Urethral hypermobility?

Body: 

I went to my obgyn this morning (because I've never actually seen a doctor for my stress incontinence..only physical therapists and chiropractors).

He said everything looks good and I don't have any prolapse (though all he did was look for like 5 seconds, then told me to "bear down" and I said I don't know how, but I tried but I don't think I did anything..sooo).

Anyway, he said my stress incontinence is caused by urethral hypermobility. Will the exercises in the incontinence video help with that?

I tend to think of that as one of OB/GYN's buzzwords. In any event, yes, all the organs are quite mobile, that's why we can stabilize things with WW work.

Christine uses that term in the first response to this post:

It's a 10-year-old post, but the principles haven't changed.

Interesting. I kinda wondered if ur was a buzzword (or term). Of course he could barely get that out of his mouth before he started talking surgery haha. I expected nothing less though. I just said "ok" and took the stupid brochure for a mesh implant and left.

Anyway thanks for posting those links!

Christine actually explains very well what is happening in this situation, with diagrams also in the book. Pages 32 and 33 for those that are interested.
That's why pulling those organs as well as the the urethra into/toward the lower belly is the key, with the whole woman posture and work.

I'm kind of combining this with questions from my other post in the lifestyle forum too, since you mentioned the book over there as well. So, does the book talk about how to run and jump properly, or give exercises to do, or describe WW posture in detail AND talk about how to maintain it while doing everyday tasks?

I'm just trying to figure out if it's something I should invest in. I'm really not trying to be annoying, it's just a money issue, and I can't seem to find a preview anywhere, like even just seeing the chapter titles would be helpful, you know. Any chance there will be a 4th of July sale similar to the Memorial Day sale?

The combination of the book and the First Aid for Prolapse is what did it for me. The book covers an extensive history of pelvic organ support, surgeries, pessaries, pregnancy, nutrition, daily living, exercises, firebreathing, etc.
The DVD compliments the book, showing and describing things in visual detail, or in action, and also has a fabulous exercise program in it, and dance!
These are the go to's for any basic information you want to know. I am always going back and rereading sections, especially if someone is asking a question about it here on the forum.
Everything after that is just the gravy as some like to say, expanding and opening our minds even further into this process.
