My friend said kegels help later but I am not sure if I am doing them correctly. I don't feel any movement from outside, only inside tightening. How did you learn the proper way?
Kegels! I researched this so much to make sure I was doing them right. It's basically about squeezing your pelvic floor muscles, like when you're trying to hold gas or stop peeing. Hold for 5 seconds, then release for 5. My gynac said 10-15 reps, 3 times a day is good. But always check your technique with your doctor or physio.
It's completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed with all the things you 'should' do in pregnancy, and Kegels are one of them. Just try to relax and find those pelvic floor muscles. Squeeze like you're holding pee, hold for a few counts, and then release. Even a few times a day makes a difference, don't put too much pressure on yourself.
After the IVF journey, taking care of every little thing feels so important. Kegel exercises are definitely beneficial. Imagine you're trying to stop the flow of urine, gently contract those muscles, hold for a few seconds, then release. It's a small but powerful way to support your body. Just be gentle with yourself.
My mummy actually taught me how to do Kegels! She said it's like stopping your pee in the middle. You just squeeze those muscles down there, hold for a few seconds, and then release. It's really helpful for strengthening everything. I used to do them discreetly while watching TV.
Mere saasuji ne bhi bataya tha ki Kegel exercises bahut acchi hoti hain. Unhone bola tha ki jaise hum toilet mein jate hain aur beech mein rokte hain na, waise hi karna hai. Din mein do teen baar kar lo, chupchap, kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalega. Bahut helpful hain, bolte hain.
Don't worry, Kegels are quite simple once you get the hang of it. Just identify your pelvic floor muscles by trying to stop urine mid-stream (but don't do this regularly, just for identification). Then, squeeze those muscles, hold for 3-5 seconds, and relax. Aim for 10-15 reps, 2-3 times a day. It helps a lot, trust me!
Simple hai. Identify the muscles you use to stop urination. Squeeze them, hold for 5 seconds, then relax for 5 seconds. Do 10-15 reps, 3 times a day. You can do them anywhere – sitting, standing, lying down. Consistency is key for good pelvic floor strength.
Haan, Kegels toh bahut important hain, na! Mere doctor ne bataya tha ki jaise pee rokte hain, waise hi muscles ko tighten karna hai, count to five, aur phir relax. Din mein teen-chaar baar 10-15 reps kar lo. Bahut faydemand hain delivery ke liye.
Honestly, as a working mom, finding time for anything extra is tough! But Kegels are great because you can do them anywhere, even at your desk. Just squeeze your pelvic floor muscles like you're holding in pee, hold for 5 seconds, relax. Do 10-15 reps when you remember, even if it's just twice a day.
Oh, Kegels! I've started doing them recently. It's like, you squeeze the muscles around your vagina and anus, right? I try to hold for five seconds and release. How many times a day do you all do them? Sometimes I forget, to be honest!
