Stop Doing Kegels Postpartum (Pelvic PT Explains Why)

If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” after having a baby… this episode might completely change how you think about your body.

In this episode of The Baby Development Podcast, Dr. Olivia sits down with pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Becky to break down what’s really going on with postpartum recovery—and why so many women are still struggling with symptoms like leaking, pain, and pressure.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Kegels don’t fix the root problem
• What the pelvic floor actually does
• Why leaking doesn’t always mean weakness
• The role of breathing and pressure in recovery
• Common postpartum mistakes (and what to do instead)

If you’ve ever felt like your body isn’t the same after having a baby… this conversation will give you clarity, direction, and hope.
