Why is it so Hard to get Pelvic Floor Help?

Mamas, you don’t want to miss this one.

In this week’s episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are chatting about one woman’s real-life experience with trying to get pelvic floor help after giving birth.

While telling this story, Dr. Marcy discusses a common theme she sees in her practice: women who are brushed off over and over when trying to seek help with their pelvic floor following delivery.

Well-meaning medical providers are simply not versed in women’s pelvic floor conditions, which sadly leaves many women uncomfortable and left in pain because they are led to believe there isn’t much to do. In this episode, you’ll hear about one of Dr. Marcy’s patients and her emotional experience with giving birth, symptoms she began noticing while she was postpartum, and why it was so difficult for her to finally be seen by a pelvic floor PT.

Bringing up Mama

In this week’s episode, motherhood wellness expert Alyson Hempsey and women’s health expert and pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Marcy Crouch are discussing Alyson’s reaction to reading the book, “Bringing up Bebe” by Pamela Druckerman and the differences between American and French parenting styles.

According to the book, one of the main takeaways is that children (in France) exist in the parent’s world, as opposed to the parents' world revolving around the kids.

Alyson and Marcy discuss how this relates to American moms, the childcare crisis we find ourselves in, and the loss of identity many American mothers face after giving birth.

Listen up, mamas. Want to know the best parenting method out there? It’s called the “You do you, boo,” method of parenting. You’re welcome.
