And how does that health, our pelvic floor health in pregnancy influence like basically birth outcomes or pregnancy outcomes? Is there been a correlation to obviously doing some of this work in pregnancy itself to minimize perhaps some of the, you know, some of the dysfunction that may occur after or during birth and after birth?

Absolutely.

So if we, a lot of people have very locked rib cages.
17:48
So if your rib cage is quite locked, if you tend to just belly breathe or you tend to upper chest breathe, then what happens during pregnancy is that your body has to make room for the baby.
17:58
So what it does is you start to flare your rib cage forwards.
18:02
And you can try it snaily, and whoever's listening can try it.
18:05
If you fly your ribcage forward, you start to feel you get that kind of concave feeling in your back, that pain.
