The fetus is most vulnerable during the first 12 weeks. During this period of time, all of the major organs and body systems are forming and can be damaged if the fetus is exposed to drugs, German measles, radiation, tobacco, and chemical and toxic substances. Even though the organs and body systems are fully formed by the end of 12 weeks, the fetus cannot survive independently. Women experience these changes differently. Some symptoms of pregnancy continue for several weeks or months, while others are only experienced for a short period of time.
Some women experience many symptoms, while other women experience only a few or none at all.
Kegel exercises are pelvic floor exercises that help tone the muscles in the vagina and perineum, which is important for delivery. Conditioned muscles will make the birthing process easier. In addition, these exercises, when done after delivery, can help to speed up the recovery process. Tighten the muscles around your vagina and anus. Hold the muscles tightened as long as you can, working up to 8 to 10 seconds each time.
