Pelvic floor exercises (kegel exercises)

Tighten the muscles around your back passage, vagina and front passage and lift up inside as if trying to stop passing wind and urine at the same time. It is very easy to bring other, irrelevant muscles into play, so try to isolate your pelvic floor as much as possible by

. not pulling in your tummy,
. not squeezing your legs together,
. not tightening your buttocks and
. not holding your breath.

The effort should be coming from the pelvic floor.

For how many seconds can you hold the pelvic floor tight? Try holding it as long and as hard as you can. Build up to a maximum of 10 seconds. Rest for 4 seconds and then repeat the contraction as many times as you can up to a maximum of 10 contractions.

Try to do these exercises in a slow and controlled way with a rest of 4 seconds between each muscle contraction. Practise your maximum number of held contractions (up to 10) about six times each day.
good luck :) Breeze replied. Hi Moni,
Well Pelvic excersizes are basically where you lie down on the floor with your hands to the sides bend your knees n raise your pelvic up n back to the floor.
But I am not sure whether it is advised for pregnant women. You should consult your doc before starting any excersices during pregnancy. Tho walking is considered very good.
