Should you do kegels to prepare for delivery? I think a better question is, should you do kegels while pregnant, and how should you prepare for delivery?
Research shows that working on pelvic floor strength during pregnancy improves postpartum urinary incontinence outcomes, but doing kegels won’t improve labor. It’s important not to confuse what could be good for overall pelvic floor health with what’s best for labor prep. There is time to do both! We just need more education during the pregnancy and postpartum continuum.
