[PART 1 of 2 - Next: Benefits for Baby]

Research shows that exercise in pregnancy has loads of benefits for mom. In addition to the ones listed, moms also experience:
-Higher energy levels
-Decrease in weight gain and fat deposition
-Positive attitudes about themselves, their body, the future

When you add in doing it with other moms in a community (whether online or in-person), you just add even more benefits.

If you're looking for an exercise plan, ongoing support, a place to start, and/or a space with other moms who can relate - connect w/ me and I'd love to see how I can help!

Sometimes, our mind can overcomplicate movement. We think that because we can't do a full workout or go to the gym or make a perfectly planned routine, that nothing intentional through the day will really make a difference.

Well, that's not entirely true. Sometimes we are in a season of life where we just need to create moments of movement.

It can be:
•5 minutes of stretching while your coffee brews.
•A quick dance break in the kitchen with your kids.
•A walk during a phone call or while waiting at practice.
•A few squats or lunges while dinner’s in the oven.
•A few standing stretches or calf raises while brushing your teeth.

The little things really do benefit your body.

So create ways to move that fit your life — and maybe even feel fun. 💛

One of the most common things I hear from moms is:
“No one told me this during my pregnancy. I wish someone had told me.”

Whether it’s how your breathing influences baby’s airway, how your posture affects labor, how the right kind of strength work can ease back pain and support recovery... or even that what you eat today helps shape baby’s palate, metabolism, and nervous system.

But it’s not about doing everything “right.”
It’s about knowing what matters—and being supported as you learn it.

You deserve to go into this season feeling equipped, not just expected to figure it out on your own!

Birth is physical, emotional, and deeply personal. A solid birth education class should leave you feeling:

✔️ Clear on your options
✔️ Confident in your body
✔️ Connected to your instincts
✔️ Prepared to advocate if needed

You deserve more than just a hospital tour and a handout. You deserve real tools and real support.

Yes, you SHOULD make a plan (I call it a map), but you also need to be empowered in your options and choices.

What you eat during pregnancy isn’t about a perfect diet—it’s about supporting critical systems that are forming right now.
Here’s what matters most:

🥦 Nutrients like folate, choline, and magnesium support neural and structural development
🍳 Protein helps build baby’s tissues, organs, and cells
🥬 Real food fiber supports your digestion and blood sugar, which affects baby’s long-term metabolic health
🧠 Omega-3 fats are crucial for brain + eye development

It’s not about rules. It’s about intention. Small, consistent choices make a huge difference—for both of you.

*If you're not able to eat a wide variety of whole foods, considering supplementation with a high quality, methylated prenatal is a great option! If you'd like the list of my faves - comment PRENATAL and I will send you 'em (along with a discount)! 💕

Pregnancy is physical—your body is working overtime to grow, shift, and carry new life. But you don’t have to just “deal with it.”

Intentional strength and mobility work can:
✔️ Ease common aches like back and pelvic pain
✔️ Support better posture, circulation, and core connection
✔️ Help baby settle into an optimal position
✔️ Prepare your body for the demands of labor and smoother recovery

As a pregnancy & postpartum exercise specialist, (in addition to my birth education work), I LOVE to support mamas in their wellbeing. 🥹 If exercise is something you're wanting to implement, book a session with me and let's get you moving! 😎 Just send me a DM.

👀 Want a pregnancy class that combines movement with nourishment, pelvic floor education, and more!? Join me at the Whole Mama Workshop. 💕

🗓️ July 19 in Tyler, TX.
🎟️ Registration closes July 12 — don’t wait!
