Listed below are links that our Physiotherapists feel you may find useful or beneficial. This list is not exhaustive, merely a selection of resources that we find helpful.
- SRC HEALTH – SRC make an excellent garment designed to support women during the post partum period.
- CHEZ MA BELLE – This is a lingerie shop in Geelong with an excellent selection of maternity bras, including maternity sports bras. You will often need to be fitted at multiple times while you are breastfeeding (if you are breastfeeding). We would suggest being fitted towards the end of your pregnancy, at around 6-weeks post partum, and often around 6-months post partum. You will often need to be fitted again once you finish feeding.
- AUSTRALIAN BREASTFEEDING ASSOCIATION – There are multiple different information pages here, of particular note is the return to exercise page.
- CONTINENCE AUSTRALIA – This website is fantastic and has a range of resources on the structure and function of the pelvic floor, pelvic floor exercises and information regarding continence.
- PELVIC FLOOR FIRST – This website is run by Continence Australia, with a bit more specific information on the post partum pelvic floor.
- PANDA – As the physical journey through the post partum journey varies, so does the emotional journey. PANDA is an amazing service that helps support the mental and emotional health and wellbeing of new and expectant parents.
