What is a Mummy MOT?

The Mummy MOT is a fully comprehensive post natal check-up suitable any time from 6-8 weeks, no matter your birth journey. It includes disucssing through your general health, pregnancy and birth journey, assessing your posture, abdominals and pelvic floor as required. After your appointment you will be provided with a bespoke plan on how best to support your body in post natal recovery.

With a specialism in C section recovery, Suzy will often see’s some women prior to a planned C-section to help provide some education and how to manage during the early post natal days.

What do I need to know about my appointment?

Our clinics have free, on site parking and are fully accessible, meaning if you need to bring your newborn/child with any prams or carriers then you are more than welcome to. Suzy will work your appointment around any nappy changes, feeds or cuddles that your little one may be needing during this time.

Alternatively, should you wish to attend alone, weekend appointments are available if this helps with childcare options.

Appointments are approximately 45-60 minutes long and include a full bespoke written plan sent to you to help guide your post natal recovery.

Is it too late?

A question which is often asked is ‘can I still have a post natal check up?’. The answer is simply ‘yes’! It is recommended to wait to around 6-8 weeks post natal for your Mummy MOT assessment but even if you are months to years after having a baby and experience any of the following symptoms:

- Urinary Incontinence/Leaking

- Bowel Incontinence/Leaking

- Pelvic and Lower back pain

- Pain with sexual intercourse

- Loss of sensation or heaviness in pelvis

- Scar discomfort, tightness or pulling

Then it is recommended you are seen so we can support you to improve those symptoms as best and quick as possible.
