  Episode 72: Becky and Jessica's Most Prescribed Strengthening Exercises

  Jul 28, 202627 min

  In this episode, we’re talking all about strength training after pregnancy and the exercises we find ourselves prescribing again and again for our postpartum patients. Rather than sharing a generic list of “the best exercises” for a specific symptom, we’re breaking down the movements that we, as pelvic floor physical therapists specializing in perinatal health, use most often to help people rebuild strength, stability, and confidence after pregnancy and birth. From side planks to lunges to bridges, we’re sharing why we love these exercises, how we modify them, and why finding the right version of an exercise for your current body is the key to progressing forward. Why these are our most prescribed postpartum strengthening exercises Why side planks are one of our favorite full-body “bang for your buck” exercises How pregnancy and birth impact strength, balance, and movement Why modifying an exercise doesn’t make it less effective Why lunges are essential for postpartum strength and returning to activity ✨ How we progress exercises from beginner to advanced variations Why Bulgarian split squats are challenging but incredibly effective Why bridges are a postpartum staple for rebuilding strength ️‍♀️ Why planks belong in almost everyone’s movement routine This week’s bird fact: chickens are smarter than we think! We hope this episode gives you a new perspective on strength training postpartum and reminds you that there is always a version of an exercise that meets you where you are. Whether you’re newly postpartum, returning to fitness, or working with postpartum patients yourself, we hope you find something useful in this conversation.

  Episode 70: Acupuncture Through Pregnancy, Birth Prep & Postpartum Recovery with Sadie from Sage Acupuncture

  Jun 30, 202643 min

  Acupuncture is one of those things that many people have heard of, plenty of people swear by, and yet most of us still aren't entirely sure how it works. In this episode, Becky sits down with Sadie, co-founder and Clinical Director of Sage Acupuncture in Austin, to explore how acupuncture can support people through pregnancy, labor preparation, and postpartum recovery. They discuss what acupuncture actually is, why it remains misunderstood despite a growing body of research, and how it fits into an integrated healthcare approach alongside pelvic floor physical therapy, obstetric care, mental health support, and nutrition. Sadie shares how acupuncture can help with everything from first-trimester nausea and anxiety to breech positioning, labor preparation, postpartum healing, and nervous system regulation. The conversation also dives into the realities of modern motherhood, the lack of postpartum support many families experience, and why sometimes the most powerful part of treatment is simply creating space to rest. In this episode: 💛 What acupuncture is and how it works 🤰 Acupuncture support during the first, second, and third trimesters 🤢 Nausea, fatigue, anxiety, insomnia, and other common pregnancy symptoms 👶 Acupuncture and moxibustion for breech positioning ⏳ When to start labor preparation acupuncture 🏥 Supporting inductions and preparing the body for labor 🌿 Postpartum healing, milk supply concerns, and recovery after birth 🧠 Nervous system regulation and the importance of rest 🤝 Why integrated care often leads to the best outcomes 🐦 A mysterious giant bird marks the end of a school year Pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery don't require you to choose between traditional medicine and complementary care. The goal is finding the right combination of support that helps your body heal, adapt, and thrive.

  Episode 69: Heated Rivalry, Second Babies, and the Existential Crisis of Loving Two Kids at Once

  Jun 16, 202646 min

  Appropriately and inappropriately, episode 69 starts with a very unexpected deep dive into the cultural phenomenon that is Heated Rivalry before shifting into an incredibly honest conversation about preparing for a second baby. Becky and Jessica talk about queer parenting, pregnancy from both the carrying and non-carrying partner perspective, the emotional whiplash of going from one kid to two, and the weird grief of realizing your first child won’t always have your undivided attention. It’s funny, vulnerable, a little chaotic, and deeply relatable for anyone navigating expanding a family while still trying to feel like a human being. In this episode: 📚 Enemies-to-lovers romance discourse gets surprisingly serious 🏒 Heated Rivalry fandom analysis from two pelvic floor PT moms 😴 The absolute dread of second-time postpartum sleep deprivation 👶 The emotional complexity of going from one kid to two 💔 Loving your first child so much it physically hurts to divide your attention 🤰 Pregnancy feels wildly different the second time around 🌈 Queer parenting and the experience of alternating who carries pregnancies 🩲 Postpartum recovery, cluster feeding, and losing all sense of modesty Turns out parenting conversations can go from gay hockey romance novels to existential discussions about sibling dynamics quite fluidly if we do say so ourselves.

  Episode 68: Pregnancy After Prolapse: Navigating Subsequent Pregnancies Without Fear

  Jun 9, 202624 min

  If you’ve had a difficult prolapse recovery after a previous birth, getting pregnant again can feel emotionally and physically overwhelming. In this episode, Becky dives into what actually happens to prolapse symptoms during subsequent pregnancies, what tends to aggravate symptoms, and what you can do to feel stronger and more supported throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery. This conversation is grounded in both clinical evidence and real patient experiences, including stories from women who once believed prolapse meant they could never have another pregnancy and are now confidently navigating third pregnancies with far fewer symptoms. Becky breaks down prolapse in approachable language while giving practical, realistic strategies for managing symptoms during pregnancy, lifting toddlers, exercising safely, handling constipation, and navigating the mental side of prolapse recovery. Whether you’re currently pregnant, thinking about another pregnancy, or still healing from your first postpartum experience, this episode offers reassurance, actionable tools, and a reminder that symptoms today are not necessarily your forever. In this episode: 💛 Pregnancy after prolapse can feel scary 🏋️ Why strength training can actually help prolapse symptoms 💨 Managing intra-abdominal pressure during lifting and exercise 🚽 Constipation, straining, and why stool softeners matter 👶 The reality of being pregnant while carrying a toddler 🩲 Compression garments and pessaries for symptom relief 🧠 The mental side of prolapse recovery and symptom flare-ups 🐦 Cockatiel emotions explained through their little feather crests Prolapse recovery is rarely linear—but needing modifications, support, or symptom management along the way does not mean your body is failing you.
