Do you think it's important to do kegels?

Question

I'm 26w4d, FTM and never did kegel exercises, should I start? I recently saw that it helps so you don't tear when you have your baby but does it really or it doesn't have to do with that? Any opinions? ^^

Answer

Yes. I wish i would have done them them with my first. I've been peeing on myself since 2013, everytime i sneeze, cough or laugh. Now I'm on my third on the verge of having to wear depends lol.

Answer

Honestly I hate the way doing kegels feels so I don't do them. I have a 6 year old son and am 14 weeks pregnant and am doing just fine haha.

Answer

Kegels are important if you have kids, they help keep your pelvic floor strong - that includes the mussles that hold in your pee.

Answer

I did kegals before I was pregnant and I'm doing them now that I had the baby I still had to be stitched but I didn't have to worry about not controlling my pee

Answer

I haven't done any kegels and haven't peed myself once even through the puking.

Answer

I think it's hard to say whether they really help or not, at least the way women think they do. I've always done kegels, just randomly for years. It's common for pregnant women to accidentally pee when laughing or coughing, I'm on my fourth and have never had that problem through any pregnancies, and have only had to push 5-10 minutes with each delivery.  (Not sure if that's related to kegels or not, actually)

Answer

Kegals are very important.

Answer

No, not for me. I have pelvic floor dysfunction, in that my pelvic muscles are too strong and rigid. Doing kegels is actually super bad for me. I needed an episiotomy my first labor, partly due to the fact hat my pelvic muscles were too tight and clenched.

Answer

Google a prolapse and you will be doing them all the time!

Answer

They help to strength your pelvic floor.  They're something good to do even if you don't have kids or weren't pregnant.  Pelvic floor just like any muscle if you don't use it it becomes weak.
