There was a good article in Natural Parenting Magazine about "Pelvic Floor Consciousness",not just how to do the exercises but how to tell if they are switched on etc, I have the article at home but am in Sydney this week for the birth international workshops, send me an email if you want more details about it.

Hi Linda, 
Yes, I am researching it extensively.  It helps that I am very interested in this topic due to the fact that my nana needed surgery to correct uterine prolapse (I think that's what she had anyway, it wasn't something discussed over Christmas lunch!), and that I have had four good size bubs.  I guess I am curious to see if I should be concerned :)   Anyway, the story is for body and soul in the Sunday Telegraph, sometime later in the year.  All of the stories are online, so I will let you know when it goes in.

RE: [ozmidwifery] pelvic floor information

[adamnamy]

I recall reading something in the Australian
and New Zealand Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology mid last year about
pelvic floor and what actually does the damage.  You could try a search- Odd
place though it might seem to find supportive information.

Good Luck,

Amy

I think there was some research that c-section does not prevent incontinence, 
as previously thought. Would that be of any help, Kylie?

Skipping isn't bad either if you don't have a trampoline on tap.

RE: [ozmidwifery] pelvic floor information

[Megan & Larry]

Ideally we all can benefit from pelvis floor excercises, 
including men.
 
My dad had his prostate removed recently for cancer 
and I told him to start and excercise his pelvic floor pre-surgery to help with 
his recovery. He told his specialist what I said and he thought it was an 
excellent idea. Interestingly my Dad noticed improvement with his "weeing" 
just from this and did have a good recovery.
 
Anyway, just my two bits,
 
Megan
 
PS trampolines are an excellent way to find out how strong 
your pelvic floor is, or isn't as you may find out. 
Hehehehe

information


Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction with some 
research I am doing for a story on the importance of pelvic floor 
exercises.  A lot of women are led to believe - I guess, by scalpel-happy 
OB's - that a weakened pelvic floor can be avoided a by having a 
c-section.  I recall, some time last year, reading an article disproving 
this theory, but, of course cannot remember where I read it.  If there 
is anyone who can help me out here, I would greatly appreciate if you could 
let me know.  Any other thoughts on the topic would be welcomed also.
Best wishes
