The Lady Birds 🐦 know recovering after birth is no joke, and the timeline isn’t as simple as "six weeks and you’re good to go!" In this episode, we break down what postpartum recovery actually looks like, from zero to six weeks and beyond. We talk about what “being cleared for exercise” really means, the importance of progressive loading, and how everyone’s recovery looks different. Whether you’re an elite athlete eager to return to training or someone just trying to pick up their baby without pain, we’ve got practical insights for you.
What We Cover in This Episode:
🍼 The reality of postpartum activity at 0-6 weeks
💪 Mat-based exercises that can help rebuild strength
🩺 What it actually means to be cleared for exercise at six weeks (hint - it doesn’t mean immediately go on a run!)
🤰 The HUGE range of “normal” in postpartum recovery
💡 Why every postpartum person should see a pelvic floor PT
📋 What to expect from your first postpartum PT visit
Key Takeaway: Whatever you’re experiencing postpartum – it can get better! ✨
