Have you done your kegels today?
Link to babycenter
Kegels are exercises you can do to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles – the muscles that support your urethra, bladder, uterus, and rectum. The exercises are named after Arnold Kegel, a gynecologist who recommended them back in the 1940s to help women with urinary incontinence, or diminished bladder control, which can happen after childbirth.
If you're not already doing Kegel exercises, start them now. Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles may help prevent or treat urinary stress incontinence, a problem that affects up to 70 percent of women during or after pregnancy. (It's not uncommon for urinary incontinence to strike older women, too, so make doing Kegels a lifelong habit.) Kegel exercises may also help reduce the risk of anal incontinence.
Because Kegels improve circulation to your rectal and vaginal area, they can help keep hemorrhoids at bay and speed healing after an episiotomy or tear during childbirth. Finally, continuing to do Kegel exercises regularly after giving birth not only helps you maintain bladder control, it also improves the muscle tone of your vagina, making sex more enjoyable.

Don't give me any ideas?
Remembering to do kegels was a big running joke here when I was pregnant with my DS.

Re: Have you done your kegels today?
I have read a million descriptions on this and I still honestly have no idea how to do them! I don't know if I am doing it correctly... but I do something that I *think* are kegels everyday

Re: Have you done your kegels today?
I so don't do them with any sort of consistency...I hope I'm not sorry later on.
I also did them as soon as I saw the subject.

They say to practice while you are peeing... make the flow stop and start and then you know you are doing a kegel properly.
