Kegels, yo

Sissy42 · September 2017

I tried to look through all of the recent discussions to make sure this hasn't been discussed yet, because if it hasn't, there needs to be a PSA in here. I couldn't find one.

It is NOT too early or too late to start these!
Do alllllll the kegels!!!

I was filling my car with gas today, sneezed several times in a row, and peed all over my damn self. I didn't even know I had to pee! Motherhood is not always glamorous, but it's more glamerous if you don't pee every time you laugh or sneeze!

Do some and pat yourself on the back. Because patting yourself on the vagina would just be weird.

I could Kegel all day but suspect I would pee myself anyway. Fourth baby problems.

Omg I just started kegels today after finding I peed a little yesterday while throwing up lol. The miracle of creating life. I'm kind of concerned kegels won't help since this is my third but willing to try.

I've had a sinus infection since Friday so I've been coughing a lot...and pee myself a little almost every time

@lesliegolem peeing yourself because of pregnancy-induced vomiting is below the belt and shouldn't be allowed to be a thing. It has happened to me too and man does it suck.

@lesliegolem and @lindsye I share the peeing while vomiting pain. The worst!

@lindsye and @lesliegolem - I'm a 3rd time mama too, and I'm pretty sure the kegels aren't doing much for me anymore either - but just imagine if we hadn't done any before! maybe we'd just be leaking 24/7. I keep telling myself that for hope for the future. Or maybe we'll just all be little old ladies one day, constantly smelling like pee

Also, @lesliegolem and @StephieMK - insult on injury man!!!

Just FYI there's an app called KPFE for doing kegels. It reminds you to do them and has interval timers, etc. I'm sure there are other options, but that's the one that I've been using!

There aren't enough kegels in the world to make up for vaginally birthing a 10lb kid. *Shrug*.

@lund just be warned about when you set your timer for. Nothing more embarrassing than seeing that damn reminder while sitting next to your boss. ☺️ It's semi discrete but still it's like "what's that?".

But seriously ladies, let's do our kegels.

I am in the throw up pant wetting group. So embarrassing. I am glad it happened at home and not at work.

lund · September 2017

@capricelili yeah I've made sure that it doesn't go off during work hours. Whenever anyone has asked about it I just say it's a reminder to take my vitamins or something like that. NBD.

@luna8433 thankfully at home! I keep a spare change of clothes for myself in the car now ... like I'm a newly potty trained 2 year old ... definitely a good idea at least for now!
