108: What You Actually Need to Know about Your Abs and Vag During Pregnancy and Postpartum

In this week’s episode, I share sentiments about what to expect when you are expecting/have a baby…except I do it with my own unique, straightforward spin as it relates to the changes your body experiences, and how fitness influences that.

From diastasis recti to incontinence, to pelvic organ prolapse, it’s important to understand predispositions, core + pelvic health education, and what you can do to manage the changes to your body during these seasons
