Hello and welcome to the 5th episode, the final episode, in this pelvic floor podcast series.

Today we are chatting about the impacts that pregnancy and birth have on the pelvic floor muscles. You will have the greatest appreciation for the human body after today’s episode as it truly is incredible.

We’ll discuss:

• How much load the pelvic floor is under in pregnancy
• How far this muscle can stretch during vaginal delivery
• Why having a C-section does not mean you won’t need to do your pelvic floor exercises
• The importance of horizontal rest after birth
• We will also hear from Pregnancy Posse members Kate and Briony about their experience with pelvic floor recovery after birth and their best tips and advice to share with those women who are currently pregnant
