Peeing Your Pants Isn’t Normal OR Inevitable

Peeing your pants after giving birth is NOT a normal and inevitable part of motherhood.

In many developed nations, postpartum care includes comprehensive support for women's health, and this often includes pelvic floor therapy. PFT addresses the physiological changes that occur during pregnancy and childbirth, particularly the stress placed on the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a pivotal role in bladder and bowel control, and when weakened or damaged, can lead to issues like urinary incontinence.

Unfortunately, in the US, there's been a historical lack of emphasis on this aspect of maternal health, and honestly, it's infuriating.

Women here have been made to believe that postpartum urinary incontinence is a normal rite of passage, when in reality, it's a problem that can be solved.

This disparity in postpartum care again highlights the need for improved maternal health services in the United States. Women shouldn't have to accept peeing their pants as an unavoidable consequence of childbirth.

A shift towards more comprehensive maternal healthcare can ensure that women receive the care and support they deserve, aligning the United States with the practices of other developed nations and acknowledging that postpartum health is as important as prenatal care.

When you work with me, we will address this and many other aspects of your postpartum health and well-being.

Your well-being encompasses a range of physical, emotional, and psychological aspects that go beyond taking placenta pills.

Therefore, postpartum coaching and support are included with all encapsulation services.

A holistic approach is essential for a fulfilling and healthy postpartum journey.
