This study was carried out to examine the knowledge of the effect of regular pelvic floor exercises on maternal health among women of reproductive age in Nigeria using Benue State as a case study. Specifically, the study investigate the level of women’s knowledge on the effect of pelvic floor exercises on maternal health of women of reproductive age in Benue State, analyse women’s views and perception of the effects of pelvic floor exercises on their maternal health in Benue State, assess the positive and negative effects of pelvic floor exercises on women’s maternal health in Benue State, and assess the practice level of exercises by women of reproductive age in Benue State in a bid to increase maternal health. The study employed the survey descriptive research design. A total of 194 responses were validated from the survey. From the responses obtained and analysed, the findings revealed that majority of pregnant women had positive attitude to pelvic floor exercise. Also, the findings revealed that no significant difference existed in the attitude based on age while significant differences existed in attitudes based on level of education, parity and occupation. The study therefore, recommend there should be regular health education classes during antenatal sessions on the importance, benefits and contraindication to pelvic floor exercise for pregnant women by health educators and other health care workers in the antenatal clinics. More so, exercise classes for instance pelvic floor exercise, breathing exercise, aerobics and indoor stationary cycling should be conducted for all childbearing women irrespective of parity, occupation or level of education. This is to improve their knowledge and influence their attitude towards pelvic floor exercise.
