Welcoming a new baby is a beautiful (and exhausting!) journey - so don't forget to look after yourself and supporting your body post-birth:

1. Rest when you can

Recovery takes time. Listen to your body and take the pressure off - healing doesn't happen overnight.

2. Reconnect with your pelvic floor

Start gentle breath work and pelvic floor activations early.

A women's health physio can guide you safely.

3. Prioritise Posture

Feeding and carrying bub can wreak havoc on your neck and back. Use pillows for support and keep shoulders relaxed.

4. Ease back into exercise

Start slow and steady.

Walking is a great first step - wait for clearance before high-impact workouts.

5. Don't be afraid to ask for help

Whether it's emotional support or physical care, you don't have to do this alone.
