Show Notes 

0:55 - Jessie’s 2026 Coach Collective waitlist is open NOW!

2:52 - Anita introduces what we are chatting about today

3:18 - Question #1: I’ve always lifted heavy. How do I know when I need to modify or dial it back in pregnancy?

7:26 - Question #2: I keep hearing I need to add pelvic floor work into my workouts, but what does that mean?

10:50 - Question #3: What’s the best way to train my core in pregnancy without making diastasis worse, especially if I want to stay strong for postpartum?

13:17 - Question #4: I’ve heard on social media don’t stretch too much in pregnancy. Is that true if I like yoga?

15:30 - Question #5: If I only have time for a short workout, should I focus on mobility, strength, or pelvic floor?

17:16 - Question #6: I have a birth ball at home, but honestly I just sit on it. Are there actual stretches or movements I should be doing with it in pregnancy?

19:15 - Anita brings the episode to a close
