I think you are on the money Raven. I was brought up to go JIC and now I am a chronic pee-er and I am having pelvic floors issues. Recently, I have been researching continence in children out of concern for my 4yo inability to be dry at night and I have read that it is not good to teach your kids to go JIC, because they have to learn to control their bladder.
With DD1 I used to make her go JIC all the time but now we are tt DD2 and I am just letting her go and then trotting her off to the loo in the hope that she'll get the connection.
Rouge - I agree with you on holding too long too. I think this can cause bladder infections.
Emma - Hugs hun. I couldn't even do a pelvic floor exercise until 6 weeks post bub. Try and find a physio that specialises in pelvic floor. I am going to one soon. She has a machine that is inserted and she can test where you have weakness and then prescribe exercises or other treatment. I suspect that I have a prolapse so I need to have this fixed.
