The goal of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the feasibility of postpartum pelvic floor muscle training using an FDA-cleared digital therapeutic motion-based device. In addition to assessing feasibility, investigators also will evaluate bladder and bowel function, pelvic organ prolapse symptoms, and vaginal and perineal pain in the immediate postpartum period and at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Investigators also will assess sexual function at 3 and 6 months postpartum. Participants will use the motion-based device for postpartum pelvic floor muscle training and will complete electronically administered surveys at 3 and 6 months postpartum.
