A pelvic floor examination during pregnancy helps you understand exactly what's going on with your body — how your pelvic floor is functioning, whether it's coping well with the demands of pregnancy, and how ready it is for birth. From after your 20-week scan, we can assess how things are tracking, highlight areas to focus on before labour, and give you practical strategies to support a smoother delivery and a stronger recovery afterwards. Many people don't think about their pelvic floor until something feels wrong post-birth — this is about getting ahead of that.
