Loved this!! I’m 36 weeks and have been feeling my pelvic floor get tighter and tighter every week. Had no idea now to help it release (if it could) and these stretches really REALLY help! I found that visualizing my pelvic floor blooming, like you said, helped me relax more. Now I’m not so scared to go into labor with such a tight pelvic floor! Will be doing these daily!
Im not sure why but i feel like crying after this.. Maybe because i finally found what problems i have and that they are connected to my bad breathing style, not enough air when breathing , bad posture, problems with peeing, frequent uti symptoms, everything is connected to my tight pelvic floor and im finally doing something avout it. You are a wonderfull guide, and its a pleasure helping myself with your videos, so thank you.
I used this video many times in my first pregnancy to alleviate aches and pains and now I am using it again in my second pregnancy! It is helping so much with discomfort in my pelvic floor but also low back, hips, and thighs. A real lifesaver!
Before I had kids in 2019, I was having constant UTI symptoms that were debilitating. I wound up in urgent care once or twice a month until I was constantly prescribed antibiotics for “UTIs” that never resulted in a positive culture. Once I got pregnant, I no longer had these issues. However, once I gave birth, they were triggered again. My nurse midwife mentioned it could be pelvic floor related. I finally saw a pelvic floor, physical therapist, and it was a life changing. It was a miracle to learn about this after scouring the internet for answers and finding NOTHING. I love your explanation video on hypertonic pelvic floor along with this practical video! 🎉❤ I had a rare flare up a few days ago. After doing this video, I finally had my first day without needing azo! I felt instant relief. Thank you for all you do! 👏👏👏
EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!! Nearly 39weeks and these last 2days have had pain in my groin area with every step I took but only after a short bout of walking around. Straight After doing these stretches the pain is completely gone. Thanks a mil!!👌
I loved this video! Since starting at 39 weeks, I felt my pelvic floor relax during perineal massage. My cervical check was painless and not too uncomfortable! I have been doing the stretches almost daily to prepare for labor and find them so helpful.
I am not, nor ever will be pregnant, but I was instructed to stretch my pelvic floor for other reasons. So, I found your video. I love that you are using yoga poses I already know to do it. This has been very helpful. Thank you. Now, I just need to learn to relax 😂
These are great. My gastroenterologist office gave me a black and white print out of some stretches that I can’t see very well, don’t stretch enough, or feel like they’re stretching an entirely different area. Thank you!
This probably sort of sounds crazy but I felt a bit high after doing the release with the ball under my sits bone. I did not expect for it to release so much tension. I am currently 39 weeks pregnant and the tension my pelvic floor has beens holding is insane. Thank you for making this video
I have interstitial cystitis also, and am currently 30 weeks pregnant. I’m so happy to hear that these exercises have helped you!!! I’ve been struggling and needing some relief.
This was amazing! I am at the end of my second trimester and wanted to start doing pelvic floor exercises but have had trouble feeling where exactly my pelvic floor is but in every single one of these stretches I could feel the target area. Will defiantly be doing this stretch routine on a regular basis.
I am 18 weeks and I struggle to empty my bladder completely, but these videos help to reduce tension ❤ Edit: I’m now working with a physical therapist, and learning how to relax and lengthen those muscles leading up to birth.
The myofascial release with the tennis ball is just amazing! Such a great feature to add to this class. I love to use it to release my lower back and the side of the hips as well.
I’m in week 13, had a session with a pelvic floor PT and figured out exactly where I am tight. The tennis ball release enabled me to target that and I definitely felt an emotional release (crying) which I think is a good thing because that whole area carries so much emotion and history! Thank you for sharing this resource 🩵
Today is my due date and I'm feeling very good physically but mentally I'm getting a little restless to see our little one already. I'm going to try this. I have a competitive sports background and while this hasn't been checked, my own intuition is that if anything, my pelvic floor is tighter rather than not very tight. Thanks for your videos, I've looked at them at different stages of pregnancy and I definitely found a few favourites to do.
Great video! Do you have more! Love how you incorporated stretches and release in a doable amount of time for most moms. Thanks- will definitely do this one again. I like the use of the bloster to
Please share what video you can train within the 4-6 weeks poatpartum. You sometimes refer to stretch and pelvic floow work, but I can’t find those videos :( Thanks! Love your channel and been using during my pregnancy!!
Thanks for this, I'm 20 months postpartum with severe Diastasis Recti and a very tight pelvic floor. Cannot heal my Dr because I can't engage my core because of the tight PF gives me pain. 2 days into this and I'm already feeling better. But for how long until my PF muscle are ready for core engaging exercises?
Thank you very much for this video! I find it really hard to do the first exercise.. it’s so painful.. even sitting on the toilet makes my pelvic floor so sore.. does this mean I’m just super tight??
I love this video! ❤ Any tips for the sit bones release? I'm using a physio ball and it really hurts and I cannot get my hips even! Is this something that will get better as I keep practicing?
I pee so much with each inhale in the first pose and in the inner thigh wall stretch. It’s better for me send my breath down while laying down. Is this consistent with the symptoms of a hypertonic pelvic floor? I’ve had all of its symptoms for a very long time.
Thank you so much for uploading this video! Since all of these exercises involve spreading the legs open, is it safe to do with symphysis pubis disorder?
Is it normal to leak a little while relaxing and releasing? I’m 30 weeks pregnant with a baby whose head is pressed against my bladder, and I have interstitial cystitis. I’m wanting to strengthen my pelvic floor as well as release tension but don’t know if I’m doing it right since I still have leaking issues.
When doing the yoga squat and i take a belly breath in it feels like I'm close to urinating do you know why that is. I've tried looking online but I can't find anything about it

