018. The Cash Grab of Pregnancy and Postpartum: What Do We Really Need? - with Dr. Emily

Welcome, Mamas!

My name is Dr. Emily and I am a:

• Bible-believing Christian
• Happy Wife
• Mama of 3 under 3
• Pelvic Health Physical Therapist
• Certified Pre and Postnatal Fitness Coach

I started @pelvic.floor.fit to inspire, educate, and empower mamas to achieve:

• a pain-free pregnancy
• the birth of their dreams
• a confident postpartum recover

Join me as I discuss everything from preconception to menopause with your pelvic health and fitness needs. It is my passion to make these topics easy to understand and practical to apply to even the busiest of seasons.

Today I want to address the massive cash grab of pregnancy and postpartum and why I preach that minimalism is not only best for your bank account but also for your long-term health.

Firstly, we discuss pregnancy pillows and belts. Why they have become popular but why they may actually be a poor investment for your joint stability in the long run.

Secondly, I explain why I am not a proponent of belly binders and what I encourage mamas to focus on during postpartum recovery to optimize their healing process.

At the end of the day, these are all TOOLS - but they are being used as bandaids to fix problems that have deep underlying causes worth addressing.
