If you are anything like the athletes I help you are an active woman used to-
✔️lifting heavy,
✔️running fast,

  • Avoid lifting over 40 pounds, even though you are already used to lifting more than 100s in any given week
  • “No ab work or twisting”
  • Just “wait til giving birth wrecks your body” and you are eager to know how to help yourself avoid major birth injury
If you are feeling confused about all the “do’s” and “don’ts” of pregnancy, you aren’t alone!
