serious question about kegels???

[mamaMcAnulty]

Ok ladies ive Googled and it seems to all say the same....
I can tighten and do kegels on my husbands penis and obviously he can feel me doing it but I wanna do it without that.. doctors say u can put ur finger inside and see if your doing them as well if it gets tight on ur finger.. but my question is this..

Vagina tightens=correct
Anus tightens=correct
butt cheeks tighten= incorrect
So its ok for actual butthole to tighten and relax when your vagina tightens an relaxes right? ???

Well I appreciate everyones responses :) @hannahJohnson ohhh yay that's how I do mine just checking then

That's just what I learned from hospital and my OB. Sooooo... Just giving information that I've been given.

I don't know about that. There's a perineal massage that you can do to reduce ur chances of tearing during birth. You can look that up. But from what I know, they no longer reccomend doing kegels. If it hurts you to do squats then don't do them :( you shouldn't put yourself through pain! Lol.

My anus and vagina both tighten when I do kegels. I dont know how to do one without the other. And I would disagree about it being a disadvantage, when I was giving birth I had great control of my vaginal muscles and pushed very effectively.

@brianamz97 what happens if it hurts my vagina bones hurt so damn much that I cant squat :(

[mamaMcAnulty]

@ericatoday so the two that I wrote saying correct is in fact correct and the last one is incorrect???

[Brianamz97]

I went to my birthing class in April and they said that they no longer reccomend doing kegels. That squatting is way more effective and kegels can actually be a disadvantage. Just what I recently learned

Yeah usually you can feel yourself tighten when you do it without having to feel with your figures.
