Hi, I've been away for a while as I was told by my wise GP because the more I read the stories, the more I was nervous about my recovery.

I hope you all ladies are having good recovery.

I'm now over 6 months op with posterior repair. My recovery wasn't easy. But I'm feeling good now.

I would like to know about how people are backing to exercise.

I heard a sit up is not good idea. How about plank? I did 30 seconds. 3 times.

I feel bit... discomfort.

I appreciate any advices.

    You might want to check out the pelvicfloorfirst website.  They have information about pelvic floor safe exercises.  They also have a free phone app with exercises.  

    I am one year post op and I don't do normal planks.  I do feel fine doing them on a wall or a countertop and I keep them short.  I am exercising more and more and I feel pretty strong and healthy.  I am still careful, though, and modify or avoid certain exercises.
