Low-Intensity Physical Therapy for Prevention of Pre and Postpartum Urinary Incontinence

Stopped early · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Urinary Incontinence

In brief

The purpose of this study is to determine if pelvic exercises can reduce the occurrence of urinary incontinence (involuntary loss of urine) before and after delivery. We would also like to see if performing pelvic exercises before birth has an effect on labor and/or delivery, and if there are any specific characteristics for developing urinary incontinence during pregnancy and after delivery.
