Nature's miracle of birth conveniently glosses over the horrifying mechanical reality that violently pushing a tiny human through your pelvis basically detonates your pelvic floor. The levator ani muscle is stretched over three times its normal length during delivery—a trauma that would surgically sideline a professional athlete for months. Yet society just tells women to 'do some Kegels,' completely ignoring that without intensive physical therapy, a massive prolapse of the bladder or uterus is practically inevitable decades later.
