Tip #4 - Pelvic Floor Excercises a.k.a Kegels!!!

While you are reading this, do a quick round of kegels!

Prenatal Moms
By increasing your tone and elasticity of your pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy, the muscles will be more effective during your birth. A study from Sweden claims, the stronger the pelvic floor muscles, the shorter the pushing period. And who wants to push for a long time!!??

New Moms
After having a baby, the pelvic floor muscles have been stretched to their maxium. Kegels can help regain strength and elesticity. This will help prevent urine leakage, prolapse bladder and uterus and restore cirulation promoting healing from tears or an episiotomy.
