Your sleeping position can affect more than your comfort. đź’¤
As a new mom, you may find yourself sleeping in whatever position lets you get a few precious hours of rest—but the way you position your body can influence how much pressure and tension your pelvic floor experiences.
If you’re sleeping curled up, constantly holding your baby, or waking up with pelvic pressure, tension, or discomfort, it may be worth paying attention to how your body is positioned.
Your pelvic floor is part of your core—and it works together with your diaphragm, abdominal muscles, hips, and spine. Supporting your body with pillows and finding a comfortable, supported position can help reduce unnecessary tension while you rest.
And remember: pelvic floor care doesn’t stop when pregnancy ends. Your body deserves support during postpartum recovery, too. 🤍
If you’re experiencing leaking, pelvic pressure, pain, heaviness, or discomfort, a pelvic floor physical therapist can help you understand what’s going on and create a plan tailored to your body.
