6 weeks postpartum.
Not “back to normal.” Not even close.

✅ Still healing
✅ Still bleeding
✅ Still navigating pain, pressure, and identity


The 6-week clearance doesn’t mean you’re “healed”, it means it’s time to start listening to your body. Really listening.
✨ Your scar may be closed, but the trauma, the tension, the pelvic floor dysfunction? Still very real.
✨ You deserve support, rehab, and validation, not silence and shame.
👩‍⚕️ As a pelvic floor PT, I’m here to tell you: You are not broken. You are recovering. And recovery takes more than 6 weeks.

If you were pregnant at 35 or older—what’s something you wish others understood about that experience?

Share your perspective below ⬇️—your story might be exactly what someone else needs to hear.

Moms deserve more than survival.

A single 6-week checkup cannot cover physical recovery, mental health, pelvic floor trauma, feeding struggles, sleep deprivation, or pain.

Postpartum support should be a system — not an afterthought.

What do you wish your provider had done postpartum?

🚨 Pelvic floor dysfunction doesn’t always look like p*eing your pants.

In fact, some of the most common symptoms are the ones people never realize are connected to their pelvic floor.

Things like:
⚠️ Feeling like you never completely empty your bladder
⚠️ Needing to push or strain to poop
⚠️ Pain with intimacy
⚠️ Tailbone, hip, or low back pain that won’t go away
⚠️ A constant feeling of pressure “down there”
⚠️ Having to p*e all the time, even when your bladder isn’t full
⚠️ Difficulty inserting tampons
⚠️ Leaking gas or struggling to hold it in

Many people spend years treating the symptom without ever addressing the source.

They see a GI specialist for constipation.
A urologist for urinary urgency.
A chiropractor for back pain.
A gynecologist for painful in*******se.

And sometimes, the missing piece is the pelvic floor.

Just because a symptom is common doesn’t mean it’s normal.
If you’ve been told to “just live with it,” this is your reminder that there may be treatment options available. 💛
