Elevating your legs while reclining can help ease prolapse pressure and relax your core. After my hysterectomy, I started using a wedge pillow instead of a chair or stack of pillows. I've found that it’s much more comfortable and just as supportive. I find I also have to wiggle less to get comfortable.
I like to breathe into my pelvic floor and keep a neutral spine while resting. Little changes like this can make recovery feel a lot gentler.
