I leak a little when I sneeze after birth — what do I do

This happens to a lot of women after birth, and it's worth talking about rather than putting up with silently. It can usually be sorted.

You start with breathing and gentle pelvic floor work: what matters isn't how hard you squeeze but being able to relax and engage the muscles at the right moment. Impact load — running, jumping — only gets in the way at this stage.

In the recovery program these sessions come from the very first weeks, well before any strength work.
