Did you do Kegel exercises before or after giving birth?
-
FAIL for both.
-
After
-
@PrincessBaby: I forgot that option!
-
I do a prenatal yoga video 3-5 times a week (depending on how motivated I feel, lol) and kegels are part of it. Are you supposed to do them after, too? I'm scared to even think about that area after giving birth!
-
Before. I didn't feel the need after since I ended up with a csection.
-
Ahaha I just posted about this in the May 2013 board hehe.
I'm doing them but I don't think enough... How many are you supposed to do during pregnancy a day? I know I need to, I sometimes pee a little when I sneeze. LOL
-
Nope and now I wish i would have. My bladder control sucks now ! Did you know there's an app for that ??? Seriously. I almost bought it haha
-
I do them whenever I think about it, like when I read the title of your post. I'm doing them now! But I don't remember often enough. I've found it really does help with bladder control which is important because, well, that just doesn't work like it used to pre-baby.
-
When I remember randomly I do ( still preg). How often are you supposed to? I'm so dreading peekng when I sneeze or laugh!
-
Both! Makes horizontal tango more enjoyable
-
Yep, both--never leaked pee while pregnant and have yet to do so at 2 weeks postpartum.
-
When something reminds me, then I do them. I really should set a phone reminder or something, haha. I'm only 20 weeks, and I might have peed a little when I sneezed the other day.
-
Does it count if I randomly do kegels when I think of it?
-
I wih I did them more... My bladder control is still a mess 10 months pp
-
I'm 28 weeks and I've been doing them pretty religiously. At least 20 a day. I just got a pamphlet from my doctor's office talking all about how to prepare for the birth and they recommend 25 kegels a day.
-
Both - although I need to do more. That must be a benefit of C-Section, better bladder control!
I fell down the stairs the other day (on my butt, nothing tragic), and my bladder control failed me...
-
@Grace: Haha I do the same!!
