‘Birth isn't something we suffer, but something we actively do and exult in.’ Sheila K. Watching this mama’s strength throughout her birth was something sweet I sprinting. Watching her find her peace, her inner strength, her calm, it was so powerful. Being able to witness raw power like this is just forever amazing. Sharing her story is just such an honor. ✨❤️. inkedmamabry

Your pelvic floor is a multi- tasking, incredible system responsible for all of this amazing stuff... Bladder and Bowel: The muscles of the pelvic floor wrap around and control the opening/ closure of your bladder and rectum. The muscles contract around your urethra and anus to prevent leakage and have to relax and lengthen to allow us to urinate or have bowel movements easily. Support: The pelvic floor muscles act as a basket to support our pelvic organs (bladder, rectum and uterus) against gravity and increases in abdominal pressure. With excess strain or weakening of the pelvic floor the pelvic organs can start to protrude near the vaginal opening. This is referred to as prolapse. Core Stability: Because of their attachments to the pelvis and hips, the pelvic floor muscles are an important part of the “core”. These muscles assist other abdominal, hip and back muscles to control movement of the sacroiliac and hip joints. Sexual: Sufficient strength of the pelvic floor muscles is necessary for orgasm, and excessive tension or sensitivity of the pelvic floor can also contribute to pain during or after intercourse. Circulation: The pelvic floor muscles act as a blood/lymph pump for the pelvis. A loss of this “sump-pump” action can contribute to swelling or pelvic congestion. As if this wasn’t enough, the pelvic floor is central in breathing and in regulating the pressure of our intra-abdominal cavity IMPORTANT:
If you suspect your pelvic floor muscles may not be functioning optimally and may be contributing to some of your symptoms, get yourself checked out by a pelvic health specialist. 📣looking to learn more?
