Practice Kegels. Kegels are exercises that tone the vaginal muscles so they can stretch more easily for birth. To do a Kegel, tighten and relax the muscles around your urethra, vagina, and anus, as if you're trying to hold back urine. Keep the muscles contracted for about 10 seconds. Repeat 10 to 20 times in a row, two to three times a day. Perform prenatal perineal massage. With your doctor's okay, start about six weeks before your due date. Here's how: Sit up, leaning back, in bed, or stand with a foot resting on a chair. Lubricate your fingers with vegetable oil or a water-soluble gel like K-Y Jelly.

  O ver the years, a lot of women who suddenly or intentionally found themselves in motherhood have had to go through the process of pregnancy, delivery and subsequently face the aftermath of pregnancy which is also known as postpartum. Lots of women go through diverse changes in their body in which each person’s body vary from the other depending on the genetics, while some experience weight loss, some experience excess or normal weight gain. The belly undergoes more changes during pregnancy than any other body part. Depending on your age, genetics, and the amount of weight you gain, this can mean stretch marks and excess flab, or a "pooch," postpartum. It can take as long as six weeks for the uterus to revert back to its old size, which will decrease the size of your belly. But since the abdominal skin has been stretched and pulled, it may never again be as taut as it was. Keeping the core muscles [abdominals and back] strong during pregnancy helps the abdominals recover ...
