Ever wondered about the essential steps for a healthy postpartum return to physical activity? Curious about practical strategies to manage and alleviate symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse? Interested in learning effective techniques to listen to your body and prioritize post-childbirth recovery?

 

Join me, Amanda Fisher, on today’s podcast episode on Empower your Pelvis, as I share my personal journey and the challenges I faced with pelvic organ prolapse after the birth of my first child. Throughout the episode, I'll be reflecting on the importance of a gradual reintroduction to physical activity, emphasizing a walking program with varied terrain, and how vital it is to listen to your body's signals of discomfort or pain. You'll hear about the steps I wish I had taken earlier, like consulting with a pelvic floor physical therapist, and the strategies I now use to manage prolapse symptoms. Listen in as I provide practical advice for new mothers dealing with the discomfort of prolapse post-childbirth. 

I will touch on such topics as:  

  • My personal journey with pelvic organ prolapse, specifically my experience with a stage two bladder prolapse following the birth of my first child. 
  • The mistake of jumping straight into a three-mile run postpartum without proper rehabilitation, which exacerbated my symptoms.
  • The strategies to manage prolapse symptoms, particularly in the early stages of postpartum recovery.
  • The importance of proper techniques for getting up from the ground, such as using a half-kneeling position and incorporating breath control to reduce pressure symptoms.The benefits of using a pessary as a supportive tool.
