Taking Care of Your Body After Baby: What to Know About Pelvic Floor Recovery
Having a baby is a big deal — emotionally and physically. After childbirth, a lot of women experience changes in their pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowel, and they can get stretched or weakened during pregnancy and delivery. That can lead to things like leaking when you sneeze, feeling less sensation during sex, or just a general sense of things not being as strong "down there."
One way some women support their recovery is by using vibrating pelvic trainers, like the MYK massager. These trainers send gentle vibrations that can help wake up the muscles, improve circulation, and gradually bring back tone and strength. The idea is that even just a few minutes of use — about 5 to 10 minutes a day or every other day —can help your body bounce back a bit more smoothly.
Unlike traditional pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels), which take a bit of focus and effort, these kinds of devices are usually hands-free and more passive. That means you can use them while lying down, reading, or just taking a break. For new parents short on time, that can be a big plus.
Another thing some people notice is an improvement in sensation and intimacy over time. When the muscles get stronger and blood flow improves it can sometimes make sex feel better too — which is a nice bonus as your body adjusts to its new normal.
Every body is different, and it is a good idea to talk to your doctor or a pelvic floor specialist if you’re not sure what’s right for you. But if you’re looking for simple ways to support your recovery, tools like these might be worth exploring.
