Pelvic floor muscles!

[crackle]

Hi all! Remember reading somewhere years ago that if you exercise your pelvic floor muscles everyday you can get them strong enough to hold a pencil in there!
Keep meaning to give it a go but keep forgetting! Just wondering whether anyone has ever tried it and is it worth doing? Would set a daily reminder on my phone if it was!

i cant say ive tried this myself either but wen giving birth my pelvic floor was too strong i had to be cut so maybe its true haha

I never did them before I had Lucy but did them on and off after having her (not half as often as I should have!) and I think its made a little difference but not much

I did them during pregnancy and after. I think they're worthwhile. I've never tried to hold a pencil, however - I always found it more convenient to write with my hand...
One prenatal pilates class I took did all sorts of pelvic floor exercises and we were told to do a set every time we hit a red light while driving. You could do something like that for yourself if you are trying to get into the routine.
