The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health

Staying Active in Pregnancy and Postpartum | Embracing Self-Compassion with Christina Prevett


Listen Later

Ever felt the weight of societal expectations to maintain a "fit pregnancy" or achieve a rapid postpartum "bounce back"? You're not alone. Join me, Christina Prevett, as we unravel these pressures and explore the real-life challenges of staying active during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Lean into stories, like that of Shannon Clark, an international strongwoman who defied severe nausea to sustain her workouts. Together, we'll discuss the power of self-compassion and the importance of listening to your body, reassuring you that it's perfectly okay to pause and prioritize self-care when needed.

Discover practical strategies for maintaining fitness amidst the whirlwind of motherhood. We'll talk about the magic of "movement snacks"—short, efficient workouts that fit into even the busiest of schedules—and how ingrained exercise habits can serve as anchors during life's chaotic transitions. Whether you're navigating the fatigue of pregnancy or the demands of a newborn, this episode is packed with insights and encouragement to help you find balance and resilience in your unique journey. Tune in, share your own strategies, and become part of a supportive community embracing motherhood with grace and patience.
