If you’re suffering from prolapse, you’re probably embarrassed, frustrated and feeling helpless.
I see this a lot, since thankfully, many women turn to Pilates in hopes of getting their pelvic floor strengthened.
A few months ago I started coaching a young woman (through my online coaching program), who gave birth to a baby boy just 5 months ago.
When she took the baby home from the hospital, her core and pelvic floor were so weak, she couldn’t pick up the baby without severe leakage of urine.
She was hoping her body would return to normal over the course of a few months, but it just wasn’t happening.
Summer went by and she was too embarrassed to go to the beach or wear a summer dress.
She also feared another pregnancy, which created tension in her relationship. She was on the verge of opting in for surgery.
Thankfully, she found me and we started working together. Just in a couple of weeks, she noticed she was able to engage her core and hold her baby boy without the fear of wetting herself.
We were both so excited and fired up to make even more progress!
It’s been about 3 months that we started working together and she’s feeling much more confident in her body, is able to recruit her pelvic floor and the muscles that support her internal organs.
If you can resonate with my client’s story, I want you to know, you’re not alone!
50% of childbearing women will develop prolapse, ranging from mild to severe.
Even though prolapse is not a life threatening condition, it will definitely change your life.
Some of the symptoms:
– discomfort and heaviness in the vagina
– incontinence / leakage
– lower back pain
– increased discomfort with long periods of standing
– difficulties using the toilet
It can take 20-30 years for prolapse to develop. Whether you had a baby 8 months ago or 20 years ago, you will always be postpartum as your body will never be the same.
