This exercise should be done 15 times while lying down, sitting up, and standing (a total of 45 exercises). The client should then repeat the exercises rapidly contracting and relaxing the pelvic muscles 10 times. This should take no longer than 10 to 12 minutes for all three positions, or 3 to 4 minutes for each set of 15 exercises. A nurse is caring for a client immediately following an amniotomy.
