MommyToo is a proprietary dietary supplement aimed at improving the recovery of the over-exerted, loose, or even injured muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum.

What is MommyToo?

Becoming a mother is an exciting journey with many different stations. The last of these is when the baby is born, and from that time they become the most important part of your life. At ForHerCare, we believe that the health of the newborn begins with the health of the mother. We focus our love and attention on the newborn and during this process we tend to ignore our own health. In order to provide the best care for our newborn after birth, it is essential to provide ourselves with the correct nutrients and vitamins.

MommyToo is a proprietary dietary supplement aimed at improving the recovery of the over-exerted, loose, or even injured muscles of the pelvic floor and perineum. During pregnancy and childbirth, the female body, especially the pelvic floor is under tremendous stress, and might be affected by injuries. Pregnancy and labour may also cause certain forms of pelvic floor dysfunction: urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapses, sexual dysfunction or pelvic pain. This may occur secondary to the laxity of the pelvic floor and weakening or injury of pelvic muscles which can lead to urinary or stool incontinence, or even prolapse of the pelvic organs.

There is a clear correlation between urinary incontinence, pelvic floor muscle strength and the number and type of deliveries. The Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at the University of Debrecen launched a new research program for new mothers in February 2018 to investigate the therapeutic effects of the Mommytoo dietary supplement. The secondary aim of the seven-month clinical trial was to raise awareness about the importance of post-partum regeneration.[1]

MommyToo food supplement is a combination of minerals, unsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids) and essential amino acids. Zinc is involved in a large variety of metabolic processes; accelerating the regeneration of connective tissues and the healing of wounds.

For who is recommended?

The most critical phase of maternal recovery is the first 12 months after delivery. This period is unique: this specific hormonal and immune state does not occur at any other time.

Muscle injuries affecting the pelvic muscles may occur during pregnancy or labour. It is a possibility to sustain pelvic floor injury not just during a natural birth but even after caesarean section. In order to realise an effective recovery, it is advisable to start supporting the regeneration process immediately after giving birth.

Why is postpartum recovery important?

During the lifetime of a woman the vagina, the abdominal wall and pelvic organs undergo significant changes. One of the most spectacular biological adaptations is the transformation of the pelvic floor, the pelvic floor muscles and the vagina to prepare for the labour/delivery and their regeneration to normal condition after delivery. Delivery takes a huge toll on women’s pelvic floors.

The vagina expands significantly during delivery, and also the pelvic muscle goes through a similar expansion. The course of the expansion often results in severe muscular injuries that may affect the entire pelvic floor. This is true for natural birth as well as during caesarean section after labour. After normal delivery, a quarter of women suffer from a degree of incontinence, prolapse or vaginal laxity due to the weakening of the pelvic muscles. The weakened, damaged muscle can even have a negative effect on sexual intercourse. These changes affect women’s general well-being.

At a younger age the body quickly regenerates the affected muscles, but later in menopause, prolapse and urinary incontinence may recur as a result of the general weakness of the connective tissue and muscles due to aging. The most critical phase of maternal recovery is the first 12 months after delivery. This period is unique: this specific hormonal and immune state does not occur again at any other time.

With exercise for effective regeneration

In addition to taking MommyToo, the effectiveness of postpartum regeneration can be increased by performing an appropriate exercise program. Many make the mistake of returning to their previous sports activities after giving birth and wanting to get back in shape in this way.

Postpartum physical changes require special exercises based on strengthening the pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles. With all of this in mind, appropriate exercise effectively and safely helps mothers to fully recover without waist and back pain or urinary incontinence problems.
