Hello and welcome to the 3rd episode in this pelvic floor podcast series.

The first 2 episodes should have really prepared you for today because you should be a pelvic floor superstar by now, doing your exercises regularly 3 times/day, a combination of long holds and quick flicks and just being an all round pelvic floor star.

Which is great, because today we are chatting about all things incontinence and prolapse, for which pelvic floor training can be a very important treatment tool for.

Today we will cover:

• The 2 different types if urinary incontinence
• What exactly prolapse is and what symptoms you may have
• How pelvic floor exercises can improve both incontinence and prolapse
• We’ll also share personal stories from Pregnancy Posse members Kate and Briony on their experience with pelvic floor dysfunction

Remember that this is episode 3 in a 5 part series on the pelvic floor. So stay tuned for upcoming episodes where we will be discussing how to recognise if you have an over-active pelvic floor muscle and ways that can help you relax this muscle better as well as understanding the impact that pregnancy and birth can have on the pelvic floor.
