How to recover from childbirth – an expert guide

After all the physical changes during pregnancy and following childbirth, many women are left wondering how to get active again and where to begin.

Key Points: 
  • After all the physical changes during pregnancy and following childbirth, many women are left wondering how to get active again and where to begin.
  • Of course, activity after childbirth is an individual journey with multiple things to consider – and one of the first considerations may not be what you expect: your pelvic floor.
  • If you’ve just given birth (or are about to) and you’re wondering where to start, here’s what you need to know:

1. Keep your poo soft


    Straining on the toilet can overstretch the pelvic floor muscles which makes it harder for them to work properly. To avoid this you can keep your poo soft by drinking lots of water and increasing the fibre in your diet, such as high-fibre cereals, brown pasta and nuts. Also, consider your position on the toilet. The use of a stool underneath your feet can make it easier to poo without straining as it helps to straighten the end of the bowel.

2. Get your pelvic floor moving

    • This is because pelvic floor activity can improve the strength and function of the muscles to help bladder control and vaginal support.
    • After a vaginal delivery and even after a c-section, the recovery time for the pelvic floor continues for up to one year.
    • Pelvic health physiotherapists recommend squeezing your pelvic floor for ten seconds before relaxing for ten repetitions, followed by ten short squeezes.

3. Let things settle and go gently

    • The tummy helps to support the pelvis so rushing back to activity too quickly can put unnecessary strain on these areas.
    • Opt instead for a gentle increase in activity to help the muscles and joints settle such as walking, yoga or pilates rather than starting higher impact activity, like running, too early.

4. Check your mental health

    • The National Perinatal Mental Health Project Report focuses on improving mental health support for women after they have given birth by providing more support services.
    • These services can be accessed by speaking to your GP, midwife, health visitor or pelvic health physiotherapist.
    • Looking after your mental health and concentrating on your pelvic floor are good starting points.
