Pelvic Floors

[Coolbeans2010]

Hi ladies - wasn't sure where to put this thread so hope ok here.

I know I only had Isla on Monday and I had an episiotomy but the midwife has stressed how important it is to start pelvic floor exercises ASAP.

Is it normal after having episiotomy and stitches that I can't feel mine yet? I tried to find them by holding my wee mid stream but I can't hold it! Once I start I can't stop!! Should I be worried or is it just early days?

Xx

Def early days Hun don't worry you'll feel them again soon. I'm still doing mine (when I remember) still not totally back to normal but getting there x

It takes a while hun, like months! So yes, do your exercises but don't stress about the sensations just yet x

With my first son I had no pelvic floor for a short while but it eventually came back! Had a few embarrassing toilet moments early on though!!! Ha. Second time around it felt normal after a day! xxx
