You can start pelvic floor exercises straight away. You may not feel like it on day one but if you are familiar with pelvic floor exercises absolutely gently give it a go. You may not feel much at this point but the idea is to get the connection from your brain, through your nerves to your muscles again which have just been through trauma. Our new mum program is designed for you to start from 1 week after giving birth. It is very gentle and doesn’t take up too much time.

Yes you can do pelvic floor exercises after both vaginal delivery and cesarean delivery. It is safe to start 1 week after birth and if you’re super keen start after day one gently and see how you go. If you feel pain stop and try again the next day. If you have had a cesarean delivery you may need to wait 2-4 weeks for some of the Transverses Abdominis (TA) exercises. Your body is much more capable than you think and it’s designed to recover so why not give it some help along with a lot of love for all it’s done. 

If you do your pelvic floor exercises daily and consistently with intention you can notice a difference in 3 days. It becomes a lot easier with increased results after 2 weeks. Exciting hey! Every body is different and recovers at a different rate but persist and you will feel stronger.

Yes pelvic floor exercises will help to build your inner core strength and reduce your abdominal separation. The other muscle that is equally important if not more important in reducing your abdominal separation is your Transversus Abdominis (TA)! Our 30 day lose your baby belly mum program includes a super effective and exclusive exercise called the head lift which is designed to target your TA and your abdominal separation. Also Note: Research has shown that the 1st 8 week after giving birth is the most effective time to reduce your abdominal separation and strengthen your core! Most women don’t know this and PPF is on a mission to make sure as many women as possible get this chance.
