But this is simply not true. In this revolutionary resource, you''ll learn what happens to the body during pregnancy and childbirth, common changes in function and feeling, and solutions for healing, written with expertise from a pelvic floor physical therapist who wants you to know that you can feel like yourself again - physically and mentally.

While your body is undoubtedly different (after all, you just grew a new human!), you do not have to live with pain, incontinence, weakness or nursing/feeding stress. You now hold the tools and techniques you need to heal and nourish your body and mind.
