Welcome to The Village Midwife community

Welcome!

We wanted to link you to some resources that might be helpful before doing your antenatal course with us.

Firstly - it’s super important to be doing pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy. Not only does a strong pelvic floor reduce issues such as stress incontinence but it helps you push your baby out during labour. As someone who supports lots of parents postnatally - the other concern I have is that pelvic floor issues are associated with postnatal mental health issues which is why making sure your pelvic floor is strong going into having a baby is so important!
