Can I Get Sore from Kegels?

Now that you’re read that word, you must now do them. It’s impulse - like Pavlov’s dog.

I was just lying in bed with Trouble begging her in my head trying without success to get her to fall asleep. When The Boss was first born, I started counting to 100 in my head when I asked prayed begged willed wanted her to do something like fall asleep at 3:34am. I figured in my warped new mama mind, that when I finished silently counting to 100, she’d do as I wanted. It actually worked a few times, and that got my OCD brain to think it would work forever. That was almost 4 years ago, and I still count to 100 to will them to sleep.

So tonight, as I was counting to 100 along with the ticks of the clock, I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to do my Kegels.

tick - clench - tick - release - tick - clench - tick - release - tick - clench - tick - release - tick - clench - release - tick

Correlation: 2 kids out the vuh-ja-ja = need to do your Kegels on a regular basis

While I was in the middle of my Kegels (please don’t visualize), I thought, “Can I get sore from Kegels?” Or, is that the reason for doing Kegels. And who is Ms. (I hope a woman discovered these) Kegel? And if I get sore, what will THAT feel like? Will I need to put IcyHot on my vuh-ja-ja?

And if I do, will I like it?
