Kegels and should I do them?

Question

I have been very nervous about whether my baby is doing fine I have hit 14 weeks today and I feel awhile different cascade of feelings but I’m not sure if that’s the baby moving or what, and in the app it asks if I have done any kegels and I haven’t but will they help with the major cramps I feel for short periods of time? I’m not sure, and I want to be able to feel something and no my baby is okay. Has it helped in not having medication during birth or what I’m his confused and wondering how to even DO them!

Answer

Kegels strengthen the muscles in your pelvic floor. The next time you’re peeing, stop the urine midstream - those are the same muscles you should be using to do kegels. *every* woman should do kegels their entire lives! Especially during pregnancy.

Answer

I skipped Kegals and did other pelvic floor exercises... squats, hip thrusts, side lying clams ect. This way I was able to get a workout in to.
No leaking post partum 👍🏼

Answer

I do them 2x a day. It’s an important muscle to keep strong during pregnancy.  I have an app called Kegel Trainer that reminds me and guides me through different little exercises (around a minute each)

Answer

I did them a little bit never really remembered enough to make a difference. Labour was fine but I prolapse a couple of weeks after- definitely wish I’d been more strict with it!

Answer

I didn’t do Kegels and I had a decent labors I didn’t tear at all. I also healed within a week. They’re for your own good. If you can remember to do them, but I wasn’t interested so I never did them.
