How birth position affects pelvic floor health
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This trial compares different delivery positions to see how they impact pelvic floor function after childbirth. It might help you understand which position could be best for your recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 35 years old.
- This is your first full-term baby, with one baby in a head-down position.

This study compares how the pelvic floor (muscles that support bladder and bowel) moves in women with and without stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising). Researchers are building a tool to better assess pelvic floor health in Chinese women.
This trial tests whether breathing exercises can help new mothers regain bladder control after having a baby. It is for women who are 6 weeks to 6 months postpartum and have been diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence (leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, or exercising).
This study looks at how changes in the pelvis after delivery might be linked to urine leaking after childbirth. It compares women who had a vaginal birth, a vacuum-assisted birth, or a C-section to understand the connection.
This study follows women during pregnancy and after childbirth to measure how the pelvic floor muscles change. The goal is to understand normal changes so doctors can better prevent or treat problems like incontinence or prolapse later.
This study looks at how a mother's muscles in the hips, lower back, belly, and pelvic floor relate to the type of delivery (vaginal or C-section) and any pelvic floor problems after childbirth. It may help women understand their risk of issues like incontinence after giving birth.
This study looks at how well the pelvic floor (the muscles supporting your bladder, uterus, and bowel) recovers after a vaginal birth. It tests whether starting gentle exercises soon after delivery helps improve recovery.
