Postpartum Recovery Products Australia

Six weeks is a check-in point, not a finish line. Bleeding usually settles within about six weeks, while abdominal, pelvic floor and caesarean recovery continue over months. Your six-week postnatal check is the moment to raise anything that still doesn't feel right, physically or emotionally.

For day-to-day perineal cleansing, a peri bottle does the job for most people: warm water rinsed over the area while you're on the toilet. A sitz bath is a shallow, separate soak some people add for comfort. Start with the bottle and add a soak if you want one.

Many people start wearing postpartum compression in the first days after birth, including after a caesarean, and SRC's own guidance supports early wear. Timing still varies with your delivery and any complications, so clear it with your hospital team first and follow the brand's size guide closely.

It's common: around one in three women who have ever had a baby experience urinary leakage. But common doesn't mean permanent, and it isn't something you just have to put up with. If leaking persists past your six-week check, a pelvic health physiotherapist can assess what's going on.

Yes, especially in the first months: hormones, tissue recovery and sheer tiredness all play a part. Go slowly, use a good lubricant, and stop if anything hurts. Pain that keeps returning is worth raising with your GP or a pelvic health physiotherapist rather than pushing through.

Around six weeks postpartum is a common time for a pelvic floor assessment, whatever kind of birth you had. Book sooner if you have ongoing pain, leakage, heaviness or wound concerns. You don't need a GP referral to see a pelvic health physiotherapist in Australia.
