Leave a Comment
Good morning fellow bloggers.Today i'll post a brief report on exercise after pregnancy and kegel exercise.KEGEL EXERCISE is very important for reducing the chance of urinary incontinence after vaginal delievery.
After vaginal delievery exercises can be started as soon as the next day following delievery,however it should be started only when the mother feels comfortable.After caesarean section,exercises should be started when the patiet feels cofortable.
KEGEL EXERCISE:is done to strengthen the pelvic flooor muscles.It consists of stiffening the pelvic muscles, for a few seconds[6-8 seconds] & then relaxing it.It should be done initially for 25 times , three times a day & gradually increased over a course of few weeks.KEGEL EXERCISE reduce the chance of developing urinary incontinence,rectal & ureteric prolapse in later life,as the pelvic muscles support these organs.
ABDOMINAL EXERCISE AFTER PREGNANCY:As during the growth of the baby in the uterus,the abdominal muscles take much of the strain,they may split after pregnancy.These abdominal muscles extend from the lower part of chest to pubis.The gaping of these muscles can be detected by mother herself, by simple palpation of the abdomen.If they notice such gaping they should immedietely consult their health care provider.
IDEAL EXERCISES AFTER PREGNANCY:Choose any exercise that best suits you like swimming,walking,jogging etc.It tekes some time for the body to return to the pre-pregnant state.
EXERCISE HAS NO HARMFUL EFFECT ON BREAST-FEEDING.
