Hey, Erin. This is Cheryl Falk. So, I’m in nursing school, and I actually saw a prolapsed vagina last semester in clinical. Not my favorite day at clinical. But anyway, one way to prevent this is doing Kegel excerises, and you won’t have to buy anything. You should do them as often as you remember to during the day.

OMG.
That is possible? I don’t think any body parts that are attached to yourself could ever fall off. Well, you can cut it off, but never let it fall off your body! Gosh, that freaked me out. x_x

(That story totally made me forget abt that cute baby!)

And here I thought “fecal incontinence” was the worst birth-related side effect I’d ever heard.

PS…I giggled a bit at the line “like you are trying to stop yourself from peeing and farting at the same time” from the last commenter…cuz I’m real mature like that.

Do not buy gadgets – just follow this woman’s way, who refers to herself as the Kegel Queen.
(Alyce Adams) The basic info is that most of us have been taught to do them incorrectly. The 100-200 per day that is often recommended is too much and can cause the problems you are trying to solve to be worse. A better goal is 30-45 a day, each held for 10 seconds. Squeeze vagina AND anus, but not abs, like you are trying to stop yourself from peeing and farting at the same time. Start squeezing on the exhale, hold for 10 1-second breaths doing shallow breaths, release. Aim for 12 per session, 3-4 sessions a day.

My Dad who was super friendly and talked to EVERY ONE came home one day with a present for my sister. He was so excited he told me, “The lady that owns the chinese restaurant, well she gave me a present to give to your sister!”. Me, “That’s great Dad” while I was probably checking my phone or something. Then, realizing that was a bit weird and my Dad had a penchant in his younger days to bring you “presents” of expired food that he rescued from the dumpster, I snapped to and asked “What?”

“She gave me a present…”
“That’s great, why would she give a present to her, she doesn’t even eat there?”
“Well I told her that she just had another baby and so she gave her these.”

He hands me a hinged box similar to but bigger than a jewelry box, covered in asian inspired silk fabric…. I knew without opening them what they were. I looked at him to see if his eyes were twinkling because he LOVED a good joke. No hint that he knew.

I opened the box just to be sure and you guessed it, BenWa Balls.

“Dad, what are you doing?!”
“Huh? Just give them back, they’re for your sister.”
“Really? What is she supposed to do with them.”
“I’ll show you.” (yes, my jaw was on the floor, I was scared but curious too!)
He takes them and starts rolling them around in his hand.
“Dad, why should “my sister” do that?”
“Well, actually she said that they were for me to roll around like this to help me recover from my stroke but she said that “your sister” could use them too since she’s had 3 kids.”
I checked – straight face
“Dad, you and “my sister” are going to SHARE those?!”
I had tears coming out of my eyes I was laughing so hard.
“Of course! Isn’t that nice? Now quit being so weird!”

Later when my Dad shows my sister the “gift” – she ran!!
