Pelvic floor exercise is not only a useful exercise to do during pregnancy but also equally afterwards. In fact, anyone should make it a habit to do some pelvic floor exercise regularly.
The pelvic floor is a large group of muscles stretching from side to side across the floor of the pelvis. The openings from your bladder, your bowels and your womb all pass through your pelvic floor.
Natural ageing, pregnancy and childbirth are some of the main causes for a weakened pelvic floor. A strong pelvic floor helps support your abdomen organs, and prevents incontinence.
How do I do my pelvic floor exercise?
Contract your back passage, vagina and front passage and lift up inside as if trying to stop passing urine and hold the muscles strong and tight as you count to 8 then let go and relax. Repeat this set for up to 3 times with a little rest in between each set. This exercise may be done on a daily basis. You may do this exercise lying down, sitting or standing. Once you get the hang of it, there is nothing simpler and the beauty is you can do this exercise virtually anywhere anytime. While watching TV, changing your baby, commuting, during meetings!
As a safety measure, consult a your doctor before you engage yourself in any form of exercise.
