Only way to describe it is, during the night my body has started to wake me up and my abdomen is stretching. The kind of feeling where you wake up on a morning and have a good stretch. It's like that only I'm not doing it and it hurts. I did read a few things that it could be normal but terrified I'm hurting my insides. Has anyone else had this 🙄?

Also when did people start their pelvic floor exercises ? I tried the other day but nit sure if I'm doing it right and my muscles got tired after 3 tries and was unable to do anymore as I ached.

    Maybe it muscle spams, but if it’s painful then get an appointment. I tried my pelvic floor exercise 3 days out, but I felt the need for it. Stay strong

    I am 8 wkpost op from tvh and anterior repair.

    I was told by my urogynacologist to allow a few weeks before starting pf.

    Make sure your tummy muscles don't move when doing them as its only the clenched of front vagina you should be moving. Get an appointment from a pelvic floor physio that way you will know what's right. You can cause damage if doing them wrong .
