Do Kegal exercises really work and tighten it up down there after having a baby????

Answer 1

yes... of course!! It has been recommended by medicla personnel once you will be delivering a baby soon...

Once you have located the muscles simply tighten and relax the mucsle over and over, about 200 times a day. These are basic kegels. There are many variations on kegels: elevator kegels (Where you tighten slowly, in increments going in and out, like an elevator stopping on several floors.), you can hold the muscle tightened for five seconds, you can bulge the muscles out at the end, and many other variations.

Kegeling provides many benefits:


*Conditioned muscles will make birth easier, and your perineum *will more likely be intact (fewer tears and episiotomies)
*Sexual enjoyment is enhanced for both partners
*It can prevent prolapses of pelvic organs
*It can help prevent leaking urine when you sneeze or cough

The aim of Kegel exercises is to restore muscle tone and strength to the pubococcygeus muscles in order to prevent or reduce pelvic floor problems and to increase sexual gratification. Kegel exercises are said to be good for treating vaginal prolapse[1] and preventing uterine prolapse in women.[2]

Kegel exercises may be beneficial in treating urinary incontinence in both men and women.[3] Kegel exercises are also known as pelvic floor exercises, or simply Kegels.


hope i provided you the answer... : )

Answer 2

I never really did any of the kegals after any of my three births. I found that I tightened up just fine naturally. The only thing I would do is try to stop myself midstream during peeing. When I could do it again I figured I was in good shape.

Answer 3

Yes it does, it really works. And if you had a loss of control of your urine from strenuous labor, it helps control that. Its like doing arms curls, the more you do, the stronger and tighter your arms gets. The more kegals you do, the tighter and stronger it gets for you.

P.S. Not being gross, but it helps with better O's if you get my drift.

I just had a baby 2 months ago, very hard labor. Kegals definitely helped postpardum.

Answer 4

You should naturally go back to almost the same with out the kegals. Kegals are very good exercise for bladder control though. For those people who are "gotta go gotta go right now" they work real good.

Answer 5

Yes, they do work. I used to wear a pad just in case I laughed after i had my baby. I bought the little balls, and did the exercises, and it worked. And who are these guys on here thinking that they can answer any question about pregnancy and birth? They have no idea.

Answer 6

Yes, they do. I had 2 babies, 2 years apart, and did them for both, during and after pregnancy. They also help speed the healing time from what I've heard, but no evidence to back that up.

Answer 7

Yes, but it is a muscle so you have to keep up with the exercises, just like you have to keep going to the gym if you want your other muscles to stay in shape.

Answer 8

There is a new biofeedback program to help women with incontinence. It targets the muscles "down there", so you don't start using
your abdominal muscles when targeting lower muscles. Just a thought, since I have friend who tells me about her adventures with this new biofeedback.

Answer 9

Yes!!! they strengthen the pelvic floor!! :) And when you're 70, you're going to be glad you did them!! (keeping the pelvic floor strong helps with "leaking" as you age too!!! ) LOTS of GR8 reasons to do them!!

Answer 10

Oh yes...and it will make you partner very happy too. I have a friend who brags that she can crimp a straw with her muscles "down there". Now that is my goal. lolol Have fun.
