activities and exercise
I also get into the nitty gritty of daily functions... can we ask better questions to help with the more intimate, but often painful issues, of bowel movements, perineal trauma and returning to intimacy...
