Exercise suggestions

Body: 

I am four and a half months postpartum. I have a cystocele and a mild uterine prolapse. I'd like to start doing some kind of exercise, but I'm afraid it'll make my condition worse. Could anyone PLEASE suggest an activity which doesn't worsen the condition or that it might even help to reverse it? Pilates? Swimming? BTW, I'm writing from Spain where info about POP is non-existant. Thank u so much 4 being there!

Basically it is trial and error what works for you and your POP

I use treadmill (walking) and you can do step aerobics if you step LIGHTLY - Ie do not stamp up and down cos its bad for the joints ad makes things worse...

There is nothing you cannot do - Just try it and see if it makes you feel worse - If it does see what you can change in your posture and how you do things to make it work for YOU

:-)

Happy Exercising...

I like Christines exercise DVD for early postpartum- When you are able to do that then move to the exercises in the back of the book.
Swimming is wonderful for me-
Walking is okay.
