As the pelvis widens and baby grows, our pelvic floor muscles often work that much harder to support the pelvis and your growing baby. This can create increase tension in the pelvic floor.

For this section, a comfortable chair, a small ball (tune-up ball, lacross ball or golf ball) and loose clothing will be necessary.
