In this solo episode, we’re talking directly to the new moms—especially those in the first six weeks postpartum—who are feeling heaviness or pressure in their pelvic floor and wondering what it means. If you've been told to “just wait it out” or felt dismissed by your provider, this conversation is for you. This episode is all about giving you clarity, confidence, and a roadmap to move forward—without fear.

We talk about:

-Why you might be feeling heaviness early on

-Common risk factors for prolapse

-Whether prolapse can actually be fixed

-Why strengthening isn’t always the solution

-How to use symptom guardrails to guide your recovery

-What you need to know about exercising safely with prolapse
