Ask Physio Kath - Best pelvic floor exercises to help prepare for birth?
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.
