Pregnancy is one of the most powerful things your body will ever do—but it doesn’t mean you have to give up feeling strong, mobile, and confident.
At Active Mum, we believe that pregnancy is like training for a marathon. And just like you wouldn’t prepare for a marathon by playing volleyball, you shouldn’t go into pregnancy doing just any workout. You need a program that’s designed for this unique phase of life—and that’s where we come in.
🎥 Watch: Why Pregnancy-Specific Exercise Makes All the Difference

Pregnancy transforms your body physically, hormonally, emotionally—and permanently. The right kind of exercise can help you:
✅Prevent or reduce back pain, pelvic pain, sciatica and incontinence
✅Maintain a healthy weight and avoid excessive weight gain
✅Support strong posture and movement as your belly and baby grow
✅Prepare your body for labour and delivery
✅Recover more quickly post-birth
✅Stay mobile and agile—right up to your due date
But all of that depends on doing the right kind of training.

This is not the time for guesswork or “just modifying what you usually do.” Your body is creating an entire human being—bones, brain, lungs, nervous system. That deserves training that’s tailored, gentle, and powerful all at once.
When women take on generic or unsuitable programs during pregnancy, we often see:
❌Excessive weight gain (20–30kg+), making postnatal recovery harder
❌Severe abdominal separation (diastasis recti) that doesn't heal properly
❌Sharp pelvic or p***c pain from unstable joints and poor alignment
❌Pelvic floor weakness and sometimes even prolapse
❌Feeling stuck on the couch by the end of pregnancy, rather than active and mobile
The truth is, pregnancy can be comfortable, strong and even energising—but only when the body is trained specifical
