Why should you do pelvic floor muscle exercises during pregnancy??

Rates of urinary incontinence (UI) during pregnancy are between 31-42%. Onset of UI during pregnancy is predictive of having post-partum UI.

Doing regular and EFFECTIVE pelvic floor muscles exercises can reduce the incidence of incontinence during and after pregnancy. It has also been shown that PF muscle training can reduce first and second stage labour time with no negative effect on birth outcome.

The key here is correct and effective technique of PF muscle training. Getting an assessment with a women’s health physio will allow you to learn how to effectively work and strengthen these muscles.

Strength training is one of the best forms of training for women at any stage in life, so it is surprising that on average only about 20% of women who actually train lift weights or resistance train. Sometimes there is a misconception that lifting weights can be unsafe (particularly in pregnancy), can cause pelvic health issues or can harm your joints. In fact, the complete opposite is proven to be true. Resistance training is incredibly important in the management of pelvic floor dysfunction and hormonal changes.

All forms of movement and training has its place but including at least 2 strength/resistance training sessions per week can improve your quality of life.

Next week we start our last BeBetter Class and BeBetter Postnatal TERM before Christmas. Small group based strength training for all abilities.

Antenatal Pelvic Health Checkups

For most women the pelvic floor muscles journey starts during your first pregnancy. Leaflets and social media algorithms will speak to you about the importance of doing kegal/pelvic floor exercises. This acts as a great starting point but it is generic. The pelvic floor is a muscle we can’t see its action and often can’t feel it which can translates to poor technique and sometimes incorrect technique.

I always explain a little bit of logic to pregnant women who attend me for an antenatal appointment. Pelvic floor is so important for many reasons. Consider this….

As baby develops there is so much more stretch and load on this muscle that really challenges its function to support and keep un continent.

The muscle collectively stretches x2.5 its resting tone. In particular the most superficial muscles at the entrance of the va**na stretches nearly x 4 times its resting tone. Every other muscle in our body has a max stretch capacity of x 1.5 times its resting tone.

It has an active role in stimulating the Ferguson reflex in the 2nd stage of labour for optimal baby position

Vaginal delivery stretches our soft tissue in our pelvis- Muscle, Ligaments and Fascia. Muscle is the only contractile soft tissue meaning we can work to strengthen it. The same cannot be said about ligaments and fascia. We need a strong mobile pelvic floor muscle to make up for the laxity in the fascia and ligaments after birth.

So if that isn’t enough to get you to consider what you need to do individually to optimise your pelvic floor let me leave you with this thought…… majority of my antenatal consultations women present to me saying they are doing their pelvic floor exercise. When I assess, majority of the ladies will leave with a different approach on how to maximise their pelvic floor function…..
