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.
