Pelvis

The pelvic floor is a layer of muscle that spans the area below the pelvis. It separates the abdominant cavity from the lower region. Because we walk upright, our pelvic floor has a lot weight to bear. Its job is to keep the openings of the body (vagina, urethra and rectum) "tight" and activate emptying as required. Your pelvic floor is under a lot of pressure during pregnancy and childbirth. The developing fetus and uterus add to the weight of your pelvic floor. Hormonal changes change the architect in the muscle layers to make them softer and more elastic for childbirth.

However, your pelvic floor is very soft and vulnerable to injury during the first few weeks after birth. Therefore, you should get great be sure to avoid heavy physical exertion during this period. You should not lift more than five to ten kilograms (11 to 22 pounds), which is the approximate weight of your baby in the carrier.
