Mama Care
FOR PREGNANCY, BIRTH & RECOVERY
Mama Care
Pelvic Health Masterclass
Prepare | Protect | Prevent & Recover
Preparing for your baby should also include preparing for your recovery.
Why Mama Care is Different
Most antenatal preparation focuses on labour, birth and caring for your baby. Pelvic health may be covered only briefly, even though pregnancy and birth can affect your pelvic floor, abdominal recovery, bladder and bowel health, sexual wellbeing, exercise and return to everyday life.
Mama Care focuses on you as well as your baby.
Learning about your pelvic health before birth gives you time to understand your body, practise useful strategies and prepare for recovery—rather than waiting until a problem develops.
Does this sound like you?
You may be:
Worried about tearing, labour pain or how to push.
Unsure how to prepare your pelvic floor for birth.
Overwhelmed by conflicting pregnancy advice.
Wondering which exercises are safe.
Concerned about diastasis or recovery.
Keen to return to exercise and sex confidently.
Looking for more pelvic health guidance than an antenatal class provides.
After Mama Care you will be better prepared to
Understand your pelvic floor and core.
Use practical labour and pushing strategies.
Prepare your perineum using evidence-informed approaches.
Exercise safely during pregnancy.
Plan for recovery and return to activity.
Recognise problems and know when to seek help.
Support bladder, bowel, abdominal and sexual wellbeing.
Whether this is your first baby or you have given birth before, Mama Care gives your pelvic health and recovery the dedicated attention they deserve.
Birth cannot be completely planned or predicted.
Mama Care helps you understand what you can influence, so you can approach birth and recovery feeling better informed and prepared.
“Preparing for your baby should also include preparing for your recovery.”
