Hello Interloper!

It’s easy to forget to do pelvic floor exercises every day, especially for busy new mothers. It’s useful to fit them into a daily schedule and for patients to complete a set while doing something else, such as eating a meal, talking on the phone or cleaning their teeth. If they are still likely to forget, it might also be helpful to place notes around their home as a reminder.
Another reason women may not be doing the exercises as often as recommended is that they don’t think they work (as 6.1% of women in the survey claimed). Perhaps this is because they aren’t achieving the accurate technique that is needed for the exercises to be effective. But with midwives and health visitors as overstretched as they are, many women might not be getting the support they need, during or after pregnancy, to achieve these goals.
