9-Preparing Your Pelvic Floor for Childbirth with Joy Bylsma

Show Notes:

Joy Bylsma, a pelvic floor therapist, joins me today on the show to talk about:

ways to prepare your pelvic floor muscles for childbirth, including perineal massage

positions that can be used in childbirth to work with the pelvic floor muscles

ways to care for yourself and things to watch out for postpartum

We mention an exercise called the pelvic rock. Here is a video.

I also like this video that teaches pelvic floor awareness in preparation for pushing during labor.
