Pelvic-floor exercise and pelvic-health support

Pelvic-floor work should be comfortable and coordinated with normal breathing; more squeezing is not always the answer to pain or tension.

Direct guidance

What to know or do

Ask a pelvic-health professional when there is pain, heaviness, leakage or uncertainty about relaxing as well as contracting the muscles.

What changes the answer

  • Your previous experience, current pregnancy and any clinical restriction
  • Fall, collision, overheating, altitude and breath-holding risk
  • Pain, bleeding, dizziness, contractions, fluid loss or breathlessness during activity

General guidance

When to get individual help

This is a general pregnancy baseline, not personal clearance. Change course and ask for advice if symptoms, complications or an individual care plan make the situation different.
