Today I'm joined by Heidi, women's health physiotherapist and the woman behind Women's Health with Heidi. With over a million followers, she's become a trusted voice in pelvic floor health and postpartum recovery.

We cover a lot of ground in this episode, and honestly, I think every pregnant and postpartum woman needs to hear it. In this episode, we talk about:

• Why recovery actually takes twelve to twenty-four months and not six weeks
• What the six-week check does and doesn't tell you about your body
• The truth about diastasis recti and why doing the wrong exercises too soon can set you back
• What's actually happening when everything feels heavy and like it might fall out
• Why getting out for a pram walk is genuinely one of the best things you can do for both your pelvic floor and your mental health in those early weeks.

This episode is brought to you by Bugaboo.

Getting out of the house in the fourth trimester can feel enormous — and having the right pram makes a real difference to whether you actually do it. The Bugaboo Kangaroo is designed exactly for that. All-terrain wheels, one-hand fold and steering, and an XL basket for everything you need to bring. It's a single pram now and a double later, with over 20 configurations to grow with your family. Bugaboo's first tandem pram in 25 years, built because Australian parents asked for it. A certified B Corp working toward net zero by 2035.
