If you are or have been pregnant, you have surely heard of the famous Winner Flow, that whistle that doesn't whistle and is used to exercise the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. But is it as miraculous as they make it out to be?
We are not going to debunk the myth because there is nothing but truth in those words: the Winner Flow is a very useful Flow device during this process that will help us quickly regain muscle tone and, moreover, will become an indispensable ally during childbirth. Keep reading to find out how.
Why use the Winner Flow during pregnancy?
Among the Flow devices used during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period, the Winner Flow is undoubtedly the best known and most used. The Winner Flow helps tone the abdominal muscles during pregnancy, which are stretched due to the volume the uterus has acquired.
Another advantage of the Winner Flow is that it is very easy to use. It is similar to a whistle and any woman can use it during pregnancy or childbirth if she does not feel the need to push, since the Winner Flow achieves a powerful and effective impulse that helps the baby move down the birth canal.
Can the Winner Flow be used to push during childbirth?
Yes, it can. In fact, the Winner Flow is a great ally during childbirth, as it allows the baby to move down the birth canal in an easy and effective way.
How does the Winner Flow help speed up childbirth?
The Winner Flow helps support the contractions of childbirth and guides breathing to push the newborn during the process, thus reducing the need to use forceps or a vacuum extractor, or to perform an episiotomy.
Tips for choosing the correct gauge during childbirth
As we have already mentioned, this Flow device is similar to a whistle. If you look closely, you can see that the Winner Flow has different levels of resistance that will be related to the chosen gauge. These levels go from 0 to 2.5.
To get used to breathing and ensure it is not excessive, it is ideal to start using the Winner Flow at 2.5 to begin practicing breathing exercises. Little by little, and as we get used to the Flow device, we will reduce the resistance until we reach the level where we feel most comfortable.
To use the Winner Flow, simply place it horizontally in the mouth, as if it were a whistle: through the thin end without a model. Then, with a prolonged breath, we will blow while noticing how the abdominal muscles and pelvic floor muscles are activated.
As you can see, the Winner Flow is a device that has no great mystery and offers impressive results considering its simplicity. Once you try it, you will find that it is an excellent ally during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period.
