Pelvic floor exercises..
I cant do them, I've tried loads of times, but apparently if your stomach or bottom clenches as well your doing it wrong.
I feel like an idiot, I dont want to be incontinent after birth but really feel like I cant try any harder
Please help, how do you do them properly??
Currently 28wks with first baby

Thanks for the info on the Aquaflex. Having read the nursing times article I now gratefully realise you put the weight inside the cone and it doesn't hang out! Had imagined walking around with a weight hanging out, then I wondered how you went running with one in!!!!!!
LOL!

Yes useful HPFA esp about the weight frustration, I was finding that one day I could do one weight and the next not - thought it was just me! Will keep preserving.

Hello,

I'm on the lookout for women who have or are experiencing incontinence issues, or bladder weakness. Perhaps you've been caught short whilst out in public, or you may be worried about talking with a partner about this?

I'd love to hear from any women who would be happy to speak about their experiences to the media, as part of an awareness campaign, aimed at breaking taboos and helping women feel comfortable about talking about incontinence.

Anyone taking part will receive £100 worth of high street vouchers and all travel and expenses will be covered.

We'd need your availability on Tuesday, 3rd July 2018.

If you think you would like to be involved, please contact Erica - [email protected]

Thank you,
Erica
