Haemorrhoids can be one an uncomfortable and confronting part of postpartum recovery.
They can sting, bleed, throb, or ache—sometimes all at once—and often show up at a time when you're already physically, mentally, and emotionally vulnerable.
What’s worse is how often people are told it’s just something to put up with. Or they’re handed a cream, told to “eat more fiber,” or given vague advice.
This guide was created to offer something different.
Something rooted in lived experience and movement science.
Something that supports your pelvic floor, your nervous system, and your whole self—not just the symptom.
Inside, you’ll find:
✅ A simple, clear explanation of why haemorrhoids are so common after birth (and why it’s not your fault)
✅ Insights into how tension, posture, and pressure habits affect healing
✅ Two movement practices—internal rotation and a puppy pose variation—to support pelvic floor release without gripping
✅ Everyday strategies that support softness, coordination, and relief—without relying on Kegels or rigid routines
✅ Supportive language that helps you feel informed, seen, and less alone
It’s designed to provide an understanding of what’s going on in your body and suggest ways to support yourself that feel realistic and doable—even when you’re exhausted or overwhelmed.
Whether you’re weeks, months, or years postpartum, this guide offers a compassionate place to start.
Written by a pelvic floor coach with nearly a decade of experience (and the lived experience of postpartum symptoms herself), it brings together whole-body knowledge and gentle care—without shame, pressure, or overwhelm.
You deserve to feel confident in your body again.
