A member asked:

How long after having a baby does it take for my pelvic floor to return to "normal"?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Good question!: This is not the answer you want to hear. Sometimes never. Most women have a little change that is permanent after a baby. Most women also get back to about 95% of normal in about 6 months though. Doing kegel exercises can help as can yoga. Good luck!
