So I’m logged into my husband’s account, but I’m thinking this can really help prevent pelvic prolapse too. I’m sure it can’t be promised, but in my mind this would help so much. I really hope to breath out my next baby and may apply this and some other things. With my first, I ended up getting 2 prolapses which I’ll probably always have.

Very helpful! Do you arch your back if you're in a supine position or do you try to keep the back flat on the bed?

How can I do the “knees in, feet out” position if I had an epidural?

Hi! So I breathe into my belly and push the air of the belly out as I breathe out imagining I breathe out of my vagina? Is that right?
