Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about what this project provides, how to use its information, and when to seek individualized care.
Is this website a substitute for medical care?
No. The Pregnant Pelvis Project provides general educational information only. It cannot diagnose a condition, recommend treatment for you, or replace a qualified healthcare professional who knows your history.
Can I follow movement information from this site during pregnancy?
Movement information on this site is general, not a personalized exercise plan. Whether an activity is appropriate depends on your health, pregnancy, experience, and clinician’s guidance. Discuss meaningful changes with your prenatal care professional, and stop and seek medical guidance if an activity causes concerning symptoms.
Should I seek help for pelvic pain, pressure, or bladder or bowel symptoms?
These concerns can occur during pregnancy, but you do not have to dismiss or manage them alone. Speak with your prenatal care professional if symptoms persist, worsen, worry you, or limit everyday activity. They can help determine whether assessment by a qualified pelvic health professional is appropriate.
What can pelvic health care include?
Individual care varies by profession, location, and your needs. A qualified clinician may assess symptoms, movement, muscle coordination, strength, relaxation, and daily activities before discussing appropriate options. Pelvic floor care is not simply a matter of doing more Kegels.
