Send us a text In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all too often — bladder leaks during pregnancy. You might’ve heard bladder leaks are 'normal' during pregnancy, but I’m here to challenge that idea. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s something you have to put up with.

Here’s what I cover: Why bladder leaks might be common, but they’re not something to ignore What actually happens to your pelvic floor during pregnancy and birth The impact of hormones, posture, and physical changes on your pelvic health Why early signs like leaking when sneezing or exercising matter What you can do right now: Understanding how to understand your pelvic health The importance of diaphragmatic breathing How to modify movement and exercise safely When to seek help from a pelvic floor physio Why keeping active during pregnancy can support better postnatal recovery How my FitNest Mama app can help you feel strong and supported — anytime, anywhere ** This podcast has general information only.

Send us a text In this podcast episode, I discuss something incredibly important - and personal - that affects far too many women but isn’t talked about enough: postnatal pelvic floor issues, even after a so-called ‘perfect’ or ‘textbook’ birth. After being a physio for pregnant women for nearly 2 decades, and having birthed 3 children myself, I'm still suprised we are not discussing this more... As a pelvic floor physiotherapist and mum of three, I’ve seen first-hand how the right information at the right time can change a woman’s recovery—and her entire experience of motherhood. And that’s exactly why I started the Pregnancy, Birth and Recovery Podcast . If you are pregnant, or newly postnatal, I trust you will love this episode. ** This podcast has general information only.