Cried during this. Amazing release of trauma from my birth & my pelvic floor finally doesn’t feel right - 8 months postpartum. Thank you 🤍
Im not sure why but i feel like crying after this..

We store stress and trauma in our hips. The crying is it being let out.
I used this video many times in my first pregnancy to alleviate aches and pains and now I am using it again in my second pregnancy! It is helping so much with discomfort in my pelvic floor but also low back, hips, and thighs. A real lifesaver!
Congratulations on your second pregnancy!!! Happy it’s helping 💞

Hi Casey! So good right! Nice to e-meet you here!
Thank you for these great videos! I'm 39 weeks tomorrow and will hopefully get to do this exercise a few more times!

Thank you😊
I need this! 38 weeks and feeling so tight!
Would I know if I had a tight pelvic floor? What’s better for an easy labour? Should I do pelvic floor exercises or this video with the reverse ones?
Hi! I’m wondering when we should stop doing kegels (you mentioned to stop towards the very end of pregnancy - which week is this roughly?) thank you!
Please share what video you can train within the 4-6 weeks poatpartum. You sometimes refer to stretch and pelvic floow work, but I can’t find those videos :(
Thanks! Love your channel and been using during my pregnancy!!
It is good for which has urinary retention problem & hesitancy weak stream or stopped start stream
When can I start this exercise?
Thanks for this, I'm 20 months postpartum with severe Diastasis Recti and a very tight pelvic floor. Cannot heal my Dr because I can't engage my core because of the tight PF gives me pain. 2 days into this and I'm already feeling better. But for how long until my PF muscle are ready for core engaging exercises?
30 weeks pregnant gonna start doing these before bed to help prepare for birth!
Great, now I have a good feeling
So glad it helped you feel good! 💞
What if you have prolapse and a tight pelvic floor, can you still do these exercises?
I was wondering if you could do a constipation relief yoga there aren't many workouts for pregnant women that I could see
Can i do these exercises with SPD?
Thank you very much for this video! I find it really hard to do the first exercise.. it’s so painful.. even sitting on the toilet makes my pelvic floor so sore.. does this mean I’m just super tight??
Same! Any progress?
I love this video! ❤ Any tips for the sit bones release? I'm using a physio ball and it really hurts and I cannot get my hips even! Is this something that will get better as I keep practicing?
Will these exercises help with prolapse
How early postpartum can I start these stretches?
I have a question
Can these stretches be done after fixing Diastasis Recti?
I've been having tailbone pain. This is helping
I did this whilst I was pregnant and felt great, but is squatting ok to do postnatally with a prolapse?
I pee so much with each inhale in the first pose and in the inner thigh wall stretch. It’s better for me send my breath down while laying down. Is this consistent with the symptoms of a hypertonic pelvic floor? I’ve had all of its symptoms for a very long time.
is this diastisis recti safe?
Thank you so much for uploading this video! Since all of these exercises involve spreading the legs open, is it safe to do with symphysis pubis disorder?
No, unfortunately I would not recommend this for SPD
Is it normal to leak a little while relaxing and releasing? I’m 30 weeks pregnant with a baby whose head is pressed against my bladder, and I have interstitial cystitis. I’m wanting to strengthen my pelvic floor as well as release tension but don’t know if I’m doing it right since I still have leaking issues.
Any recommendations on modifications for fractured coccyx after delivery? Or just skip the ones that hurt?
It's my first trimester can I do this? Please answer
Yes
Been doing your videos for a while during my pregnancy, currently 35 weeks and it started to become a bit painful a lot of pressure, is it normal?
At 10.40, must our butt be touching / leaning against the wall too? Thanks
Will it make any difference if I start these at 36 weeks? Only 4 weeks to go
Absolutely! Now is a great time to start!💞
@@PregnancyandPostpartumTVThank you!!!
When doing the yoga squat and i take a belly breath in it feels like I'm close to urinating do you know why that is. I've tried looking online but I can't find anything about it
I’m confused so I can do this to stop my bladder because I can never hold my pee ? Will it help?
You treat good 🙏 but who have money should go to a physiotherapist
First!!
Thank you 💞
