Let's talk about your pelvic floor
Norfolk and Waveney Local Maternity and Neonatal Systems (LMNS) are currently working to improve the pelvic health care that you receive from the NHS during and after pregnancy.
Pelvic health problems may include things like leaking of urine (pee), prolapse (bulging or swelling), injuries and infection, and pelvic girdle pain - pain in the pelvic area and/or back.
Please visit https://www.justonenorfolk.nhs.uk/pregnancy-early-days/having-a-baby/pelvic-health-during-pregnancy/ for more information.
We have a number of pelvic health and maternal health videos that can be viewed below.
You may also find the NHS Squeezy app helpful.
