Hello and welcome to the 2nd episode in this foundational pelvic floor podcast series. I hope you got to know your pelvic floor a little better since episode 1 so that we can hit the ground running today with some great exercises.

Today we’re going to cover:
Exactly how to contract and relax your pelvic floor correctly
Different prompts to help you understand how to squeeze your muscles
Why relaxation is just as important as contracting
And we’ll sneak a little pelvic floor workout in too!

We know that approximately 30% of women do their pelvic floor exercises incorrectly and I absolutely do not want you to be part of that statistic.

Imagine if you spent all of your pregnancy wasting your time by doing your pelvic floor exercises incorrectly! Nobody has time for that, so let’s learn how to exercise properly and reap the benefits of a strong and healthy pelvic floor muscle.

Today we will also hear from Pregnancy Posse members Kate and Briony about their best tips for remembering to do their pelvic floor exercises well.

Remember that this is episode 2 in a 5 part series on the pelvic floor. So stay tuned for upcoming episodes where we will be chatting about managing incontinence and prolapse, how to recognise if you have an over-active pelvic floor muscle and understanding the impact that pregnancy and birth can have on the pelvic floor.

For those keen-beans who want to listen to all of these episodes straight away the entire series is now available inside my online pregnancy program, the Pregnancy Posse. You can watch this entire series plus access pregnancy safe workouts by visiting thepregnancyposse.com where you can trial it for 7 days.
