If your pelvic floor routine is "remember at 10pm, panic, do three squeezes, fall asleep" — hi, I see you, I am you.

The Easy Kegel app actually helps you remember before bedtime. Revolutionary concept, I know.

🌸 Postnatal Pelvic Health: BOWEL HEALTH 🌸

Taking care of your bowel health after childbirth is essential for comfort, healing, and overall wellbeing.
Tips to support your recovery:

🚶‍♀️Movement:
Gentle activity helps stimulate bowel movements and reduces bloating. Even if it's small to start with- any movement is helpful.
* Watch this space for stretches and exercise ideas *

🪑 Foot Stool:
Elevate your feet on a stool and lean forwards during a bowel motion, this will straighten the bowel therefore making it easier to pass your stool.
*Leaning backwards might be more beneficial for some conditions- seek personalized assessment and advice *

🚫 No Straining: Avoid forcing or straining — listen to your body and go when you feel ready.
MOO when you POO. 🤣 🐄

💧 Fluid Intake: Stay well-hydrated with plenty of water to soften stools and prevent constipation.
Think about your total fluid intake and supplementing with electrolytes could be helpful

💊 Medication & Stimulation: Sometimes, stool softeners like Laxulose or Laxol, or stool stimulants such as Kiwi Crush or Metamucil, can help. Always consult your healthcare provider before use.

Your postnatal recovery is unique — prioritize gentle care and seek support when needed.
