How does pregnancy affect the pelvic floor?

Pregnancy is extremely strenuous on the pelvic floor. It is the main reason why many women begin experiencing mild incontinence as well as decreased quality of sexual experience, during pregnancy to later in life. Without deliberate pelvic training, the pelvic floor muscles are unable to return to the same strength as before pregnancy.
