A new study in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology found that 40% of first time mothers experience incontinence during pregnancy, and those suffering from it during pregnancy were three times more likely to have it afterward.
With all the changes pregnancy and childbirth bring, this is one thing that women will not look forward to.

Core Wellness, an international pelvic health initiative by TENA, is working to help women suffering from this potentially embarrassing but common condition.
You can go to their website to learn pelvic floor exercises that can be done anywhere – in the office, while playing with their newborn or while watching TV.
