Birth Ready Guide

The evidence-based guide to preparing your body for labor and recovery, from a Doctor of Physical Therapy.Your OB will help you plan for delivery day. But who's helping you prepare your body for what comes after?
This free guide covers what most providers don't have time to tell you:
• how to prep your pelvic floor before birth (not just kegels)
• the real postpartum recovery timeline (hint: it's not 6 weeks)
• exercises to reduce tearing risk and improve pushing
• what to have ready for YOUR recovery when you get home
• C-section vs. vaginal: what's actually different
Created by Dr. Llani Shirman, DPT, because you deserve more than a 15-minute checkup at 6 weeks.
