Brittany Mahomes revealed on Wednesday that she had broken her back and urged mums to take their pelvic floor health seriously.
“Just a daily reminder: Once you have children, take care of your pelvic floor. Seriously,” Mahomes wrote on a Instagram History.
“From: A girl with a broken back,” she signed the message.
Mahomes and her Super Bowl winning husbandSuper star Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs quarterbackshare two children together: 3 year old daughter Sterling Skye and son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, born in November 2022.
The pelvic floor is made up of muscles that surround the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, bowel and uterus, and control their functions. Childbirth is a major contributing factor to pelvic floor disorders because it stretches the muscles, according to UCLA Health.
Although Mahomes did not reveal the exact cause of her broken back, she offered a positive reflection on her story.
“But maybe going on vacation with my friends will improve things?” Mahomes wrote on a photo of Patrick Mahomes holding their daughter's hand.
With the NFL season over, the Mahomes have some time on their hands. The family was recently at Disneyland following the Chiefs' most recent Super Bowl victory.
