Brief summary

Our purpose is to evaluate the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy and after childbirth, comparing the results of these evaluations, and the training of these muscles has some efficacy in the incidence of urinary incontinence in labor and delivery in perineal lacerations in type of delivery, if you change the blood glucose levels after exercise, if there is any difference in muscle fibers in women who performed compared with those who do not exercise, assess the level of sexual function and quality of life of the volunteers

Interventions

The Participants of the training group will participate in individual weekly 20 minutes sessions of pelvic flor muscle training (PFMT) supervise by two physiotherapists with the same background during 12 or 17 weeks. The number of sessions during pregnany will be determined according to the gestational age at which it is in the first evaluation
