Postpartum Issues

Body Concern

Pregnancy and childbirth are transformative experiences that can leave lasting changes to your body. At Unity by MD, we understand the unique challenges new mothers face and offer specialized treatments to help you feel strong, confident, and comfortable in your postpartum body.

Common Postpartum Concerns

Diastasis Recti

Diastasis recti is the separation of the abdominal muscles (rectus abdominis) that commonly occurs during pregnancy as the belly expands. This separation can persist after delivery, causing a visible bulge in the midsection, lower back pain, and weakened core stability.

Many women experience difficulty performing everyday activities like lifting their baby, standing up from a seated position, or maintaining good posture due to this muscle separation.

Abdominal Fat & Skin Laxity

Pregnancy stretches the abdominal skin and can lead to stubborn fat deposits that are resistant to diet and exercise. Loose skin and excess fat around the midsection are common concerns that can affect confidence and make it challenging to return to your pre-pregnancy shape.

Weakened Pelvic Floor

Pregnancy and vaginal delivery can weaken the pelvic floor muscles, leading to urinary incontinence (leaking when coughing, sneezing, or exercising), reduced sexual sensation, and pelvic organ prolapse. These issues can significantly impact quality of life and confidence.

Core Weakness

Beyond diastasis recti, overall core weakness is common postpartum. A weakened core makes it difficult to lift and carry your baby safely, maintain proper posture during feeding, and perform daily activities without strain or discomfort. Rebuilding core strength is essential for functional wellness and injury prevention.

Why Address Postpartum Changes?

Functional Wellness: Strengthening your core and pelvic floor improves your ability to care for your baby, reduces back pain, and prevents future injuries.

Confidence & Comfort: Addressing physical changes helps you feel more comfortable in your body and confident in your daily activities.

Long-Term Health: Treating pelvic floor weakness and diastasis recti early can prevent more serious complications later, such as pelvic organ prolapse or chronic pain.

Quality of Life: Regaining bladder control, core strength, and body confidence allows you to fully enjoy motherhood without physical limitations or embarrassment.
