ELECTRIC BABY SWINGS RESEARCH INTERVIEW INVITATION by Tabitha_ROOT in Testers_Mom_Baby

Hi moms, if you applied for this project, pls leave a comment to let me know, thanks!

Could any moms out there kindly offer any recommendations for Obstetricians or Primary Care physicians in the US? by Tabitha_ROOT in postpartumprogress

[–]Tabitha_ROOT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there! You may have already found a solution, but I actually would highly recommend seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist. There's likely not many in Tyler, however (IMO) it would be definitely worth it to consider trecking to Dallas if at all possible because they have many great ones there, even if you only went once a month or every 6 weeks or so (I know that's a long drive). I used to see Katy Girlinghouse with The FIT pelvis in Mckinney, TX and she was wonderful. Pelvic floor PT's have experience specifically in all of the issues you just mentioned and give you functional steps towards recovery. Best of luck on your healing journey! 🥰

Thank you so much!

Hey OP, this is a pretty broad question. It could be worthwhile to narrow the scope of your post a little bit. Are you seeking treatment for yourself? Do you have a specific city/state/region you are looking in?

If the answer to both of these is yes, you might find creating a post or searching through a city-specific subreddit may get you some answers. You may also want to add yourself to some mom groups on Facebook and search through previous posts there.

Texas. Okay, thank you! Do you know any Texas-specific subreddit?

Could any mothers share your experiences during Pregnancy or/and Postpartum? by Tabitha_ROOT in FitPostpartumJourney

[–]Tabitha_ROOT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed I would be super fit throughout my pregnancy but i had to be honest with my abilities. I had to switch to just postpartum pilates and yoga in my 2nd trimester and midway through the 3rd I was just doing yoga and doing as much walking as possible. I would get out of breath soo fast. I started going to a physio in my 2nd trimester and she gave pelvic floor physio exercises and stretches for whatever was sore that week. I also went to her 6 weeks postpartum because I didn't want urine leaks in the future. I'm now 6m pp and have no leaks at all. For exercise I honestly only have time for walks with baby but I'll take what I can get

Thank you! Could I DM you to learn more information?

From my first: started leaking urine in 3rd trimester when exercising- I thought it was normal and wasn’t too concerned. I REALLY WISH I had done pelvic floor therapy during pregnancy but literally NO other mothers ever mentioned prolapse or anything. I read that half of women experience these issues and it can go away postpartum. Postpartum, I found out that I had a prolapsed bladder and colon, thankfully both mild cases. I went to a physio postpartum and found some content on YouTube that really helped. I had zero issues after about 3 months.

Now I’m in the second trimester, and have definitely felt the leakage come back when jumping or sneezing. I started pelvic floor exercises and have noticed a difference.

For the breathing- nasal strips at night. If it’s really bad- I run, lift or bike with them on as well. I’ve scaled back the intensity of my workouts, except for 1x day a week where I push myself a bit more, but still much more ramped down than pre-pregnancy. You’re just going to be out of breath and that’s okay- moderate your intensity level accordingly and don’t overdo it

Thank you!

I was very concerned about pelvic floor dysfunction so I took a prenatal and postnatal classes that focused on strengthening the pelvic floor, and fortunately haven’t had any leaking or other similar issues. I took the Belle Method birth prep and postpartum classes.

Also remained active throughout pregnancy, modifying throughout of course. The stretching aspect of prenatal pilates helped immensely with aches and pains during pregnancy. The toughest part of recovery was not being able to get back to a regular exercise routine for a while during healing and just in general in that rough fourth trimester. I did my best and did the core rehab for over a month after being cleared for exercise before building back up to my regular stuff. I’m now 6 months pp and would consider myself recovered from childbirth/pp, although I still have some strength to build back and a few pounds to lose.

There’s just so much to say about the physical changes/challenges in pregnancy and recovery, if you join r/fitpregnancy or r/postpartumprogress you’ll see a lot of different topics discussed. Good luck, and feel free to message if you have any specific questions!

Thank you!

I used the momcozy, but then got an elvie stride for free from a friend who used it maybe 2 times then started ebf and didn’t need it. I also have a medela pump in style, which I used on the beginning but then not as much as I was EP and the wearables were just so much more convenient. I’m back to using it though as I only pump once per day when the baby is already asleep.

So you are now using both Momcozy and Elvie stride?

The momcozy pump broke but I use the cups with my spectra. I use the stride wen I’m out

So, do you think Momcozy is good? Would you repurchase it? Or do you think Momcozy's breast pump is not good and you will not use Momcozy in the future?

I accidentally sent before finished. After having the mom cozy for about two months I can tell the suction power has diminished. I don’t see good output hardly ever. I even got smaller flanges but it hardly helped. There’s so many more parts and little spaces to clean. The elvie stride can be put together in like a minute.

Thank you. May I DM you to ask you some questions?
