Congrats :-) Well kegel exercise are designed to strengthen the pelvic muscles therefore helping us during child birth. There are lots of infos on the web about it and most of them are really easy to follow. Of course before trying something new, do everything in moderation. And make sure that you understand how it is properly done.

If you do them the right way, Kegel exercises can help you prevent or control urinary incontinence and prepare for childbirth. Kegel (KAY-gul or KEY-gul) exercises strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder and bowel. If you do Kegel exercises regularly and keep your pelvic floor muscles toned, you may reduce your risk of incontinence and similar problems as you get older. Kegel exercises can also help you control urinary incontinence.
Kegel exercises are recommended especially during pregnancy. Well-toned pelvic floor muscles may make you more comfortable as your due date approaches. You may be less likely to develop urine leakage — common near the end of pregnancy and prone to persist after you've given birth.
Finally, Kegel exercises — along with counseling and sex therapy — may be helpful to women who have persistent problems reaching orgasm.
