To ask how many of you would go on a trampoline?

Trampolining without fear of dribbling a bit of pee?!!?
Females only to answer (I am guessing?).
Also have you given birth?

I'm currently pregnant with DC2 and even sneezing is a risk!! Normal or do I need to increase daily pelvic floor exercises to twice daily...

I have! I briefly took lessons and it never even occurred to me

But then I've not had babies so not sure it counts?

lifetothefull · 09/02/2017 21:39

always go to loo first and then I'm fine.

PassTheWineAndFags · 09/02/2017 21:39

Raaaaaah I had a hysteroplexy which hitches the womb to the base of the spine and mesh on vaginal walls to support bowel and bladder. I was scared to do it but it changed my life, pain free and feeling normal

FairfaxHigh · 09/02/2017 21:39

2DC, both vaginal deliveries, fall firmly into the "only do pelvic floor exercises when I'm reminded by reading the words pelvic floor" camp. Have been on a trampoline many times post-DC without even the slightest dribble. If only the rest of my muscles were in the slightest bit as toned I wouldn't have people asking when DC3 is due when DC3 is most definitely not on the way Grin

Billy I have twins by c section too and wondered if that was the case. Certainly have a weak bladder now!

Libitina · 09/02/2017 21:41

Can I also say though, those of you who do have a problem, PLEASE go and see your GP to get it sorted. It's not just 'one of those things' that women have to put up with post child birth anymore. There are many things that can be done to help. Please don't let the potential embarrassment put you off!!!

cheminotte · 09/02/2017 21:43

Yes I would love to. 2 DC here, one c/s one natural birth.

GoesDownLikeACupOfColdSick · 09/02/2017 21:45

I had a c section. Would trampoline (if I weren't such a fat twat) but have an awful cough at the moment and my god that has really really tested the pelvic floor Blush

SleightOfMind · 09/02/2017 21:46

4 DCs, all vbs. I'm 43.
Will merrily hic trampoline in the summer as long as I've just been to the loo and remember to remain quite clenched the whole time.

chitofftheshovel · 09/02/2017 21:46

Sheest. Reminds me of going on a trampoline when my youngest was 6 weeks old. It felt like my womb was going to fall out my fanny, rather disconcerting.

tankerdale · 09/02/2017 21:50

I would, for a bit, and have before in the privacy of my own garden. I've had 3dc vaginally and 3rd degree tear with dc2. Sneezing on a full bladder can be a problem but weirdly jumping on a trampoline isn't!

ASilhouetteAndNothingMore · 09/02/2017 21:51

Blush soo glad I found this thread.
I too will be getting some Tena before I go to the trampoline park again with DC.

ohidoliketobe · 09/02/2017 21:51

Another one who as soon as I started reading thought oh shit pelvis floor exercises. Been engaging thoughout.
I would definitely pee myself. DC2 is only 5 months old. I has that horrid virus after Christmas, you know the one with the barking cough. It was not pleasant! I was on afyer about 9 months with DC1, so hoping things will improve again.

< continues clenching >

PrettyPenguin12 · 09/02/2017 21:51

I would too! Love a trampoline. 1ds, emcs.

Would recommend the NHS Squeezy app. You can set it to go off at different times during the day to make sure you do the exercises.

WeShouldOpenABar · 09/02/2017 21:54

Im childless and going to bounce next week, terrified, I've an overly tight pelvic floor which is just as bad as loose, kegals make me worse, hoping my physio is doing some good

ObviousChild · 09/02/2017 21:54

I'm currently 7 months pregnant with DC2. Very optimistically bounced on a trampoline in the park the other day. Definitely did a bit of wee on the first bounce but by the time it came out I'd already committed to the second bounce. Then did a lot of wee.

Also practically pissed my pants another time when I had to run for the bus. And I missed the bastard.

I'm pretty sure this is just pregnancy related - I definitely didn't piss my pants this often before getting pregnant for the second time. So I'm hoping everything goes back to normal afterwards.

NotCitrus · 09/02/2017 21:54

I just booked to go trampolining with the kids. I'm worried about being exhausted after 5 minutes and just bobbing like a beached whale for the rest of the hour, but even though my pelvic floor isn't quite what it was, I'm not worried about that!

will make sure we go to the loo first though!

TheWoollybacksWife · 09/02/2017 21:55

Definitely. I love trampolining. 3DCs and a pelvic floor of steel. My biggest worry would be giving myself black eyes with my boobs and my sweaty face melting my polyfilla makeup.

LoupGarou · 09/02/2017 21:56

justdonteven thank you x

Questioningeverything · 09/02/2017 21:57

Isn't this sort of thing what Tena was created for?
Incidentally I won't go on a trampoline. Gives me an instant migraine aside from wet pants panic lol

Questioningeverything · 09/02/2017 21:59

Obvious, my second pregnancy was the same. Honestly I'm a walking advert for Tena

pudseypie · 09/02/2017 22:00

1 DC. Just come back from an hours boogie bounce trampoline class. No leaks here. Although I'm going to be paranoid forever more now...

MollyHuaCha · 09/02/2017 22:00

When I was at sch, we did a summer term of trampolining in PE when I was 13. It involved one girl at a time bouncing for a timed three minutes before her time was up and it was the next girl's turn (not a lot of exercise in that PE lesson then...). The trampoline was made of a webbing with lots of gaps. Beneath on the floor was a horrible puddle of wee. These girls (and I!) were 13 - 14.

Angelika321 · 09/02/2017 22:00

3 DC's here and was always ok on the trampoline until I went on wearing a moon cup! I actually thought it was going to pop out.

redexpat · 09/02/2017 22:01

DC2 is now 2 so I reckon I could.
