EP 113 - IS IT PREGNANCY SAFE?: PRENATAL FITNESS & TRAINING FOR LABOR

An episode so nice, we did it twice! No, really. Tech issues have tried us this fall! But we’re back with an absolute banger.

This is one meaty ep we couldn’t miss!

Yeah, we’ve had a lot of preg content ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s the season Diane is in. And it’s one that SO many of our clients are preparing for, or leaving soon!

And, per yooj, there’s all kinds of bad outdated advice out there when it comes to prenatal fitness and training for the sport of motherhood.

So this week Adina is sharing [basically] a masterclass on movement during pregnancy:

From ways to keep momentum up in first trimester without feeling nosh or totally exhausted

To managing pain and feeling strong through second trimester…

And moving through third trimester while also setting yourself up for a smoother labor and postpartum season!

We also get into some great listener questions, with a lil surprise announcement at the end of the episode! 😘

May we also recommend watching on YouTube so you can see Adina’s super great demos with her pelvis.

Well, not HER pelvis, but a pelvis model.

Good stuff, girlies! Queue it up!

In this episode of Get Your Shit Together…

🧡 Common OBGYN advice, and prenatal fitness misconceptions

🧡 Problems with prenatal yoga and hypermobility during pregnancy

🧡 How to move, recover, and fuel yourself through each trimester

🧡 Breath and pelvic floor strategies to help avoid or manage pain

🧡 Listener questions: how to get started, GD, what to do if you’re exhausted
