Stop Trying to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor - Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma | Lyssna här

Have you been told to do more kegels?

Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, leaking when you sneeze, feeling pressure, or simply trying to "strengthen your pelvic floor," chances are you've heard that kegels are the answer.

But what if they're not?

In this episode of Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma, we're breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding pelvic floor health: the belief that every mom needs a stronger pelvic floor and more kegels.

You'll learn why kegels are often done incorrectly, why strength isn't always the missing piece, and how focusing only on squeezing can actually keep you stuck dealing with pain, leaking, weakness, and pelvic floor dysfunction.

I also introduce my B.S.R. Method (Basics, Support, Restore), the same framework I use to help pregnant and postpartum moms find relief, feel more confident in their bodies, and build a pelvic floor that actually works with them—not against them.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why a stronger pelvic floor isn't always the answer
The common mistakes moms make when doing kegels
What your pelvic floor actually needs to function well
How breathing, core engagement, and daily movement impact your pelvic floor
The three steps of the B.S.R. Method and how they help create lasting relief
What to focus on instead of doing endless kegels

If you've been told to "just do kegels" but you're still leaking, experiencing pain, feeling weak, or not seeing the results you expected, this episode is for you.

Remember, pregnancy pain may be common, but it is not normal. And a healthy pelvic floor is about more than just being stronger. Sometimes the first step toward feeling better is understanding what your body actually needs.
