You’re an active woman who loves lifting, running, and challenging your body—but now that you’re pregnant, you’re being told to slow down, avoid ab work, and expect your body to “break” after birth.
No wonder it feels confusing!
The truth is, pregnancy isn’t about losing strength—it’s about learning how to channel it into birth and motherhood.
You can keep lifting safely, train your core (yes, even your abs), and prepare your body to recover faster.
