They are also called kegle exercises and
you are supposed to hold for five
seconds... Release for five seconds..
Start off doing reps of 5 maybe 3 times a
day.. But you should work up to doing
50-75 total a day. You tighten the
muscles in your butt and the ones that
stop you from peeing

Hi there, they say it takes 6 weeks for
your body to return to normal. Just keep
perservering and it will be ok

Don't freak out- you'e not going to end up
wearing incontinance knickers!!!
It will probably take at least 6 weeks
until you can tighten the muscles enough
to stop the flow of urine- with my second
baby, I could barely feel the muscles, let
alone tighten them for a good few weeks
!!
It's great that you're starting to do it
early, you'll be fine.

I had the opposite problem. I lost the
urge to urinate! In the hospital the
nurses kept asking me if I needed to go
and I said no, but when they pushed on my
tummy my bladder was full. I had to do
that for a week after I got home because I
never once had that "need to pee" feeling!
It took over a week after .Aly's birth to
start feeling it again.
