Primary purpose: TREATMENT

Brief summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if perineal massage combined with hip joint training works to improve pelvic function (urinary incontinence, constipation and hip motion) in pregnant women. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training lower the prevalence of participants who have urinary incontinence and constipation? Does the perineal massage combined with hip joint training improve the flexibility of the hip joint? Researchers will compare an intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) to a comparison(regular training and treatment) to see if the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training) works to improve pelvic function.

Participants will:

receive the intervention (perineal massage combined with hip joint training ) or regular training and treatment fifth a week at 36 weeks gestation before participants receive first-time intervention, they complete Demographic sociological , ICI-Q-LF, Wexner constipation and hip motion questionnaires

Detailed description: Women experience varying degrees of damage to the female reproductive and urinary muscle groups during pregnancy and delivery, which can lead to a series of pelvic floor disorders, for example, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), urinary incontinence(UI), chronic constipation (CC) and other syndrome, reducing the quality of life.

This study examined the effect of perineal massage combined with hip joint training on pelvic floor function, especially on UI, CC and hip motion. This is a parallel randomised control trial. The researchers will recruit participants from the obstetrics outpatient ward. Pregnant women attending the maternity clinic who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be randomly selected and sign informed consent, then the enrolled population was randomly assigned to each group using sealed envelopes.

The intervention group will receive perineal massage combined with hip joint training; the comparison group will receive regular training.

The primary outcome is the ICI-Q-LF score; Wexner constipation score; and the secondary outcome is hip motion.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* singleton pregnant women
* primipara;
* signed informed consent voluntarily
* 36 weeks gestation;
* no pregnancy complication

Exclusion Criteria:

* pluripara;
* multiple pregnancies;
* pregnant women with mental or cognitive disabilities;
* scarred uterus;
* pelvic surgery history;
* urinary incontinence before pregnancy history;
* obstipation before pregnancy history

Primary outcomes:
measure: pelvic floor function(constipation)
timeFrame: the outcomes will be assessed at 1.before the first time intervention at 36 gestational age. 2.receive intervention 10 times during two weeks(5 times/week). the results will reported through study completion, an average 3 months.
