Summary

This study looked at whether a structured pelvic floor muscle training program during pregnancy could reduce severe tears during vaginal birth. 300 first-time mothers with low-risk pregnancies were invited to join either a supervised exercise group or receive standard care. The researchers compared rates of serious perineal injuries, episiotomies, and other birth outcomes between the two groups.
