The Dribble (Blogs are so boring)

Finding and activating your pelvic floor muscles is essential to performing Kegels correctly. We will go through this in detail and have you a Kegel Queen by the end!

So by now we are all familiar with Covid-19, the different variants, symptoms and some of the side effects but, have you thought about the effect it could potentially be having on your pelvic floor? Don’t worry we have you covered and we are going to tell you just that in this blog.

Pregnancy and childbirth can wreak havoc on the pelvic floor, but did you know how?

There is an expectation that leaking urine or having other symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction is normal when you become a mother which is not true at all. Yes, it's very common and nothing to be ashamed of but it's not normal and you do not have to accept it. 

In honour of our brand new eBook 'Gut Health' we wanted to repost one our previous blogs that really fits the theme! Keep your eyes peeled on our website for when you can grab your very own copy of this exciting new eBook.

Our gut is so complex that it is often referred to as our “second brain.” 

Your gut microbiota (gut flora) is the name given to the huge microbe population living in your intestine. It contains tens of trillions of microorganisms with around 1000 different types of bacteria

Kegel exercises are fabulous for strengthening and tightening the pelvic floor, but only if you actually remember to do them! Marrying up doing your kegel exercises with something else you already do every day is the ideal way to ensure you keep on track with doing your daily kegels.

I bet you had to read that heading a few times. When this woman told me THAT THIS was what her doctor had said to her, I was shocked and very outraged.

"It’s become apparent over the last few days that I potentially have a type of prolapse happening and am generally feeling quite unwell and uncomfortable.
A call to the doctor included this comment “if your vagina falls out, don’t worry it’s like a child’s stress toy, just pop it back in”

It was meant as help..it was a lady doctor and she was really nice about it but it entered me into a rabbit hole of research and realising how common prolapses are and how little is being done about them...lots of women are just living with it. Ladies...if you take anything from this post DO YOUR PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES EVERY DAY! RIGHT NOW..._DO THEM RIGHT NOW! ”
