The Postpartum Care Gap: Moms Deserve Better!
In our healthcare system, postpartum care is often lacking and overlooked—yet this is one of the most critical times for a woman’s body. After months of pregnancy and the demands of labor and delivery, many women are sent home with little more than a “see you in six weeks” appointment. But what about the pain, the weakness, the changes in their body that impact their daily life?
Too many women struggle in silence with:
💔Pelvic floor dysfunction – leakage, prolapse, or painful intercourse
💔Core weakness & diastasis recti – a lingering “mom pooch” or back pain
💔Low back, hip & neck pain – from lifting, feeding, and carrying their baby
💔Scar tissue issues – from C-sections or perineal tearing
💔Exhaustion & overwhelm – feeling unsupported in their recovery
Postpartum is forever—not just the first six weeks. Women deserve care that helps them heal, restore their strength, and feel supported in their journey.
