          • About Pelvic Floor Care, Part 2

            Join us as we wrap up our talk with Esther Spence, PT about the importance of pelvic floor care and how to do it. We can prevent a lot of the things that “come with the territory” of becoming a mom. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s normal.


            Key Takeaways:

            • You can fix the mom belly, the pee sneezes, and other things with pelvic floor care

            • It’s important to ask to be referred to a pelvic floor PT if you think you need that care

            • It has been disproven that we should not add activity to our routine during pregnancy

                  Key Takeaways:

                  • We need to start looking at the body as a unit instead of separate parts

                  • As your core muscles stretch during pregnancy, they become less productive

                  • The brain with only recruit the strong muscles

                    • How Hard It Is to Be Consistent

                      Join Jess and Trafenia as they chat about consistency. As mothers it is easy to be hard on ourselves for lack of consistency but the reality is life ebbs and flows.


                      Key Takeaways:

                      • We are raising kids not a house.

                      • Women reset every 28 days and men reset every 24 hours

                      • Give yourself grace

                        • About Baby Sleep, Part 1

                          No one talks about the complications of sleep, and who would have thought that sleep is complicated! When you have a baby there are so many things to consider, including how to sleep. There seems to be so many different options such as co-sleeping, sleeping in a bassinet, or sleeping in a crib. Join Jess and Trafenia as they talk about what they did for their babies's sleep.


                          Key Takeaways:

                          • Your opinion is the only one that matters.

                          • You know your baby, and mama knows best.

                          • Whatever you choose or don’t choose for sleep, just go for it.

                            Key Takeaways:

                            • Everyone has a different pregnancy experience; No two pregnancies are the same
                            • You can experience side effects to varying degrees.
                            • The first trimester is generally when you feel the most of the effects
