PSA: Toilet Talk 🚽

Did you know our bodies are designed to squat to use our bowels?

When we sit on a toilet with our feet on the ground it becomes harder for us to completely empty. This can lead to straining which can lead to:
• Prolapse
• Haemorrhoids
• Incomplete emptying
• Pain especially after birth

So how do we fix this? We replicate a squat! We can do this by:
• Having our feet wide on a stool
• Leaning forward
• Relaxing through the tummy and hips
• Making a “moo” sound + deep breathing

Grab yourself a stool and have it handy in the bathroom when you need to use your bowels!

More useful info like this is in the pregnancy and postnatal info booklets included in every bundle.

Let’s talk using your bowels after birth (and in general) 💩

Often considered a “taboo” topic, healthy bowel habits are super important for your recovery and your day-to-day pelvic floor function.

Merry Christmas from Embrace by Molly 🎅🏻🎄

I have been overwhelmed with the interest, orders and love for my little bundles these last few months.

I just want to give a big thanks to these two super mums in the photo with me. They have helped with countless hours of phone calls, number crunching, planning and packing to get Embrace to where it is today.

We will be taking a little break and be back from 8th January xx

And the winner is…

It’s probably about time I introduced myself. I’m Molly 👋 I’m a physio in Bendigo working in women’s health.

Through my work on the maternity ward and in the community, I had the idea to start to give women the tools and the knowledge to help with their postnatal recovery.

All too often women are told that issues they have during and after pregnancy are “normal” just because they’ve had a baby. This can make women feel isolated, embarrassed and self conscious and can stop them from doing the things they love.

If even one woman out there feels more in control and supported during her postnatal recovery then I will have achieved my goal!

I’m excited to see where Embrace takes me, thanks for joining me for the ride.

“Urinary incontinence is normal after having babies”
🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

This is something I hear SO often but couldn’t be further from the truth. Whilst urinary incontinence can be common, it is definitely NOT normal and can be helped!

So what should you do if you experience any urinary incontinence?
See a pelvic floor physio for an individualised assessment and management!

How can you help to prevent urinate incontinence during pregnancy and after delivery?
• Strengthen your pelvic floor
• Manage constipation
• Ensure you’re emptying your bladder fully
• Ensure you can fully relax pelvic floor

Every Embrace bundle includes a Physio Recovery Booklet with information for your postpartum recovery, including the Embrace 6 week pelvic floor strength program.

Did you know that every bundle comes with a physiotherapy Recovery Guide?🤱

This guide contains essential information to help mummas with their recovery.

Every guide contains info about:
• Abdominal Recovery
• Pelvic floor recovery
• Exercise guidance
• Caesarean section guidance

AND a 6 week pelvic floor training program!

The more you know, the more confident you can feel in your body and in your recovery ❤️

How great are the water bottles?

They are stainless steel and have a carabiner so you can clip on your nappy bag or pram and take wherever you go 🚶‍♀️

What are the benefits of drinking water in your postpartum recovery?
💧 Helps to keep your bowels regular
💧 Helps to avoid bladder irritation
💧 Assists with milk supply

How much water each day?
This is a tough one and depends on your body, the weather and what you’re doing! I guide my clients to:
💧 Ensure your urine is a clear light yellow
💧 Take note of their bowels- often not enough fluid contributes to constipation

Each Complete Bundle comes with an Embrace water bottle

Big thanks to for the bottles!
