What is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

I first had a mocktail while pregnant with my now 2-year-old son. I figured, if I couldn’t have a drink while out with friends, I’d give this alcohol-free look-a-like a shot. As my belly grew, I started to get looks from people who couldn’t tell my drink did not contain alcohol.
