Pregnant mothers face several prevalent pelvic floor health issues, significantly impacting their comfort and well-being. Conditions such as urinary incontinence, experienced by about 40% of pregnant women, and pelvic organ prolapse, highlight the critical need for pelvic health awareness and intervention.
