The Other Birth Plan: Prepping Your Pelvic Floor for Delivery

There's plenty of advice about packing your hospital bag and setting up the nursery, but one of the most important parts of birth preparation is getting your body ready for labor. Join pelvic floor physical therapist Dr. Ashley Castellanos for a practical, empowering session on preparing your pelvic floor for delivery. You'll learn how your pelvic floor supports the birth process, why relaxation is just as important as strength, and how a few simple techniques can help you approach labor with greater confidence.

Drawing on her expertise in pelvic floor health and pregnancy, Dr. Ashley will walk through breathing strategies, pushing techniques, and ways to reduce the risk of perineal tearing during delivery. She'll also clear up common misconceptions about the pelvic floor and explain what effective birth preparation really looks like for expecting parents.

Whether you're preparing for your first baby or adding another little one to your family, you'll leave with practical tools you can begin using before labor starts. If you're looking for evidence-based guidance to help you feel more informed, prepared, and in control of your birth experience, this session is for you.
