5 Things Your Doctor Won’t Tell You About Exercising in Pregnancy

Our doctors are often the trusted resource in pregnancy regarding ours and our baby's health, but can we also rely on them for fitness advice?

I highly respect medical professionals and, in my experience as a patient and as someone specializing in pre/postnatal fitness, I've seen a lot of vague recommendations given to pregnant people as well as outdated information.

While this may not be true of all providers it certainly does happen for the simple fact that prenatal fitness isn't something they're required to be informed about or stay up to date on. 

In this episode, we dive into 5 things you may not be told by your doctor as it relates to your pregnancy fitness routine. Get ready for some eye-opening facts and myth de-bunking!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

  • Outdated advice to watch out for

  • Is it SAFE to start an exercise routine in pregnancy?

  • How much can/should we safely “push” ourselves in our workouts?

  • Things we should definitely include in our fitness routine for a healthier pregnancy
