Sponsor's own description
This study aims to determine whether a structured pelvic floor muscle training program during pregnancy can reduce perineal trauma during vaginal birth. Nulliparous pregnant women at 28 weeks of gestation or later were invited to participate. Women who chose to join the training program performed supervised pelvic floor exercises twice weekly and daily home exercises. Women who declined the program received standard antenatal care. The study compared rates of severe perineal tears (third- or fourth-degree lacerations), episiotomy, the duration of the second stage of labor, postpartum urinary incontinence, and neonatal outcomes between the two groups. The goal of the study is to evaluate whether pelvic floor training can improve maternal and neonatal birth outcomes.
