1️⃣ Heaviness/pressure-like feeling around your vulva area
🔸After labor, especially for breastfeeding moms, connective tissues that support your organs are not as stable as they were pre-pregnancy. When we start to lift heavy or challenge our core stability more than our tissues can handle, there is a risk of developing organ prolapse.
2️⃣ Conning at your central abdominal line can indicate diastasis recti
🔸During the third trimester, having conning is normal but after labor, if you are still seeing conning when you do any core exercises and/or weight lifting movements then you might have developed diastasis recti.
3️⃣ Leakage during high-impact activities
🔸When doing exercises such as box jumps, double unders, and running if there is leakage, this can indicate stress urine incontinence.

If you notice these symptoms when you are at the gym, please reach out to a Pelvic Floor PT for an assessment to see whether you have a pelvic floor dysfunction
