If you had a vaginal delivery, did you have stitches to repair an episiotomy or tear?
Do you have any particular concerns or worries about your pelvic floor health?
E.g. are you experiencing urine leakage? Have you noticed anything unusual or had a lack of sensation?
Do you have any particular concerns or worries about exercise in the postnatal period?

If you ticked YES to one or more of the *health conditions*, you may need to talk to your GP for advice before you start becoming more physically active. Tell your GP about the questionnaire and which question(s) you highlighted/ticked. You may be able to do any activity you want - as long as you begin slowly and build up gradually, or you may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you.
If your health changes at all and you develop any health conditions, then please inform Adela and a health professional immediately.
I can confirm that I have read, understood and completed this questionnaire to the best of my knowledge, consulted with my GP if necessary and that it is my responsibility to ensure the safety of myself and my baby/babies when participating in any of MummaFit classes.
