06-Guidelines for Safe Exercise During Pregnancy & Postpartum- Listening to The Body’s Boundaries to Avoid Pelvic Dysfunction or Injury

Hey Momma! 

Is your fear stopping you from working out or exercising while you're pregnant or postpartum? Are you wanting to maintain strength or stay healthy, but afraid that you may cause an injury or aggravate symptoms or worse harm your baby? You are not alone! So many mommas tell me that they want to be active and stay strong and healthy throughout pregnancy and postpartum, but because of social media and all the conflicting information out there, they feel stuck and don’t know what level of exercise or activity is safe or good for them. This keeps many women stuck and avoiding many types of exercise, when in fact they need to gain strength to help them manage and resolve their aches and pains and provide stability in their core.  A strong core is crucial during these phases of life, because it is at such a disadvantage as the abdominals are being stretched, but core strengthening can and should be done in a safe and controlled way.  Inside today’s episode I discuss how you can learn and listen to your body’s boundaries so you can be aware what movement’s are safe and “good” for your body’s ability and what movements or exercises may be too intense and putting you at risk for causing other issues like diastasis recti (DRA), urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (POP), hernias, hemorrhoids and prolapsed discs. Movement is medicine and it’s important to stay active throughout all phases of our lives, especially during pregnancy and postpartum.  So listen to today’s episode so you can feel confident as you navigate activity and don’t let fear keep you from staying strong and active!
