Before getting too excited it’s really important to get your doctors go-ahead first.

Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor

So you’re pregnant, or thinking about it and have heard countless horror stories of haemorrhoids and bladder control never being the same following childbirth. Well, rest assured, it doesn’t need to be that way! The pelvic floor muscles form the base of the group of muscles referred to as the core. This sling of muscles supports the bladder, bowel and uterus.

Our antenatal education resources include a detailed guide to childbirth, feeding, sleep, settling and infant CPR. This bundle of baby classes combines four comprehensive courses to support you throughout pregnancy, birth and the first 12 months of your baby’s life.

The material in our antenatal education is available fully online after purchase, so you’re always able to access the course content at any time.
