4 common mistakes when exercising during pregnancy and after birth
As a women’s health physio, I’m a big advocate for staying active during pregnancy and postnatally — but knowing how to exercise safely and effectively isn’t always straightforward.
In this episode re-run of the Pregnancy, Birth & Recovery Podcast, I’m unpacking 4 common mistakes I see women make when it comes to exercising during pregnancy and after birth. Whether it’s doing too much too soon, avoiding movement altogether, or not having the right support in place — these missteps can impact your pelvic floor, core, and overall recovery.
We’ll cover:
✔️ The risks of returning to running too early
✔️ What to know about your pelvic floor before jumping into workouts
✔️ How to exercise safely even when tired, time-poor, or overwhelmed
✔️ Why getting the right guidance matters — and where to find it
Becoming a mama is incredible, but it’s also a huge shift physically and mentally. This episode is here to help you feel informed, supported, and confident — no matter where you’re at in your motherhood journey.
