Birth Preparation

Birth Preparation
with EPI-NO

Approximately 3 weeks before delivery you should begin your EPI·NO
exercises to increase the elasticity of your pelvic floor muscles.
About 15 minutes per day.

As in sport, the muscles will be strengthened and stretched.

Strengthening
the Pelvic Floor Muscles

Insert the EPI·NO balloon
2/3rds into the vagina.
Gently contract and relax
your muscles against
the balloon, which
provides resistance.

Stretch
the Perineum

Slowly inflate the EPI·NO
balloon to the point of
stretching and comfort.
Each day you will inflate
and stretch more. There
is no risk to your baby.

Simulate
the Birth

After the stretching phase
relax your pelvic floor
muscles and allow
the inflated EPI·NO
balloon to gently expel
itself from the vagina.
This will familiarise you
with the sensation of
delivering the
baby’s head.
