What are the most common pelvic floor issues in pregnancy and at what point should you worry? That's what we will cover in this video.

When you are pregnant, your pelvic floor is challenged because of your baby growing on top of it, along with the different postural changes happening in your body. That is why it can sometimes trigger pelvic floor problems during pregnancy, which can be distressing when you don't know anything about it and when to consult. I hope this video will soothe your anxieties about some of the possible prenatal pelvic floor symptoms you may experience.
