SmartBalls after pregnancy

Using Smart balls after childbirth

Many women find that they have issues with bladder control later in pregnancy and post child birth. Often the last thing you are thinking about when caring for your newborn baby is doing pelvic floor exercises. However it is vital that every woman consciously takes steps to restore pelvic floor tone. If this is overlooked often women will find the result is bladder weakness; that annoying leakage when laughing, coughing or sneezing and not being able to do basic physical exercise.
Many women find they have to run to the loo if they have a full bladder for fear of wetting their pants. This can be disconcerting and embarrassing not to mention restricting. It’s very important to make sure the pelvic floor muscle is toned before becoming pregnant again or the problem will compound with subsequent pregnancies. This can contribute to conditions such as prolapse of the uterus and also major incontinence.
Smartballs are an easy option to restore the pelvic floor tone post child birth. They can be used anytime form 6 weeks after giving birth, and the sooner you can incorporate some focused pc muscle toning and strengthening into the busy lifestyle as a Mum, the more likely it is to prevent any issues with bladder weakness. Of course doing  pelvic floor exercises are beneficial too , as is pilates or yoga. The thing about Smartballs is that if you can develop a routine with using them regularly they are an easy  way to get your muscles back in shape without requiring any extra time or energy.
Using  Smartballs regularly can ensure you return to full pelvic floor strength. Initially after childbirth (6 weeks) your muscles may be very weak, and don’t despair if you find the Smartball (we recommend starting with the single Smartball Uno) pops out. If this happens reinsert the Smartball as high inside your vagina as you can, and then consciously contract your muscles to hold it in. Wear your Smartball around home, until you are confident to wear your Smartball out and about. If used consistently you’ll notice a difference quite quickly. Do persevere as the results are very rewarding, they do actually work!
Once muscle tone is restored using the Smartball Uno you can progress onto the double set of Smartballs original to give a greater inner workout. Using your Smartballs on an ongoing basis every fortnight will ensure your muscle tone remains strong, and if you start to notice any issues with bladder weakness just do another period of concentrated toning.
