I've lost my pelvic floor...

[millimat]

Never been great since dd2, and i suffer with stress incontinence. At moment I've got a hacking cough and every time I cough I manage to flood the place. I should have shares in tena lady
If I went to my gp what would happen? I know I shouldn't be embarrassed but I'm mortified.

someone on Mn left this link a while back and I had a look. Michelle is brilliant and will answer your questions on the site- anon.

There are loads of instructions and even videos on the site showing you what to do.

It might take 6 months but she says you ought to get some improvement in a few weeks.

3 x 10 squeezes every day but read all the info so you do them properly.

p,s, your GP could refer you to a women's physio where they will teach you to do the exercises, and may even give you some electrical stimulation - you didn't expect that on the NHS did you?

Give a shout out for Gussiegrips- she's on here.

here she is on Youtube

Thanks for your replies. I do go through phases of doing the exercises but am dreadful at remembering to keep them up.
Great you tube clip.
Think a physio is the way forward...

I think Michelle has devised some sort of reminder app that you can download.
One tip someone told me was every time you have a cuppa- ie 5 times a day maybe?

You can get apps on your phone as well, if that helps? They both remind you and tells you how long to do the exercises for.

Yes you should do the exercise but they may not be enough.

Go to your gp.. you'll wish to had done it a lot sooner.
