Quit the Kegels?

I know that we women are told over and over, Do Your Kegels!

Are Kegels really the magic pill to help preserve our bladder control/prepare for birth?

Well, I came across this post Pelvic Floor Party: Kegels are NOT invited. Which blows that theory out of the water.  She throws out the idea that squatting is a huge part of it.

Squatting is something that our ancestors did at least 3 times a day as they went to the bathroom.  Many of us today can’t squat worth squat!

There is a follow up post, which says you don’t need to throw the kegels out with the bathwater.  Pelvic Floor Encore

• As a mom who occasionally pees while I sneeze, this topic is very interesting to me.
• As an expecting mom (you, not me!) you will probably enjoy this post about The Hunting and Gathering MAMA
• As a Hypnobabies Instructor who has to demonstrate and teach squatting, I am going to be practicing and working harder to do this myself.  Here is step by step instructions!

So the final point – squats and kegels work together to help you have the best pelvic floor ever!
