During the third trimester, most pregnant women experience chronic bladder leaking. However, bladder leaking during pregnancy isn’t something you should have to accept as normal, even though it’s common.
In this video, Susan Winograd PT, founder and owner of Pelvicore Rehab and Wellness and renowned pelvic floor physical therapist, shares practical, evidence-based strategies to help reduce leaking during pregnancy, including proper breathing mechanics, adding resistance to the exhale for deeper core support, using “the knack” (a pre-emptive pelvic floor contraction before coughing, sneezing, or lifting), and optimizing posture and alignment.
