Women’s Health Week - Day 3 “To Rest”

I come from a long line of nappers. We are a napping family. Ever since I can remember, my whole family has enjoyed a nap. Anywhere, anytime. My husband comes from a non-napping family and we both find the other one weird.

The thing with sleep is that although it’s crucial for our health, for so much of our lives it can feel out of our control. Insomnia during pregnancy, sleep deprivation with newborns (or toddlers or 4, 5, 6 years old for that matter 😅), or sleep disturbances with hormonal shifts.

Although sleep is the ultimate form of rest, we can try to achieve rest in smaller moments too… sitting down to drink your coffee, leaving the dishes until the morning, or of course, a nap 😉.

Do you come from a napping family?

Sometimes fuel is protein

Sometimes fuel is cake…🧁

I’m 9 weeks postpartum at the moment and I had my Physio appointment last week. I thought it might be useful to go through what is involved in a postnatal assessment or the ‘6 week check’. I’ll explain it like I’m your Physio😀

I’ve gone into more detail and answered a few FAQ’s in a blog post https://www.meganmullane.com.au/postpartum/6-week-physio-check

If you have any other questions just pop them below or in my DM’s and I’ll get onto it. I hope this helps to shred light on what a postnatal assessment might look like.

Did you have a Physio assessment after your birth? Did you find it useful?

Moo To Poo 💩

Just the other day one of my lovely clients so generously gave me these earrings (swipe to see). She said she will never forget me teaching her the Moo to Poo and this was her thank you gift 😊What a beauty.

A few of you, lots actually, had no idea what Moo to Poo means so I thought I’d explain.

Simply, it’s the advice we give to women through pregnancy, postpartum, pelvic floor rehab, anyone really to reduce the pressure on the pelvic floor from constipation or straining.

Here’s what you do.
1. Wait for the urge!
2. Sit comfortably on the toilet with your feet on a foot stool
3. Gently lean forward at the hips
4. Now, make a mooooooo sound

Generating the moo sound helps to expand the belly and move the stool down without putting strain on your pelvic floor.

Don’t believe me? Give it a go! And don’t be shy, get the whole family involved🐮

The “Just In Case” wee💧

Are you guilty of this? Don’t worry, you’re not alone.

Often as kids we were taught to go to the toilet before you leave the house. A habit created out of convenience that can result in a big problem.

When you get in the habit of going “just in case” overtime the bladder can learn to hold smaller volumes.

This can become a problem when you are in a situation where you DO need to hold on. You can end up feeling like you have to go all the time and it can cause a lot of anxiety around getting to a toilet.

So instead, wait for the urge to come, then let your brain assess the volume, the environment you are in, your social situation and either decide that YES this is a good time to go or NO let’s wait.

Let your brain be the boss, not your bladder💧xx

(If you are having trouble with the “Just In Case“ wee or frequency, have a chat to your GP or Pelvic Health Physio 😊)
