Today we are chatting about how to know if you are doing kegels correctly! Doing kegels or pelvic floor contractions incorrectly can do more harm than good. There are 4 ways to check!
1. Place your fingers on the outside and you should feel the tissues move up and away
2. Internal Self-Check. Place a clean finger inside and it should feel like a baby suckling as you are doing kegels
3. Use a mirror to watch your pelvic floor move up and away
4. Get assessed by a pelvic floor physical therapist!
One of the most important things is to have your infant CPR up-to-date:
