Struggling with back pain during pregnancy?

As your bump grows, your body works extra hard, and your back definitely feels it. The weight of your bump and baby pulls your hips forward, your lower back arches, and your glutes and core switch off, putting extra strain through your back.

That’s why it can be helpful to build strength to counteract that!

Targeted core, glute and postural stability training can make a huge difference in preventing back pain. At Alaga Therapy, we tailor safe, targeted exercises to your body, helping to strengthen your muscles and relieve the strain on your spine.

It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of a ‘perfect’ birth plan. You might think that if you map out exactly how the birth should go, you can go into it feeling a greater sense of predictability and control.

But the truth is, your labour doesn't always go according to plan, you may have to adapt, and that’s perfectly okay.

Real peace of mind doesn’t come from a rigid plan; it comes from knowing how you want to be supported. By focusing on what makes you feel safe and how you want to be cared for, you can create a flexible guide that keeps you grounded, no matter what happens.

For example, you might choose to prioritise:

→ Moving freely: Knowing you have the autonomy to stand, sway, or change positions rather than being confined to a bed. This allows you to listen to your body and work with gravity.

→ Your environment: Creating a calm space with dim lighting or familiar music to help you feel safe.

→ Clear boundaries: Feeling comfortable communicating your preferences regarding pain relief and examinations.

Sometimes the most positive birth experiences are the ones where women felt informed, supported, and actively involved in every decision, even when things don’t go exactly to plan.

If you’re preparing for a baby, building strength now can be the best gift to your future self.

It can not only help you push during labor, but also prepare your body for recovery post-partum as well.

That same foundation is also what helps support your tissue healing after a vaginal birth and guides your core through abdominal separation recovery.

By investing in your physical strength today, you are giving your body the support it needs to heal and adapt for the transition into motherhood with more ease and comfort 🤍

Anticipating the pain of labour can feel daunting. Your body is doing something powerful and unfamiliar and it's normal to wonder how you’ll handle it.

When you know the tools to work with your contractions, you can move through each wave with confidence instead of fear.

By understanding what your body needs at each stage, things will start to feel more manageable and less overwhelming.

When it comes to pushing techniques, many people aren’t actually taught how to do it.

You might feel like you need to switch everything ‘on’ all at once. In reality, a gentler, more coordinated approach often works better.

Keeping your jaw relaxed can help the pelvic floor stay more open and responsive, since they’re closely connected. When the jaw is soft, the pelvic floor tends to follow.

Take a deep breath in, then let your body gently push down in its own rhythm rather than forcing or straining. When it’s working well, you might notice a deeper sound that's almost guttural (like a small roar).

That’s simply your body working in its own strong, instinctive way and working with you, not against you.

If you’d like more personalised guidance on pushing techniques, we can help coach you through the technique verbally or with ultrasound.

A surprising number of people picture labour as laying back on a bed - but you’ve got a whole menu of positions to choose from, and most of them don’t involve being flat on your back at all.

Staying upright and mobile in early labour is well accepted by women and can help things feel more bearable. A deep squat can be particularly helpful, as it encourages the pelvis to open and the pelvic floor to be lengthened and more flexible.

Positions don’t need to change throughout labour, unless you have an epidural, and you can stick with whatever feels most supportive for your body as things progress.

If you are trying to decide if a C-section is right for you, it can help to know how the physical healing process differs from a vaginal birth.

While your major milestone timelines are similar to a vaginal birth, your focus moves toward supporting your abdominal incision wound rather than your perineum (even down to the way you get out of bed).

It is also common to experience post-surgery nerve changes like numbness or tingling around your scar, which is just a normal part of how the tissue heals. You may also want to discuss with your OB or your physio treatment options if you have a history of keloid scars.

No matter which path you choose, going into birth equipped with the right information and strategies is the best way to feel prepared for your own recovery.

When we think about preparing for a baby, it's easy to focus on the nursery, hospital bag and birth plan.

But your body deserves preparation too 🤍

I’ll never advocate for a perfect birth or a strict birth plan, there are far too many variables at play! I will ALWAYS recommend education to my mums-and-dads-to-be.

Education is empowerment when you’re in the delivery room (or the birth pool). Understanding your body and your options can make labour and recovery feel less like the great unknown, and it’s a great way to have less regrets when bub is earth side.

If you’d like personalised support to prep your pelvic floor during your pregnancy, we’re here to help.
