Tip of the Day: 09.12.2019

We well remember being exhorted by Cosmopolitan magazine in the 1970s to exercise our Kegel muscles – pelvic floor muscles – while waiting at the bus stop! But you know, they were right. Strong pelvic floor muscles help bladder control and can support the extra weight of pregnancy. Do this exercise several times daily: tighten your pelvic floor muscles (the ones you use to stop urine mid-flow). Hold for a slow count of three. Relax and repeat as often as you can. (Bus stop optional.)
