Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma

If you’ve ever walked away from pelvic floor therapy thinking…
“Maybe my body just can’t heal.”
This episode is for you.
One of the biggest misconceptions I hear is that all pelvic floor therapy is the same. It isn’t.
Just like every pregnancy, every birth, and every mom is different, your pelvic floor needs are different too. What helps one woman may actually make another woman’s symptoms worse.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
Why pelvic floor therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all
Common reasons moms don’t get relief—even after seeing a provider
Why exercises and kegels aren’t always the first answer
What a comprehensive pelvic floor assessment should include
Questions you should ask if you’re looking for the right support
How my B.S.R. Method focuses on the basics first, so your body has the foundation it needs before adding exercises

Whether you’ve never seen a pelvic floor therapist or you’ve already tried and felt disappointed, I want you to know this:
Your previous experience doesn’t determine what’s possible for your future.
There is a reason you’re still experiencing pain, leaking, pressure, or discomfort—and there is a better way to approach it.
If you’re ready to stop guessing and start learning what your body actually needs, check out The Pain-Free Pregnancy & Postpartum Package, where I teach the B.S.R. Method to help you find relief, move with confidence, prepare for birth, and recover with support.

Have you been told to do more kegels?
Whether you're pregnant, postpartum, leaking when you sneeze, feeling pressure, or simply trying to "strengthen your pelvic floor," chances are you've heard that kegels are the answer.
But what if they're not?
In this episode of Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma, we're breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions surrounding pelvic floor health: the belief that every mom needs a stronger pelvic floor and more kegels.
You'll learn why kegels are often done incorrectly, why strength isn't always the missing piece, and how focusing only on squeezing can actually keep you stuck dealing with pain, leaking, weakness, and pelvic floor dysfunction.
I also introduce my B.S.R. Method (Basics, Support, Restore), the same framework I use to help pregnant and postpartum moms find relief, feel more confident in their bodies, and build a pelvic floor that actually works with them—not against them.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why a stronger pelvic floor isn't always the answer
The common mistakes moms make when doing kegels
What your pelvic floor actually needs to function well
How breathing, core engagement, and daily movement impact your pelvic floor
The three steps of the B.S.R. Method and how they help create lasting relief
What to focus on instead of doing endless kegels

If you've been told to "just do kegels" but you're still leaking, experiencing pain, feeling weak, or not seeing the results you expected, this episode is for you.

Remember, pregnancy pain may be common, but it is not normal. And a healthy pelvic floor is about more than just being stronger. Sometimes the first step toward feeling better is understanding what your body actually needs.

You've been doing the exercises.
You've tried the stretches. You've followed the YouTube videos. You've been told to strengthen your core, do your kegels, and keep up with your pelvic floor exercises.
So why are you still in pain?
Why are you still leaking?
Why does it feel like nothing is actually changing?
In this episode of Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma, we're talking about one of the biggest mistakes pregnant and postpartum moms make when trying to find relief: jumping straight to exercises before addressing the root cause of the problem.
The truth is, exercises aren't bad. But when they're used as the first and only solution, they're often just a band-aid. They may provide temporary relief, but they don't address the daily habits, movement patterns, and foundational support your body needs to create lasting change.
That's where the B.S.R. Method comes in.
By focusing on Basics, Support, and Restore, you'll learn how to work with your body instead of fighting against it, creating relief that lasts beyond the few minutes you spend exercising each day.
In this episode, you'll learn:
Why exercises alone aren't fixing your pain or leaking
The difference between temporary relief and long-term results
Why so many moms feel frustrated after trying stretches, workouts, and pelvic floor exercises
How everyday movements may be contributing to your symptoms
What the B.S.R. Method is and why it creates lasting change
What to focus on before adding more exercises to your routine

If you're tired of being told to "just do more exercises" and you're ready to understand what's actually keeping you stuck, this episode is for you.
📱 Follow Pelvic Floor Momma for more pregnancy, birth, and postpartum support
You don't need another list of exercises.
You need a plan that helps your body feel supported throughout the other 23 hours and 50 minutes of your day.
That's where lasting relief begins.

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest problems in healthcare: the lack of education surrounding the pelvic floor.
From pregnancy pain being dismissed as "normal" to postpartum symptoms being brushed aside, too many women are left feeling confused, unsupported, and wondering why no one prepared them for what they're experiencing.
I'm sharing my personal story, why pelvic floor education became such a passion of mine, and how the lack of awareness affects everything from pregnancy pain and leaking to birth preparation, postpartum recovery, and even patient safety.
Trigger warning, this episode talks about being sexually abused by a medical professional disguising his treatment as pelvic floor.
We'll talk about:
• Why so many women don't know what their pelvic floor actually does
• Common myths and misconceptions surrounding pelvic health
• The gap between what moms need and what they're often told
• Why "just do kegels" isn't the answer
• How understanding your body can help you feel stronger, more confident, and more supported during pregnancy and postpartum
If you've ever felt dismissed, discouraged, or like you were expected to simply live with pain, leaking, weakness, or discomfort, this episode is for you.
Because pregnancy pain may be common, but that doesn't mean it's normal. And every mom deserves access to the education and support needed to feel comfortable and confident in her body.
