59. Navigating Pregnancy Weight Gain: Mindset, Movement & Nourishment
In this honest and compassionate episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, we’re tackling a topic that many pregnant moms struggle with—weight gain during pregnancy.
Hosts Megan Martineau, a certified pregnancy personal trainer, and Caitlin Cipriano, a perinatal nutritionist, dive into the emotional and physical challenges that come with watching your body change rapidly during pregnancy. From navigating the mental hurdles of gaining weight to shifting from aesthetic-based goals to functional prenatal fitness, we share personal stories and expert guidance to help you feel grounded in your body during this transformative time.
What we cover:
- The mindset shifts needed when your body no longer feels like it’s “yours”
- How to reframe your exercise goals to focus on mobility, strength, and birth prep
- The role of nourishment, not restriction, in supporting a healthy pregnancy
- Common hurdles like nausea, food aversions, and gestational diabetes
- Why traditional “diet” culture fails pregnant moms — and what to do instead
Whether you're a first-time mom or pregnant again and feeling all the feels, this conversation will help you reconnect with your body, embrace the changes, and feel confident that you're doing enough.
🎧 Tune in and join us each week for expert advice, free resources for new moms, and real talk around pregnancy fitness programs, nutrition for moms, and what it means to feel Vibrantly You®.
