Your pelvic floor in pregnancy needs talking about and here’s the thing, how you go to the toilet DOES affect your pelvic floor in pregnancy.
If you strain to do a 💩 then you are putting unnecessary pressure down on to your pelvic floor, and when pregnancy or particularly postpartum.. that’s just no good.
* The trick is to have your knees HIGHER than your hips.*
This helps to put your pelvis is an optimal position and actually makes you much less likely to need to bear down.
Plus, if you have a baby, then you will 💯 be buying one of these toddler steps down the track anyway when your toddler needs it.
So invest the $5 now and save your pelvic floor in the process.
If you suffer from vaginal heaviness or you know you have a pelvic organ prolapse, this should be something you are doing on the toilet when going for number two.
And for everyone else, use this method to help reduce your risk of any future issues.
Squatting low is how our body is designed to go to the toilet. Some cultures have maintained this practice, some (like ours) not so much.
So have the luxury of sitting on a toilet with the functionality of knees higher than hips using a toddler step.
Make it a priority. Your pelvic floor needs you to.
I’d love to know 👇 do you have one of these steps at your place?
