Well, hello there, welcome back. We are getting really deep into the season, and I know you're thinking yes, we are getting deep into the holiday season. That's right, but we are also getting really deep into the sickness season.

That's right, coughing, sneezing, throwing up the flu, all the things.

And while it doesn't, you know, seem like a huge deal, I I mean it's pretty difficult dealing with sick kids,

but as moms, when we cough and sneeze or even throw up and we have a weak pelvic floor,

what does that mean? We're peeing our pants and we hate it and it stresses

us out and we often try to hurry and cross our legs or our hands are full and we're like,

ah, what do I do? And then we just struggle there sometimes if the pelvic floor is weak or tight.

So I think this is a really important thing and I wanted to give you some quick tips of what you could

do in the situation when you are sick and how to try to prevent

that leakage. Now I did talk about this in one of my very first episodes because it is really

difficult for moms to have this to live with.

So that is episode 8 if you want to go back to it.

But today I'm going to give you not only the quick tips of obviously we want to learn to use our pelvic floor, which was what I'm talking about in episode 8.

We want to learn to activate the pelvic floor.

If the pelvic floor is weak, we really want to learn to lift it, to close and lift, you know, imagine that elevator

shaft going up, or if it is tight, we really want to learn to relax it.

Remember, it's like that tight neck, we want to learn to ease it and relax it so while we know

that having some ideas when we're sick can be helpful to really help that

pelvic floor and these ideas are going to be a little bit more helpful,

actually a decent amount more helpful if you have a weak pelvic floor and you're trying to

learn to contract the pelvic floor, but they can still be used in variation for both depending on your exact situation.

So that's what we're going to talk about today.
