“…This ranks the severity of symptoms in four categories:. Mild (1-5 points), moderate (6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12), severe (13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18), and severe (19)(20)(21). (11) In this study the overall average ICIQ-SF score was 9.9 points.…”

“…(13,14) However, it is stated that the greatest impact would be of gestation and type of delivery, which would jeopardize the PF by different mechanisms. (15,16) Some studies show that the UI is common during pregnancy. Sharma et al (17) evaluated 240 primiparae through the same questionnaire used in this study found the presence of urinary symptoms in about 48% of the women studied in the third quarter.…”

“…Initial questionnaires (S1) were completed at a mean of 8 weeks gestation (range, [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14], third trimester surveys (S2) at 30 weeks gestation (range, [24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], and the final series (S3) at a mean of 30 (range, 24-37) weeks postpartum. Seventy-nine subjects ultimately had a live birth at our institutions, of these three were pregnant again at the time of the final series.…”

et al. 2008

Impact of pregnancy on pelvic symptom-related quality of life and body image has not been previously documented. We hypothesize that pregnancy will have a negative impact on pelvic symptoms and body image. Pregnant subjects completed questionnaires in the first (S1) and third trimester (S2) and 6 months postpartum (S3) including: Body Exposure During Sexual Activities Questionnaire, Urogenital Distress Inventory, Incontinence Impact Questionnaire, and Fecal Incontinence Quality of Life Scale. Urinary symptoms worsened through pregnancy with improvement postpartum. However, quality of life impact of fecal incontinence was stable. Although some associations between low body image and maternal weight, urinary distress, and bowel complaints were suggested, no significant relationships were noted. Poorest body image was noted in the postpartum period. Urinary symptoms worsen during pregnancy with recovery postpartum, while body image suffers most following pregnancy.

“…Van Brummen et al [3] have studied 515 null gravid women and found SUI in 18.6 and 42.1% of women in the 12th and 36th weeks of pregnancy, respectively. Studies on primiparas have reported postpartum SUI prevalence rates of 0.7–35% [4,5].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the role of pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFME) in the prevention of stress urinary incontinence (SUI) during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Methods: A total of 102 women was included in the study. Data, collected through forms, included characteristics of the women, follow-up data during the pregnancy and postpartum period and a three-day urinary diary. Both groups were evaluated in terms of SUI at the 14th–20th, 28th and 32nd weeks of gestation and at 12 weeks postpartum. Results: As shown by the pad test, SUI developed in 5.8, 17.3 and 1.9% of the subjects in the intervention group at the 28th and 32nd gestational week and the 12th postpartum week, respectively. The relevant ratios in the control group were 30, 48 and 18%, respectively. A statistically significant difference was found between the intervention and control groups in terms of SUI development at the 28th and 32nd weeks of gestation and the 12th postpartum week (p < 0.05). Conclusion: PFME are effective for prevention of SUI development during pregnancy and in the postpartum period. Health care providers are therefore recommended to provide education and counseling to pregnant women about SUI prevention.
