pelvic floor excercise & perineal massage

[annem]

so then in all honesty how many pelvic floor excersises are you doing a day? i keep forgetting to do them!!

has any1 started perineal massage?

Different websites say different times to start perineal massage but as i've had a couple of scares i thought i should start early. I thought it would be a good excuse for a bit of slap & tickle with my OH but he says i have to do it alone!!

 

[lisa&alex]

god can u do it on ur own? lol??? i can just about reach round to femfresh myself lol...i didnt do it with charl and i tore.. so i think its worth doing it if it means u might get away with tearing?

oh and i hardly do any pelvic floors.. naughty me

 

[annem]

yeah i'm fine to do it myself atm but thats a good point i won't be able to soon!!

 

[fothers]

Not tried the massage either yet- might start that ordeal in a couple of weeks.....

i'd never heard of it till my hypno-birthing course!! It's to help prevent tearing when you give birth!!

wont stretching your perenium will give you a big slack fanny

I hadn't even thought about pelvic floor exercises, it feels like a cave after the birth anyway

Never did any perenial massage when pg with James, don't think I;ll bother this time either. Even shaving my legs is a hassle these days

i don't think your be able to stretch it by massage as much as a baby coming out of it will i'm hoping the massage will make it more felxible so it can just pop back to how it was!!-yeah right!

I'm having a section so it might be a bit odd if I started it!! Pelvic floor is shot so I really ought to do those anyway
