I am 7 months pregnant and about to start working on yoga exercises and kegels to help prepare me for an easier labor. Should I continue these exercises until I give birth, or should I continue for a shorter period of time???
Nope no reason to stop doing them. They will do you no harm. You should be doing them at least twice a day and keep doing them asasp after the birth, especially if you have tears or stitches as this will help promote blood flow to the site and help it heal quicker.
For how long should I continue Kegel Exercises during my pregnancy?

You should have been doing them this whole time to help avoid urinary incontinence that can occur with child birth
You should do them until you deliver.

I flunked kegels LOL. I did them for like a day and gave up.
I did do yoga and I think it helped in being more relaxed and I was not as sore before and after birth.
Good luck with your pregnancy

I would say until you give birth. The more preparation you have the better.
