Returning to Exercise Safely after Birth

Whether you're eager to get your body back post baby or you just want to feel good, this week's episode of The Expert Guide to Parenthood Podcast is for you, as we welcome back our Pelvic & Women's Health Physiotherapist Expert Annette Beauchamp to share her tips and tricks on how to return to exercise safely after having a baby.

We discuss:

- How important is it to let your body rest after giving birth to help aid your recovery

- Many new mums experience pelvic floor dysfunction, diastasis recti, and lower back pain. Anny explains what these are and how they affect returning to exercise

- Many want to get their pre-baby body back and there is a lot of pressure on mamas to do that, but when is it that you can safely return to exercise

- Anny shares her tips on what gentle exercises you can begin with postpartum to help aid recovery post birth

- Anny discusses exercises to be avoided as they could potentially be doing more harm than good in the postnatal period

- Why women’s physios recommend waiting before returning to exercise

- How estrogen plays a role in breastfeeding and a woman's postpartum recovery

- Having a strong pelvic floor is essential. Anny talks us through how mums can strengthen this area and prevent risk of future damage by exercising too early after having a baby

- Returning to running. Is this safe and how do you go about doing it?
