You are supposed to do your kegals all through pregnancy and even after. Do them as many times as you would like. I don't really know if they help, but I was only in labor for 2 hours and one of those hours was because the epidural slowed down the labor. If you get on babycenter.com, it will tell you more about doing kegals

It's perfectly fine to do kegels during pregnancy as often as it is comfortable (it's actually recommended). Kegels really help for vaginal births, especially if you end up needing an episiotomy. I had an episiotomy and the exercises made it not completely weak after giving birth and helped to heal the cut post-partum. A strong kegel will definitely help with pushing too.

My doctor suggested 150-200 a day but who remembers to do that. I probablly remembered to do about 25 maybe once a week.

Yes, you should be doing Kegels all through pregnancy. They will help you strengthen and tone your pelvic floor.

Yes, it won't hurt a thing, unless you OB said otherwise. You can do as often as you like.
