The idea of quickly bouncing back after childbirth often doesn’t reflect reality. Weeks and even months later, the body is still healing, hormones are adjusting, the pelvic floor is recovering, and energy levels can continue to fluctuate. This Mother’s Day, we explore what’s normal, what may need attention, and how to support your body without pressure or comparison, with women’s health physiotherapist Dr Nisha Kalia.
