The Real and Raw Truth: What You and Your Daughters Will Know About Pelvic Floor Health That Your Grandma and Mom Never Did By: Dr. Betty DeLass, PT, DPT
The Real and Raw Truth: What You and Your Daughters Will Know About Pelvic Floor Health That Your Grandma and Mom Never Did
At Breezy Babies, we’re all about supporting women through every stage of motherhood — from birth to breastfeeding and beyond. But today, we’re pulling back the curtain on a topic that’s been hidden for generations: pelvic floor physical therapy with some of our favorites in the industry: Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness with CEO/Owner Dr. Betty DeLass, PT, DPT
Our grandmas and even our moms didn’t talk about leaking urine when they laughed. They didn't mention the pain they felt during intimacy, the pressure that made them feel like "something was falling out," or the postpartum healing they never really got.
In fact, most of them were told these struggles were just “part of being a woman.”
But we’re done keeping silent. You deserve the truth — and so do your daughters.
Here’s what we know now (and wish our moms and grandmas had known too):
1. Leaking Is Common, But Not Normal
How many times have you heard, “Oh, just wait until you have kids — you’ll pee when you sneeze!”
It’s almost treated like a badge of motherhood.
But guess what? You don't have to live with that.
Pelvic floor therapy can retrain your muscles to work the way they’re supposed to — meaning no more crossing your legs in fear every time you cough, jump, or laugh.
2. Pain During Intimacy Is a Red Flag — Not Your "New Normal"
Pain with sex after having a baby? "Normal," they said.
Told to “just relax” or “give it time”? Yep.
The truth? Pain is your body's way of saying it needs help — and pelvic floor physical therapy can make a massive difference.
Scar tissue, muscle tension, or weakness are treatable. You don’t have to suffer silently.
3. Your Core Is More Than Just “Getting Your Abs Back”
Your core isn't just about that six-pack you had in high school. It's your entire support system: your abdominals, diaphragm, back muscles, and (yep) your pelvic floor.
Issues like diastasis recti (ab separation), c-sections, and back pain are tied to core dysfunction — something pelvic floor PT addresses directly.
4. Healing Is Possible At ANY Stage
It doesn’t matter if you had your last baby 6 months ago, 6 years ago, or even 26 years ago — healing is still possible.
Many women think they missed their "window" because no one told them help was available.
Pelvic floor therapy meets you where you are, at any age or stage of life. Yes, that means go tell your mom and grandma to make an appointment too!
5. You Deserve Better Than "Just Do Some Kegels"
If only it were that simple, right?
The advice to “just do Kegels” misses a big piece of the puzzle.
Some women actually need to learn to relax their pelvic floor instead of constantly tightening it. Pelvic floor therapy gives you a customized plan — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Let’s Change the Story for US and OUR DAUGHTERS!
Imagine a world where your daughter grows up knowing what her pelvic floor is — where she understands her body, trusts it, and knows exactly where to turn for help if she needs it.
No shame. No suffering in silence. No more thinking that leaking, pain, or weakness are just the “price” of womanhood.
We get to be the generation that breaks the cycle.
We get to normalize conversations about real healing.
And it starts with you.
At Reborn Pelvic Health & Wellness (www.rebornphw.com), we’re proud to offer support, education, and trusted referrals for pelvic floor therapy so you can thrive — not just survive — in motherhood and beyond.
You (and your daughters) deserve to live in strong, confident bodies, for life.
