Pregnancy & Your Pelvic Floor Health

With the joys of pregnancy and motherhood comes a new world of health considerations that many women may not be aware of. Today we’re here to help you understand one of the most common but often overlooked health conditions for mums—bladder leaks.

Regardless of age or health, bladder leaks can affect all women. In fact, one in three women experiences bladder leaks in their life. So, why is that, and what can you do to avoid it? Let’s dive into the facts.

While your body is working to support a little human, your pelvic floor muscles are under extra pressure to keep your pelvic organs in check. They’re responsible for supporting your lower abdomen during pregnancy and stretching to allow for childbirth, not to mention aiding in pushing your little one into the world. With so many essential jobs on their task list, it’s no wonder the muscles are weakened.

Weak pelvic floor muscles mean they no longer have the strength or control to stop bladder leaks when you laugh, sneeze or cough. Luckily, that uncomfortable situation can be avoided with the guidance of a pelvic floor training program like PeriCoach.

With PeriCoach, women of any age can strengthen and rehabilitate their muscles to feel like themselves again. Whether you’re thinking about having your first child or are preparing for baby number three, there is no better time to start pelvic floor training than now.

You may start with a short jog around the block, but over time your exercises will help you grow stronger and build endurance for the big event. Adding three minutes of pelvic floor exercises to your daily self care routine can prepare your muscles to bounce back after the changes of pregnancy. It can also do a world of good to support your health today.

Being stronger down there leads to better posture, enhanced sexual experience and improved bladder control – everything that points to a healthier you.
