De-bunking the Top 5 Pregnancy Fitness Myths
Pregnancy is a time when countless pieces of information are being thrown at you. It’s also a time when the quality of this information REALLY matters. Not only for the safety of you, but for your baby on board.
When it comes to exercising in pregnancy we’re often taught to keep it light/easy, not work very hard, and that you can keep doing the things you were pre-pregnancy.
There are definitely some caveats to this and I’m here to share with you real, science-based information so you can make a judgement call for yourself. Of course, consult your doctor if you’re unsure how this applies to your pregnancy specifically.
I know firsthand that confusion and worry can often stop us dead in our tracks and hold us back from really preparing our body for the demands of pregnancy and childbirth. We’ll break it all down and clear the air in this episode.
