Summary

This study tests a device called Emagina that uses a small balloon to train the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy. The goal is to see if it makes the perineum more flexible and reduces tears or the need for stitches during childbirth. About 88 first-time mothers will either use the device or receive standard care, and their outcomes will be compared.
