  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Oh yeah! :)

But if you're not already doing pelvic floor exercises, start doing them. They'll help cut the problem down as much as possible.

(if you're more than a few weeks pg, though, start doing them when sitting down - otherwise bub's weight can cause too much strain on the muscles)

What she said. :thumbsup:

In my Bradley classes they had us start w/ 50 kegals per day. In sets of 10... like put a note in your bathroom across from the toilet that says 'kegel' and each time you see it, do your 10.

By the second week we were doing 100 (still just hold and release)

By the 3rd we're still doing 100 but hold and then release to the count of three.

I can tell a difference in this muscle over just three weeks! I guess it helps hold the baby up, and also helps with the suspension of the bladder (thus helping you to not wet).

During birth it helps the baby's head into proper position.

Also, the stronger it is, the higher up it stays during birth (instead of drooping into the birth canal) and so if it's strong will stay completely out of the way if you need an episomity. Where as if it droops, it's been known to happen that people accidently cut it too! :( That causes a much longer healing time and sometimes they don't know they've cut it, until your 2 week check up when you talk about the pain your still in... and then they need to go in and repair!

I haden't done them except a few once every week or 2 until I learned these things.. now I'm doing them very regularly!
