How often do you do Kegals?

DestinedtobeDomestic

I keep forgetting to practice my kegals everyday...I guess because it's not a habit it just slips my mind. 

How often do you do them, and when you do them...how many do you do?

We should have a daily reminder because I always forget!!!!

If we could just remember to do them every time we get on the bump, we'd all have super strong vaginas.

Someone needs to make a badge..."Don't forget to do your kegals!" lol. J/k. I like the idea of a daily reminder actually.

To answer your other questions, whenever I can remember I hold 5 times in a row for 5 seconds each. Some days I think about it 2 or 3 times. Other days I forget altogether.

OMG LOL Hubby reminds me of this constantly. Of course he's just trying to get a lil somethin' somethin'. Can someone explain to the moron why we need to do them now as apposed to after the baby is born?

I'm confused - it sounds like you're saying he does tell you to do them now?!  

If you take Bradley method birth classes, they'll give you bright neon stickers that say "Kegels!" on them and you can stick them on your refrigerator to help you remember lol.  That helped a lot last pregnancy.  Too bad I won't be doing repeat classes this time around - so no neon kegel stickers for me this pregnancy.

Yes, he has reminded me about doing them but he means it more during sex then on my own.

I'd love to search for a "vag of steel" PIP but I don't think that's work appropriate...

I generally get them in when I go to the bathroom. I find I get a much emptier bladder if I squeeze a few kegels and release. I don't really think about it any other time.

I'm going to have to try that maybe I won't have to turn around and go back to the bathroom within 15 minutes. LOL. My husband is starting to think I just like sitting in there!

Haha I've gotten some NSFW stuff with way tamer searches than that! I wouldn't try it though the PIP would be hilarious...

Unfortunately, Vag is some sort of automotive acronym, so "vag of steel" brought up a bunch of steel automotive parts. BORING! "vagina of steel" brought up this picture of Grace Jones and some stainless steel speculums. It was a dissapointing google image search after all

I never remember to do the everyday, gah!

littlepoppyseed

I do them every time I see someone post about it!  Otherwise it never even crosses my mind...

HisBabyMama011
