WEEK 34 // Symmetrical Strength in Pregnancy 🤰🏼✨

At 34 weeks, balance and alignment matter more than ever.

As your center of gravity shifts, symmetrical strengthening helps reduce tension, improve stability, and keep your pelvis working with you — not against you.

Here’s this week’s circuit 👇🏼
1️⃣ Abduction Banded Squats → Builds strength through hips and glutes while promoting pelvic stability.
2️⃣ Core Knee Hovers → Activates your deep core and shoulders for total-body balance.
3️⃣ Banded Shoulder Abduction → Opens and strengthens postural muscles that support your upper body and breath.
4️⃣ Squats with Ball Squeeze → Trains coordination between the inner thighs and pelvic floor for better control and mobility.

💡 In the latter part of this circuit, we dive into hip internal rotation — a movement pattern VITAL for labor prep.

Why? Because internal rotation allows your pelvis to open so baby can descend through the birth canal with more ease.

As a holistic orthopedic and pelvic floor Doctor of Physical Therapy, I designed this workout to help you stay strong, balanced, and birth-ready — not just for labor, but for the recovery and motherhood that follows.

✨ Ready for the full routine (plus SO much more)?!

➡️ Comment “HWPREG” to join Holistically Well Pregnancy — the only self-paced prenatal program with lifetime access, created by an orthopedic and pelvic floor DPT to support your body holistically through every trimester. 🤎

That bright orange drink most women dread? 🍊
It’s not your only option — and you deserve to know that.

Gestational diabetes screening is so important for both mom and baby…
but it doesn’t have to mean chugging synthetic dyes and preservatives.

There are evidence-based, holistic alternatives that keep your care personalized and aligned with your values — like dye-free options, The Fresh Test, or even at-home glucose monitoring with your provider’s guidance.

Because informed testing isn’t just about results — it’s about ownership in your pregnancy care.

💛 You can advocate.
💛 You can personalize.
💛 You can make empowered decisions for both you + baby.

👉 Save this post for your 24–28 week visit, and share it with a friend who’s approaching her glucose test soon!
