If you're experiencing pelvic heaviness beyond that initial eight weeks postpartum,

this is definitely a sign that you're wanting to get some more higher touch,

individualized support on board and getting a plan in place to help you understand and know

how to rebuild your pelvic floor and court connection, how to make sure that you're feeling

educated in what pelvic heaviness or prolapse symptoms might be.

And then also feeling reassured too because typically majority of prolapse symptoms can be

conservatively managed with education, lifestyle modification, understanding like toileting positions

and bearing down and how to contract appropriately.

And just with conservative exercises, that majority of people that are experiencing pelvic

heaviness or prolapse symptoms don't need to get surgery or anything like that.
