Moms: Do you still Kegel? ;-)

DesignsOnYou · May 2012

I was religious about doing Kegels during my first pregnancy, not so much with my second and now almost never :-/

From what I understand, I should be doing them pregnant or not for at least 5 minutes a day or I'm going to be a wreck in a few years.

Someone talk me into doing them.. Or convince me I don't have to ;-)

I really try to do them often. I do think it's important to keep up with them throughout life both for bladder and sexual reasons.

the only time i kegel is when i see posts about them here and they remind me to do them... then i do them for about 3 minutes and forget for another week or so

I try to when I remember (this thread reminded me!) I had awful bladder leakage for the first month after my baby was born and still have a tiny bit although I think its almost gone.

I really should because I can't hold pee in anymore. If I have to go I have to go, and this is only after one baby.

I've definitely started to slack off. I was really good in the 2nd tri, then slacked off for a while, and now I'm trying to do them again but I definitely miss a few days here and there! It's just hard to remember to do them!

Another plus for squatting! Supposedly squatting helps open the pelvis and helps baby drop down into the pelvis during labor.
