She was good with the gentle reminders for the following months too ....
the
red spot trick sure helps the memory

Do tell. What's the red spot trick?
errr... just stick up red spots (or other stickers) at strategic points
around the house (next to the chair where I usually bf, on the fridge, above
the washing machine, above the kitchen sink, on the computer etc) as
reminders to do some kegels when you pass them. I've got metal frames in
the walls here so I use magnets which I can move around (helps to combat the
fact that you don't notice the spots after a while).

Ah, I see. That probably works better than my current method of
remembering, which is to wait for someone to write "kegel" on MKP...

(episiotomy & 4th degree tear) and still have trouble with it 4 years later.

Oh my goodness, I saw this on Oprah. So sad, and yet so amazing the help
that they are giving. This is a great cause.
