• Abstract: Introduction: Urinary incontinence (UI) is considered one of the most common pelvic floor muscle (PFM) dysfunctions in post-gestational women. Thus, rehabilitation through pelvic floor exercises helps to reduce symptoms and helps to prevent post-pregnancy cases. Objective: To describe the benefits of Pelvic Floor Muscle Training (PFMT) in Urinary Incontinence and Stress Urinary Incontinence during prenatal and postpartum periods. Methodology: This is an integrative and descriptive review of the literature, in which the following indexed platforms PubMed, PEDRo and Cochrane Library, gathered through five descriptors stored on the DECS platform in English: Urinary incontinence; Rehabilitation; Exercise; Stress urinary incontinence; Postpartum period in association with the Boolean operation “E”. The PRISMA checklist model was applied to analyze the results and discuss the data.  Results: We found that PFMT has a high degree of prevention for urinary and stress incontinence during prenatal care, extending up to 6 months after delivery. With regard to the protocols, the duration of 30 minutes to 60 minutes, with 2 to 3 repetitions per week, with application between 4 and 12 months significantly reduces the effects of SUI, referring to urinary leaks during coughing, sneezing, sexual or physical activity, raising patients' psychological confidence. Conclusion: The application of TMAP in the prenatal and post-pregnancy period has been shown to prevent urinary incontinence and reduce symptoms, increasing patients' quality of life.
