Season 2, Episode 2, Aug 27, 2022, 04:00 AM
Find out everything you need to know about exercising in the first trimester with pre & postnatal fitness specialist Hollie Grant. In this episode Hollie will run through the guidelines, considerations, and advice needed whether you were active pre-pregnancy or not, with key takeaways if you are planning on having an active and empowered pregnancy, labor and motherhood.
In todays episode, Bump Plan Founder Hollie Grant looks into everything you need to know about exercising in the first trimester. Especially if you are pregnant for the first time, the first trimester of pregnancy can be a time of great change in the body which can leave many women feeling confused as to how they can continue to move their body safely during this time.
However, exercising throughout the first trimester (and, indeed throughout your pregnancy) can have profound and far reaching physical and mental health benefits, whilst also helping your body prepare for the demands of labour and parenting.
Therefore, in this episode Hollie will be talking you through:
► The vast physical and mental health benefits to staying active during pregnancy
► The current guidelines for physical activity from the UK Chief Medical Officer, and what that means for you
► Defining 'Physical Activity During Pregnancy'
► How to approach physical activity in pregnancy if you weren't active prior to pregnancy
► What to prioritise exercise wise in the first trimester, and
► How that can be affected by some of the most common pregnancy symptoms
