Pregnancy Conditions

You’re pregnant – congratulations! Pregnancy is a wonderful and exciting time, but can also be challenging. As your baby grows, your body significantly changes – hormonally, posturally, physically and psychologically. It can be hard to know what’s normal, when to seek help and from whom.

You might be experiencing pain in your back, buttock or hip, making walking hard. Or you might have noticed bladder leakage for the first time or be struggling with constipation. Perhaps you’ve noticed a gap between your stomach muscles. These physical changes are common but not inevitable, and you don’t have to put up with them.

Alternatively, you might be feeling great physically, but wondering if you’re doing your pelvic floor exercises correctly, if it's ok to continue running and what you can do to prepare your body for the birth of your baby.

Pregnancy is easier and more comfortable with expert advice and practical treatment. It helps give you peace of mind and allows you to enjoy this special time, feeling empowered for labour and confident about your recovery.

At Pelvic Health Matters, we know all about pregnancy. Working with your doctor or midwife, we can help you stay fit and healthy during your pregnancy. We’re confident that our proven pathway is the best way to restore your pelvic health and live your best life.
