A series of exercises I’m using to prepare my body for birth. These exercises beautifully complement a lot of the work I do with my pelvic pain patients - a focus on spinal mobility, pelvic opening and movement.

If you have any pelvic floor tension, or if you are pregnant and don’t know where to start with stretches - these are for you🤍

✨ hip internal rotation child’s pose rocking
✨ hip external rotation child’s pose rocking
✨ 4 point hip internal rotation opening
✨ 4 point hip internal rotation strength
✨ 4 point side-side shifting
✨ spinal circles aka disco cat
✨ adductor rocking
✨ pigeon stretch
✨ hip 90/90- always a favourite
✨ seated figure 4 glute rocking
✨ mermaid (lateral flexion in Z sit)- try to keep your reaching arm straight to open your rib cage more
✨ hip flexor stretch (with lateral flexion + extension)
✨ wall internal rotation stretch (ft Lola and her favourite lamb toy)
✨ fitball pelvic circles
✨ (and I forgot to add!!😭😭) deep squat hold with side-side shifting
You can do all of these or just some of these movements, and honestly do them for however long it feels good (aim for at least 60sec each). Don’t force anything. Incorporate your diaphragmatic breathing into all movements.

In your second trimester you might aim for 2x10mins/ week of stretching. In your third trimester aim for 10-20 mins daily/ most days.

This is your reminder that rest is productive 🤍

I have always (and to an extent still do), felt a lot of guilt around resting. For not feeling like I’m doing enough. It’s taken pregnancy to really shift that perspective (or rather, my body forcing me to slow down and rest from unrelenting exhaustion 😂🙈)

But resting doesn’t mean you’re lazy. Rest is essential. It’s how our bodies recover, regulate, repair and allows us to keep showing up.

If you needed a sign to take your foot off the pedal a little today - this is it 🤍

Regular bowel movements and ideal stool consistency (a soft, formed ‘sausage’ that requires minimal wiping) are important not just for bowel health, but also for your pelvic health and bladder** function.

If you’re experiencing bowel concerns, it’s important to work alongside a dietitian to ensure your diet is balanced. That being said, there are times where supplements can be helpful-whether your stools are too loose and frequent, or too firm and infrequent.

This is a simple cheat sheet to help guide what your bowels might need.

When introducing fibre supplementation, start small and slow. For example, with psyllium husk, begin with ½–1 teaspoon daily and increase gradually by ½ teaspoon each week until you reach your ideal stool consistency.

Staying well hydrated is key-aim for at least 2L of fluid per day when using any bowel support.

First trimester was humbling asf😂 I always thought I’d be one of those women who could keep training exactly the same as pre pregnancy. Exercise has always been important for supporting my physical health, but even more so for my mental and emotional wellbeing.

The constant nausea and exhaustion meant I could barely exercise and when I did exercise it was significantly less than what I was used to, and that was a massive adjustment. I didn’t feel like myself and I felt guilty.

We live in a world that glorifies doing more and moving faster, where rest is rarely prioritised. The first trimester was rough but it forced me to listen to my body and give myself permission to slow down. A reminder that rest is still productive, especially when your body is doing something extraordinary❤️
