I've been hearing about kegel exercises and their benefits. I'm pregnant and wondering if doing kegels can help me during pregnancy and delivery. What are your experiences with it?
I panicked when I started leaking a little urine when sneezing, but then my doctor suggested Kegels. Honestly, they are a lifesaver and completely normal to do! It took about a month of daily practice, but my bladder control became so much better.
Oh, definitely start doing them if your doctor allows! I recently gave birth and doing those pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy made my postpartum recovery so much smoother. It is a wonderful way to care for your changing body, you got this mama.
Kegels are generally great for strengthening pelvic muscles, but please check with your doctor before starting any exercise. Since I had a low-lying placenta and other complications, my gynac advised me to avoid any pelvic movements. Always get green light from your doc first.
Ah, you mean Kegel exercises! Yes, they are amazing—I felt so much better after starting them in my second trimester. They really helped me with bladder control because I was running to the washroom every ten minutes. It made a huge difference in my comfort levels.
Kegels are very beneficial for supporting your uterus and bladder during these months. Just make sure you are contracting the right pelvic muscles and not tightening your stomach or thighs. If you are unsure of the technique, ask your gynecologist or a physio to show you.
Yes, Kegel exercises are highly recommended during pregnancy to strengthen your pelvic floor. They help with bladder control now and even make recovery easier after delivery. Just do them gently while sitting or lying down, about 10-15 reps a day.
