@ampollo: The training you didn’t see 👇⁣ ⁣ Educating myself on physiological birth, reviewing labor positions and pushing techniques with my pelvic PT, breathwork + pelvic mobility in the ANDA app, carefully selecting my care team and discussing how we’d handle different situations so I could stay calm in the moment.⁣ ⁣ While strength training and cardio have benefits for mom & baby during pregnancy -⁣ ⁣ Training for pregnancy vs training for delivery are two different things.⁣ ⁣ During pregnancy, you want strong muscles that can support the load of your growing belly and provide stability to your joints.⁣ ⁣ During delivery, you want RELAXED muscles which might not come naturally during the intensity of labor.⁣ ⁣ Does this mean you shouldn’t strength train during pregnancy?⁣ ⁣ No.⁣ ⁣ But it does mean that you should balance that strength training with breathwork, mobility, and an awareness of what it takes to keep labor progressing.⁣ ⁣ #pregnancy #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyfitness

Katarinaeiram :

Remember people, this is her 2nd child

nawwtme :

Just letting yall know it’s genetics as well so if your training and you don’t have a quick birth that’s normal too

Birch (Noel Gruber's Version) :

"hey im the midwife I'm here" "so is the baby"

Aysel Mehdiyeva :

I did this and ended up in emergency c section. 🙃

✨🤍MorningStar🤍✨ :

Exactly me! 😭 Hard labor was literally 2 hours and he was out in one push.

Noodler :

I had terrible pelvic pain while pregnant and had to give up all exercise, could barely walk. I had a super fast and speedy labour! You get what you get, exercise doesn’t determine your birth experience.

Elise :

results *will* vary 🙃

Blossom|Life as a FTM✨️ :

I think it's more about the type of training & exercises because I know ladies thst weight train before & during pregnancy & had 30 something hour labours & some even had to have c section. So I'm guessing it's really individual to afew factors. But so happy you had a heat birth experience, we hope that mkre women get to experience that 🥰

appleuser67775591 :

Mine was so quick my midwife did not make it.. either did paramedics/EMS. I delivered her myself. I also did not workout a day during my pregnancy. Ladies, don’t believe that you need to be in crazy shape to deliver quick.

Somtamanytime :

Worked out my entire pregnancy, ate the dates, drank the raspberry tea, did the miles circuit, and still had a 50h+ active labour 😅 Genetics and anatomy play a huge role in the length of labour too!

Vianny :

Gurllll

Kärt Kunnus :

I remember my oldest boy telling me that his brother will come “in 4 hours”. I just rolled my eyes because there were absolutely no signs yet. Turns out, he was right 😳

cait :

Michael Jackson👑🐚 :

Anybody else thought she was Sadie Sink…?

Michaela Rizer :

This happened to me!! She got pulled over lol

missredyourmind :

Was it legs only? Please drop workout

Steph :

Women are super heros indeed

Sarah :

When I had my first baby I was 22, didn’t work out at all, had a first degree tear, almost had a C-section, and gained 50+lbs. w my second I worked out the whole pregnancy, pushed for less than 2 hours, NO tear, only gained 40lbs, recovered so fast, and my mental health is sm better. Working out makes a difference!!!

Lauren :

And the recovery was probably phenomenal too. I had fantastic labor/birth experiences (first l pushed for 15 minutes and second I was 7cm dilated and didn’t know then pushed for 2 minutes) but my recovery was awful because I didn’t stay in shape during pregnancy and I’m paying for it now because I can’t get back in shape

Yasemeençee :

Couldn’t move a finger for the first trimester hopefully second will be good enough for me to be able to workout again

ZaraCleoLarxene :

I need this for me🖤

Sara Squamish :

My midwife didn’t make it on time. It was quite the situation 😂 (worked out fine for all though)
