Pelvic floor exercises are an important form of exercise for all women, but especially for pregnant women. Previously it was believed that strong pelvic floor muscles did birth harder and longer, but now we know that strong pelvic floor muscles on the contrary can make birth less, prevents damage during birth, preventing urine leakage both during pregnancy and after birth.

Pelvic floor muscles are the muscles that surround the urethra, vagina and rectum. Muscles are internal and can not be seen. They can also be difficult to isolate, and the pelvic floor exercises requires a bit of exercise. The training involves pulling the muscles together and pull them up in the abdomen as hard as you can, hold for 5-10 seconds and then release the muscles calm down. Exercise daily and do as many repetitions as you want. (more…)

They occur with varying intensity. Usually the morning upon awakening, you are “smeared”, unable to eat for breakfast. You feel little twinges in the abdomen, as if you have your period. The urge to urinate more often, your breasts are painful (especially on the sides), they are
harder and slightly larger. The areola surrounding the nipple is darker and dotted with small tubercles. Finally, you have plenty of time sleepiness.

He also noted the lilac specific cervix. (more…)
