Your pelvic floor does so much more than you think — it supports your growing baby, helps during birth, and plays a vital role in your recovery. In this episode, I share why pelvic floor exercises while pregnant are one of the most powerful ways to prepare your body for birth and beyond.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • Why a strong and functional pelvic floor matters during pregnancy and labour
  • The difference between strength, responsiveness, relaxation, and coordination
  • How pelvic floor exercises can reduce the risk of interventions like forceps
  • When to start pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy
  • Common challenges such as fatigue and pelvic girdle pain, and how to manage them
  • When to see a women’s health physiotherapist for extra support
  • A simple guided set of pelvic floor exercises for birth preparation and recovery

Tune in until the end for a guided pelvic floor exercise session you can try at home.
