kegels

Is anyone doing kegel exercises....I read about how great they are to prevent tearing during labor. What's been your experience if you've done kegels in the past? I'm a ftm almost 31 wks and i just started doing kegels during my many trips to the bathroom whenever my pregnancy brain allows me to remember to do them lol. Do kegels work?!?

Yup I use them all the time to tighten up those wonderful muscles down there. I've only tinkled on myself twice but that's because I had to pee super bad then coughed nothing was holding that back. I also did them after my first baby amd y ex said I went right back to normal down there. They're a great thing to do.
