Supporting your body through pregnancy and after birth
We’ve created a series of short videos to help you understand the changes your body goes through during pregnancy, birth, and recovery.
You’ll find practical advice from NHS physiotherapists and healthcare professionals on topics like:
- pelvic floor health
- bladder care
- posture and movement
- returning to exercise safely
These videos were developed in partnership with local NHS trusts, maternity teams, and parents through our Maternity Voices Partnership—so they reflect real experiences and trusted guidance.
Whether you're preparing for birth or focusing on recovery, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
The videos are available in English and other languages to help meet different needs across our communities.
