N.B Marie is no longer a nurse. She has not been a member of the Ordre des Infirmières et Infirmiers du Québec since 2016. She has also been retired from the health network since 2016. Please note that some videos were shot while she was a member of the Order, which explains the title of perinatal nurse indicated at the time, which is no longer effective today.

The pelvic floor is usually forgotten during the preparation for childbirth. See why it’s important and how you can tone it during pregnancy and after childbirth. Marie-Ève Prince, a physiotherapist, discusses the topic and suggests practical exercises.
