The Importance of Doing Kegel Exercises During Pregnancy


If you do kegel exercises while you are pregnant, you can prevent the tearing of your perineum during labor, having an episiotomy during delivery and suffering from urine leakage after you have given birth.
It doesn't matter what stage of pregnancy you are at, you can begin these exercises today.

Kegel exercises keep the pelvic floor muscles toned and tight.  If you keep them strong you are most likely to have an easier birth and prevent the problems mentioned above.  Learning to do them correctly is essential:
not only do you need to squeeze the inner muscles of your vagina, you also have to focus on tightening your anal muscle.
To learn how to do Kegels properly as well as other key pelvic floor exercises, get a copy of Pregnancy Without Pounds and CORE Strength Secrets for Pregnancy.
