Pelvic Floor Exercises For Pregnant Women: This video is a daily pregnancy kegels routine to prepare for an easier birth, faster recovery after birth and to help prevent leaking when you sneeze or laugh. For the greatest benefit do these exercises 3-6 x per day.
If you are able to make pelvic floor exercises a habit and do them regularly you will see a huge difference in your long-term pelvic health. Some countries have every woman after birth see a pelvic floor physio and I highly recommend going to see one if you are able.

Learn how to Kegel after childbirth in 2 easy steps with Pelvic Floor Physio Michelle from These Kegel exercises help you strengthen your pelvic floor and recover sensation after childbirth starting within a week after childbirth (for normal vaginal delivery or c/section).
Postpartum Kegels Beginners Routine
Kegels are important postnatal exercises for all women. Benefits of doing Kegel exercises after childbirth include:
* Pelvic floor strengthening
* Restoring pelvic floor sensation and awareness
* Improving bladder and bowel control
* Regaining core muscle control for good posture and for supporting your pelvis and spine.
Kegels after pregnancy and postpartum can be difficult to feel. There are 2 steps to doing these exercises correctly:
1. Squeezing closed the 3 pelvic openings
2. Lifting inwards around the 3 pelvic openings
Strategies to improve awareness of the correct Kegels technique and sensation include lying on your side and using your hand or a rolled hand towel over your pelvic floor as a reference point for finding and contracting your pelvic floor muscles.
Start by learning to contract and relax your pelvic floor muscles using this correct technique. Then progress to the postpartum beginners routine. Try to do your Kegel exercises daily starting with 3 second exercise contractions, repeated up to 6-8 times in a row, 3 times a day.
If you continue to have difficulty doing Kegel exercises after 2-3 weeks, it can help to see a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist to assist with your pelvic floor exercises and postnatal recovery.

Getting your pelvic floor muscles activating properly while building strength, endurance and the ability to do fast contractions is the second step. By practicing these standing and sitting Kegels, you will help reduce episodes of leaking in a functional way.

Stand comfortably with upright posture and feet hip distance apart. Breathe normally. On exhalation, squeeze the muscles around your bladder and anus, and imagine you are trying to stop yourself from passing urine and passing wind at the same time. The feeling is one of a slight squeeze and lift around your front and back passage. Hold the contraction for the required length of time, and then relax your bladder and anal sphincter muscles. Try to avoid holding your breath, squeezing your legs together or tightening your buttocks. This will help to integrate and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles from front to back.
