Welcome to Session 2

Welcome back! We hope you have enjoyed the first session of the course and learned something new. This session we are focusing on urinary incontinence, which means leaking any amount of urine when you don't mean to.

It is one of the most common health problems that can affect women, even before their first pregnancy. You may have personally experienced incontinence at some stage or your life, or it may be an issue that your friends or family have faced.

Even if you haven't experienced incontinence yourself, this session gives you the tools to be able to support other mothers, and shows you how to do pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME), a healthy habit for all women.

• We will coach you through PFME with a guided animation, and share a downloadable tracker for you to keep tabs on your PFME activity.
• We will share an infographic to help you build healthy habits, such as doing pelvic floor muscle exercises. It can be used for any habit you are looking to build, such as doing more exercise, eating healthily, or keeping socially active.

In the next step, we are going to share perceptions of incontinence from postpartum women to get you thinking about this issue.
