STOP doing kegels on repeat. ⚠️

If you’ve ever been told the solution to pregnancy or postpartum leakage, heaviness, or birth prep is to “just do more kegels”… you’ve only been given half the story.

👉 The pelvic floor’s job isn’t just to squeeze.
👉 In birth, its most important job is actually to let go.
👉 When controlling leakage or pressure, we need to coordinate BOTH aspects.

When we only focus on strength, without training coordination and relaxation, we miss the bigger picture—and set ourselves up for more tension, more pain, and less progress.

In today’s carousel, I’m breaking down:
💡 The truth about what the pelvic floor actually does
💡 Why kegels alone aren’t the answer in pregnancy
💡 3 smarter ways to train your pelvic floor

📌 Save this post for later + share it with a mama friend who needs to hear it.

EXERCISE IN PREGNANCY // Week 30 🤰🏼✨

This week, I created a barre-based movement circuit — it’s the perfect blend of strength, stability and breathwork that will leave you feeling GOOD.

Prenatal barre helps build endurance in your hips, glutes, and core — all essential for pelvic support and labor prep — without overloading your system.

Here’s what I’m focusing on at 30 weeks pregnant ⤵️

1 — Single-Leg RDL Pulses
→ Strengthens balance + glute stability for everyday movement.

2 — Single-Leg RDL Crunch
→ Challenges stability while connecting deep core engagement.

3 — Standing Hip Abduction
→ Activates outer hips to support pelvic alignment.

4 — Standing Hip External Rotation
→ Strengthens deep rotators to keep hips balanced.

5 — Deep Hip Squat
→ Restores pelvic floor mobility + prepares body for birth.

✨ Small, intentional moves — BIG impact for your core and pelvic floor.

➡️ Want the full routine?! I’ve got you covered!! This + so much more support awaits you inside Holistically Well Pregnancy.

At my recent midwife appointment, we talked about the impact of proactive preconception planning and how positively this has translated into pregnancy.

We discussed a whole host of benefits, many of which I’ve outlined above for you. 👆🏼

Learning *why* preconception care can benefit you, and your baby, is so important!

Today, I was talking with a friend about how we wish this was mainstream. That *every* woman in her 20’s and 30’s should have access to evidence based information to *learn* how to optimally support her body before pregnancy.

So I created a FREE Preconception Mindful Movement video and resource guide for you! Now you can begin to support your body today. No strings attached.
