Why Your Pelvic Floor Suffers Postpartum (And How Hormones Play a Role) With Cheyenna, DNP, FNP-C

After having a baby, so many women are surprised by how much their body still feels "off" — especially when it comes to their pelvic floor. Bladder leaks with sneezing, painful sex, pressure or heaviness, and even overactive bladder are incredibly common postpartum, but they’re not just from childbirth itself. In this episode, Cheyenna, DNP, FNP-C, dives deep into how major hormonal shifts after delivery — especially drops in estrogen — directly impact pelvic floor tissue health, strength, and healing. If you’re breastfeeding, those hormone changes can last even longer, leaving many moms struggling without clear answers (until now).

Recognizing the impact of postpartum hormones is essential for restoring optimal pelvic floor function. Cheyenna discusses how these hormone-driven changes influence tissue integrity, muscle coordination, and bladder control, and why targeted, evidence-based rehabilitation is critical for lasting recovery. Whether you are early postpartum or have been navigating these symptoms for years, this conversation provides clear, clinical guidance to help you heal, regain confidence, and feel strong in your body again.

I would love to invite you to my course ⁠Stop Peeing Your Pants , where you can get rid of this problem all together, and become leak-free in 90 days or less! We really shouldn’t have an issue with holding our bladder and there is always a deeper cause. For example, when I was dealing with urge incontinence, my root cause was the food/drinks that were in my diet because there were so many bladder irritants I was consuming. I lead you through all of this, the education, workouts, and have a plan on a calendar, a 1:1 session with me, private facebook group for Q & A’s! Check out both tier options below!
