What is a kegel?

A kegel is the name of a pelvic floor exercise, named after Dr. Kegel who discovered the exercise. These muscles are attached to the pelvic bone and act like a hammock, holding in your pelvic organs. To try and isolate these muscles trying stopping and starting the flow of urine.


How do I do the kegel exercise?
Once you have located the muscles simply tighten and relax the mucsle over and over, about 200 times a day. These are basic kegels. There are many variations on kegels: elevator kegels (Where you tighten slowly, in increments going in and out, like an elevator stopping on several floors.), you can hold the muscle tightened for five seconds, you can bulge the muscles out at the end, and many other variations.


Why would I want to do kegel exercises?
Kegeling provides many benefits:
Conditioned muscles will make birth easier, and your perineum will more likely be intact (fewer tears and episiotomies)
Sexual enjoyment is enhanced for both partners
It can prevent prolapses of pelvic organs
It can help prevent leaking urine when you sneeze or cough

Secret

Had a great time yesterday. Attended Dr A.R. Bernard's weekend service. Wow it's great! I was again reminded to be spiritually heathly. Thank God for nursey helpers so both wy and myself can enjoy the wonderful service. Janine slept during the journey back and for almost 2 hours, by the time she woke up it was my turn to get tired, so I place her in the bed, seeing that both of us were still sleeping, she slept again for another 2 hours.

We left amk at about 7pm so we can grab some bite outside but the two of us weren't that hungry yet. So we had tu-tu kueh and corn cup at AMKHub and wy starting to strave for food when it was about 9pm. Had sashimi at ichiban sushi and we order a 3-4 pax share of sashimi, the chef kept starring at us hahhaha... Next we head of for movies. It has been a while since I last watch movies. Secret --- original storybook and directed by Jay himself, overall... not bad, a nice romance story. Most importantly, we had a great day together.

More Pictures from KL

Had revolving lunch at KL Towers for RM100. Exp right! Anyway, it's an experience. You can really see the entire KL city up there. The only problem I had was - it's moving too fast, I felt so sick that I cant swallow anything down my throat. I felt like having my morning sickness back. I only managed to get some desserts and fruits down. Which ended up in the drain of Sungei Wong's CP. There goes my RM100 worthed of fruits.... I dont think I will ever have lunch there again. That's for sure cuz the food there is simplay CMI.

Janine Can Walk !!!

Janine finally walked from one corner of the house to another end - all by herself, without being asked. She stood up and started walking... next without us knowing she is already jumping up and down by herself. Landing on her butt and go on and on... then she started dancing and shaking her butt during the commerical break.

Well done, Janine! Mummy love you!
