Using dilators for vagnismus 😖

Has anyone here had vagnismus? I've been told it's pretty common.

For those of you who don't know, a quick summary of it is involuntarily tightening of the vaginal wall muscles. So things like penetration, inserting tampons, etc. are generally painful & uncomfortable.

I have this & am using dilators to help stretch & am wondering when you all who have had it started feeling results? Or any tips?

I'm also doing pelvic floor exercises because I have a relatively weak pelvic floor. Would this hurt my vagnismus progress or help it?

Another side note, I'm about 15 weeks pregnant (3rd baby). Hoping I can get my lady area in it's best shape before delivery. 💪

So much vagina talk.
