Postpartum Incontinence

If it's more than six months since you gave birth and you are still incontinent, so it's time to consult your doctor.  Pregnant women often experience stress incontinence, particularly in the latter part of pregnancy, when the fetus becomes heavy and drops into the pelvic cavity.  In some cases, during the pushing stage of vaginal delivery, the pelvic  floor muscles are damaged causing the bladder and bladder neck to drop, which in turn, makes it harder to retain urine.

Although duration and difficulty of labor and the size of the baby and contributing factors, there is no way to predict who will experience postpartum incontinence. Most women will regain their muscle control within six months after giving birth. Try kegel exercises , which will help you for fast healing process. 

Kegel exercises  consists of contracting and relaxing the muscles that form part of the pelvic floor. The aim of Kegel exercises is to improve muscle tone by strengthening the puboccocygeus of the pelvic floor. Kegel is a popular prescribed exercise for pregnant women to prepare the pelvic floor for physiological stresses of the later stages of pregnancy and vaginal childbirth this is according to Wikipedia.




Urinary incontinence isn't  rare but it is not normal.  Women should not be incontinent the rest of their life, just because she had a child. 
  

Music on the womb

      Fetuses can hear and respond to stimuli while they are still in the womb.  But what does this mean for their future?

     In a research a doctor played recorded music to unborn babies through high fedility stereo earphones placed on their mothers' abdomens. He later visited with the children regularly after birth and found out that, within eight months, some of these could imitate melodies of two or three notes.

     You can see in all tv advertisement, that some kids in their toddler age have this gifted talent. There are some remarkable was the ability of some children to pick out , at two years old of age, simple tunes with one finger on the piano.  Most young children bang randomly on keyboards.

   Early and pre natal exposure to music has a positive effect- not  just on musical aptitude.  Areas as diverse as problem solving, risk taking, and creativity have been found to be enriched by prenatal music experiences.

     But pregnant mothers don't have to constantly press a high tech device to their abdomen to keep their unborn babies stimulated.  The traditional way- singing softly to the baby in your womb- may well be the best way to create a healthy baby..

    I am suggesting to all mother who are in their 6 weeks of pregnancy to start singing, reading and talking  while touching their womb. It's not too late to have a gifted child :)
