Ahem, Pelvic Floor

[confusedfirsttimemum]

I should probably name change for this, but stuff it...

Since DD was born nearly a year ago my pelvic floor is not what it was. Despite religiously doing my exercises I still have to, ahem, hold it all in if I sneeze or run and sometimes have slight 'issues' if caught by surprise.

Has anyone had any success using one of those pelvic floor toner contraptions and, if so, which ones. My life is really too full already without attempting to get physio on the NHS, so I want to have given everything DIY a go first!

I had the best results with Pilates. Started classes when DD was about six months and it has helped a lot.

Ooh, yes, Pilates. My dd is also nearly a year old, and I've done some classes over the past couple of months - I would highly recommend it - great for the abs, too

Oh dear, I've been doing pilates and no improvement...

I had a simple op - day patient .
Think they support bladder with mesh .
( I was a bit head in sand )
But want to say - don't leave it as long as I did .
Go to GP and get referred - you might possibly be doing exercises wrong ,or maybe you need a repair job.
Good luck.

Im using one of those leg magic exercise thingys, apparently the in and out action of the legs using your own body weight as resistance is good for it, Im keeping at it as I would really like slimmer legs anyway and if it helps my pelvic floor that will be a bonus, but until then no one make me laugh!
