Kegels ?

Question

Anybody doing kegels while pregnant? I am having a hard time understanding how to do them....is it just like clenching your vagina muscle then releaseing it over and over? I'm kinda confused. Also did anybody do this while pregnant and did it help in labor at all ?

Answer

I have an app or this - it helps remind me to do them. It also times you, the screen says “squeeze” and counts down for a few seconds then “relax” for a few. Each session is around a minute long and I do a couple a day. It’s called Kegel Trainer.

Answer

Following. I try! Some times I just feel like I’m squeezing my butt cheeks 😳

Answer

This was useful to know I was having a hard time understanding too... first pregnancy 😊

Answer

go pee, squeeze until you can stop the flow mid-stream. thats kegels. then practice the same squeezing while not peeing.

Answer

In one of my antenatal classes we had a physio speak. She said the whole area down below is really your pelvic floor. So to exercise this, pretend you are trying to stop your self weeing, keep a tampon in and stop yourself farting at the same time! Do two different exercises. Try to hold it for as long as you can and gradually increase the number of seconds you hold it. And also do quick hold and releases of about 1 second and gradually increase the amount of time you do this for.

Answer

I do them while I’m in traffic every day at stoplights and stop signs. It’s easy to remember and I’m just sitting there anyway so might as well.
