Does your babies kicks match the month gestation of this picture?

I had a quick glance at this diagram which I've never seen before (could be garbage) but thought it was fun.

It seemed to be accurate for me for the week gestation with kicks just at belly button. But who knows cause I know gas can be a very similar feeling lets be honest 🤣

All pregnancies are different but if you're pregnant and getting kicks at the front, does this match up to you? I'd love to know

This is a must know! Pregnancy fitness is base by base and stretching in pregnancy & postpartum should be approached the same way.

Some people have more natural than others and are born with more ligament laxity. Put pregnancy and postpartum on top, which comes with its own set of hyper-mobility and then you got someone who is double hyper-mobile. This can be really hard, especially looking at joint vulnerability like SI joint pain or P***c Symphysis. So if someone is hyper-mobile, they most likely need double strength.

𝘼𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙝𝙮𝙥𝙚𝙧-𝙢𝙤𝙗𝙞𝙡𝙚? 🕺
A sign of hyper mobility is remembering always been able to touch your toes or reach your arm way back behind your body. You have muscle and bone pain You might roll on your ankle or bruise easily.

Look at approaching your training programme by applying:
𝐌𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - (𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧) 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 - (𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧) 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡 🏋

Time for self reflection on where your at mama! Tell me what way you approach training?

💥My go to pre-workout body prep!
Self Myofascia Release!
Learn foam rolling or self massage technique to prep you for workouts.

I would advise not to roll the lumbar spine as its not protected by stabilizing bones like ribs or hips.

1. What is Myofascia
Myofascia is a thin layer of connective tissue which wraps around muscles to keep them stretchy. It is like a body suit over the muscles, supporting them yet separating them from each other at the same time.

2. Why we need it
Muscles have a predertimed mobility. When we workout, we find there are sticky and flexible points of the muscle. Without intervention, the flexible areas continue to work to their limit but the sticky parts stay ‘stuck’ or damaged. This can be caused through stress or injury in that area

3.We apply the SMR method from head-to-toe to help release any pain or tension around muscle groups. This improves blood flow, circulation and helps restore the muscles flexibility to its predetermined length and elasticity.

In some cases, the area where a person experiences pain might not be where the myofascial pain generator is located.

4.How to carry out SMR
How: Self hand massage, foam rolling and trigger point ball techniques.
Roll 15-20 over the desired areas, hold 20-30 and wave 5-10 (personal preference)
When: At least 3-4 times per week pre-workout or after sitting for a long time helps increase range of motion.

👉We tend to first hear the word 'kegel' when you become pregnant, which is probably where you're at if you're seeing this post.

So here is a simple image to guide you through a kegal. Save for later 🔰

I used to think kegals would make a vaginal labour less painful but thats not the case, unfortunately.🤷‍♀️

What they can do is help strengthen your deep core muscles for..
➡️ supporting baby as they grow
➡️help guide baby down and out
➡️ease recovery postpartum.👏

Don't put pressure on yourself if you forget to do them throughout your pregnancy, there's a million and one things us mamas need to think of.💕

I found doing them while driving or working at my desk became a routine if this helps you?

Lots of different things are recommend such but i would start first with a kegal app and go from there. I personally used the 2 minute relax mode on for timing without having to focus as the watch vibrates.

🟣Grab a small hand towel to help
🟣Don't do kegals if your are suffering pelvic pain, seek help from your women's health physio first.

Comment with any questions and I'll guide you to the right people x
