Midwife Pip® Podcast

Your body in pregnancy is undergoing huge physiological adaptions and performing incredible changes in its dedication to growing and nurturing your baby. Caring for your body and mind during your pregnancy journeyis imperative to your wellness and yoga can form a key part of this.

The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week during pregnancy. Alecs Donovan, former Welsh rugbyinternational player, hasfound the concept of Pregnancy Yogability. This incorporates some elements of traditional yoga with functional movement and the foundations of strength and flexibility in a safe environment for pregnancy.

 Whether you are new toexercise, experienced or looking for a new way to nurture your pregnant body and help combat common aches and pains Alecs’s classes are ideal. Carefully designed flows help to prepare your body for birth and support you in having a pregnancy journey of complete wellness. I am thrilled that Alecs has joined me on this episode to explain more and share her comprehensive knowledge @alecsdonovan_1.

#1. Lockdown Life and Motherhood

Living in a global pandemic and being a mother are hugely anxiety provoking and challenging times. Covid-19 has forced change into our lives in unprecedented ways and we have all been navigating our way through it. For those raising young children who cannot fully understand the path that the world is on and the restrictions of lockdown the challenges are amplified. 

This week’s episode I am joined by Fi Sharrad, a real mum sharing her raw, unedited experience of raising two toddlers in lockdown. The obstacles, the opportunities and mechanisms to cope and make the best of the situation we have been plunged into. Managing working from home, staying mentally and physically well and making lockdown memories. Who knows what the worlds “normal” will look like but motherhood cannot be paused and children will continue to make us giggle.Reflecting on the experience, recognising where our prioritise have been skewed and re-evaluating the pace that we have been whirling around in life.

It is imperative to me that the voice of mums is represented through this podcast, so I am delighted to introduce you to Fi @opheliaholly
