Pelvic floor exercises while pregnant are very important. Surprisingly, 1 in 5 women don’t know what they are for and 23% don’t know where they are.

The pelvic floor is a large hammock of muscles stretching from side to side across the floor of the pelvis in both men and women. It is an important muscle for women of all ages and can help women during the birth process and afterwards.

The pelvic floor supports inner organs and if the muscle is weak it can cause bladder and bowl control weakness. You may even get injuries to the pelvic floor following a vaginal birth. Stool leakage and bowel incontinence can follow immediately after birth or present itself a few months to years later.
