About this course

The pelvic floor and core carry more in postpartum than almost any other part of the body. Leaking, heaviness, prolapse, diastasis recti, and pain are common, and almost never discussed with the care they deserve. This course explains what the pelvic floor and core actually are, what pregnancy and birth do to them, and what real recovery looks like. It also names exactly when to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, because you deserve far more than a six-week clearance and a shrug.

  • What the pelvic floor and core actually are and do
  • Leaking, heaviness, prolapse, and diastasis recti explained
  • What real recovery looks like beyond the six-week clearance

Important: this course is educational, not medical care

Forpartum courses provide educational information about the postpartum period, informed by research and more than a decade of birth and postpartum practice. They are not medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and they are not a substitute for care from your physician, midwife, therapist, pelvic floor physiotherapist, or other qualified provider. Nothing in this course should delay you from seeking care.

If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, including thoughts of harming yourself or your baby, call 911 (or your local emergency number) or the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline in the United States right now.
