20. Pregnancy, Poops & Period Pain: What Every Woman Should Know About Pelvic Floor Health

Find Chloe:WebsiteInstagramPodcastWhen most women hear pelvic floor, they think pregnancy, birth or “that’s something I’ll deal with when I’m older.” But the pelvic floor is deeply connected to your bladder, bowels, period pain, gut symptoms, sexual function - and even your ability to fully relax.In this episode, I’m joined by Chloe from The Lady Physio, a pelvic floor physiotherapist with nine years’ experience helping women improve their quality of life through better pelvic health. Together, we unpack why so many women experience gut issues, constipation, pain, or urgency without realising the pelvic floor is part of the picture.This episode is genuinely eye-opening - especially if you’ve ever struggled with constipation, endo pain, incomplete evacuation, pain with sex, bloating flares, or that feeling of “something’s not quite right.”Free offerings to get you started -FREE bloating masterclass ⁠here⁠Work with me Book a 1:1 consult⁠ ⁠with this link⁠⁠Sign up to the gut compass ⁠here⁠In this episode we’ll unpack:What pelvic floor physio actually is (and why it’s not just for postpartum)Why symptoms often first appear during pregnancy or menopauseHow constipation can be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction — even if your diet is greatSigns that your pelvic floor might not be relaxing properlyThe sneaky link between endometriosis, chronic pain and a “switched-on” pelvic floorWhy tightness (not weakness) causes symptoms for many gym-goersHow pelvic floor tension can trigger gut symptoms or worsen period painWhy learning to relax the pelvic floor is just as important as learning to contract itI created With Blu because I know firsthand how frustrating gut and skin issues can be- and I also know that quick fixes don’t work.
