Early Postpartum Care: Why It Matters for Every New Mom

Pregnancy brings major changes to your core, pelvic floor, and overall mobility. Many women wait weeks—or even months—after delivery to seek help, but early postpartum care can make a big difference in recovery, comfort, and long-term wellness.

Whether it’s before delivery or in the first few weeks afterward, taking steps early can prevent common issues and support your body’s natural healing process.

Why Early Postpartum Care Is Important

Even one session before delivery can:

• Prepare your body for labor

• Teach you what to expect in the early postpartum days

• Provide strategies to protect your core and pelvic floor

  After delivery, a single postpartum session can help you:

• Assess recovery and pelvic floor function

• Begin safe, personalized exercises

• Prevent or minimize common issues such as incontinence, pelvic pain, or diastasis recti
