Have you ever wondered how water can enhance your pregnancy journey? 🌊 Practicing yoga in water and exploring water birth techniques are two powerful ways to support a healthier and more peaceful pregnancy. Water’s natural buoyancy and calming properties make it a perfect environment for both exercise and birthing. Here’s what I’ve learned and observed from guiding mothers through these practices: ➡️ Yoga in Water – The buoyancy of water helps reduce stress on joints, allowing for more gentle and fluid movements. It promotes flexibility, reduces swelling, and enhances relaxation—all essential for an expecting mom. 🧘♀️🌊 ➡️ Water Birth – Laboring in water can help manage pain, lower stress, and promote a more natural and soothing delivery. The warm water eases contractions, helping mothers stay calmer and more focused during childbirth. ➡️ Enhanced Relaxation and Comfort – Water, by its very nature, has a calming effect on the body and mind. Practicing prenatal yoga in water or considering water birth can create a sense of comfort and reduce anxiety. Water is not just an element—it’s a powerful ally in the journey of pregnancy and birth. Have you or anyone you know tried yoga in water or water birth? What are your thoughts on these practices? 💬 Let’s start a conversation and share insights. And if you’d like to know more about incorporating these practices into your pregnancy, feel free to reach out! Water can be a game-changer for expecting moms.

You may hate me for saying this but, Pregnancy is not just about that glowy phase everyone talks about! Yeah, it’s not all butterflies and sunshine. For many, it comes with face fat, pigmentation, migraines, and a whole bunch of other not-so-fun stuff. 😅 And let’s be real – this can seriously put a dent in your confidence. But here’s the thing: while your body is doing the incredible work of preparing for motherhood, face yoga can be your secret weapon to feeling more fresh and confident 🥰💯. Take Jyoti’s story, for example – a soon-to-be mom who’s been embracing face yoga during her pregnancy. She’s experiencing the benefits firsthand: ✅ "Pregnancy ke waqt, face yoga se relaxed feel karti hoon. Neend bhi acchi aati hai, migraine mai relief hai, aur face pe glow bhi hai. Even if my weight is on the higher side, halki halki jawline nazar aa rahi hai!" Jyoti also mentioned how much she appreciates my guidance: “Savitu ke instructions se mujhe aur accha lagta hai – she guides me so well!” If you know someone who is expecting, share this post with them as a gentle reminder to take care of their skin too! 💖 #FaceYogaWithSavituSingh #SavituSingh #PregnancyJourney #Transformation #ClientStory #NaturalSolution #FaceYoga

As someone who runs parent groups, I often hear a lot of old wives’ tales and myths about exercising during pregnancy. These myths can be confusing and sometimes even deter expectant mothers from staying active. Today, I want to take a moment to bust a few of these common myths that we frequently discuss in our groups: 🚫 Myth 1: “You should avoid all exercise during pregnancy.” ✅ Reality: While rest is important, staying active during pregnancy can actually improve your mood, energy levels, and even make labor easier. Of course, it’s crucial to listen to your body and choose safe, low-impact exercises that fit your current fitness level. 🚫 Myth 2: “Running is too dangerous during pregnancy.” ✅ Reality: If you were a runner before pregnancy, you can usually continue running, especially in the early stages. It’s important to modify your routine as your pregnancy progresses, staying mindful of your body’s signals. Always consult with your healthcare provider to ensure running is safe for you. 🚫 Myth 3: “Lifting weights can cause harm to the baby.” ✅ Reality: Strength training, with appropriate modifications, is beneficial for pregnant women. It helps prepare your body for the physical demands of labor and motherhood. Focus on lighter weights with more repetitions, and avoid any exercises that cause discomfort or strain. 🚫 Myth 4: “You should wait until after pregnancy to start any new exercise routine.” ✅ Reality: It’s never too late to start incorporating movement into your day! Whether it’s walking, prenatal yoga, or swimming, starting a new, gentle exercise routine during pregnancy can have numerous benefits. Just be sure to consult your healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise regimen. Remember, every pregnancy is unique, so what works for one person might not work for another. The key is to listen to your body, and always consult your healthcare provider or a specialist before making any major changes to your exercise routine. Let’s continue to have this conversations to build a community and empower expectant mothers to stay healthy and active! 💪 Let’s make sure no parent has to navigate parenthood alone! Happy Friday everyone Muscle Mind Care CIC/Muscle Mind Wellness #PregnancyExercise #MythBusting #PrenatalFitness #HealthyPregnancy #ParentingJourney

The last few weeks of pregnancy can feel like an eternity. Don't worry, I've got you covered with some ways to stay distracted after 37 weeks! 👉🏻 Hey! I'm Trish ❤, or @labor.nurse.mama, the only birth class that comes with a nurse coaching you- comment #CLASS❤️ Here are some ideas to keep you occupied as you wait for your little one to arrive: Get some exercise 🤸♀️: Staying active can help you feel more energized and less stressed. Go for a walk, take a prenatal yoga class, or try swimming to stay active and relieve some tension. I know, sounds easier said than done at this stage, but keep in mind that it will help baby move down into the pelvis and get ready for birth. Learn a new skill 🤓: Have you always wanted to learn how to knit, cook a new dish, or play an instrument? Now is the perfect time to pick up a new skill and keep your mind engaged. It’s also a great time to get into meal prepping and prep meals for after the baby is here so you don’t have to worry about it during the first few weeks of postpartum. Spend time with loved ones 🤗: Surround yourself with the people you love and who make you feel good. Spend time with your partner, family, and friends to stay connected and ease any nerves. This can be a great time for a local babymoon if you haven’t taken one yet. Practice relaxation techniques 🧘♀️: Take some time for yourself and practice relaxation techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or visualization to help you feel calm and centered. It’s also a great time to practice your breathing and prepare for birth too! Prepare for baby 🍼: Use this time to get organized and prepare for your baby's arrival. Set up the nursery, wash baby clothes, and pack your hospital bag so you'll feel ready when the time comes. Remember, every pregnancy is different, so don't put too much pressure on yourself to be productive all the time. Rest when you need to, and take care of yourself and your growing baby. You're almost there! 🙌❤️ How are you passing the time until baby arrives?

Antenatal Yoga: 2 weeks ago I visited the pregnancy yoga class @Kin where the Mums enjoy mindful movement I asked the Mothers there “What have you heard about breastfeeding”? “What have you read”? “What did your friends tell you”? As a lactation consultant, I wish I could share tips with every parent during pregnancy. Many breastfeeding challenges could be avoided with the right support and information early on. 🌟Babies feed best when calm & stable. Lie your baby on your chest and allow them to find the way to the breast - many babies can manage this without help. 🌟Look into expressions colostrum from 37 weeks to prepare for any early challenges. Don’t stress about volumes - just learn the skills. 🌟Second Night Syndrome: It's normal for newborns to be fussy on the second night. Keep them close and feed often. 🌟Forget Foremilk & Hindmilk: Let your baby feed until satisfied; switch sides as needed without worrying too much about how long they stay on the breast. 🌟The Three 'Keeps': When the breastfeeding journey feels derailed, Keep your baby close, fed, and your milk flowing to overcome early hurdles. For more support, check out my antenatal breastfeeding sessions. Let's make your breastfeeding journey smoother! 🌟 #BreastfeedingTips #NewParents #LactationConsultant #BabyThrive #ibclc #liquidgold

Most of the time, people come to me for inspiration, but often times, I’m the one that gets inspired. Great job @akpatrick1 . Pregnant and still going!! Myth #1: If you don’t usually exercise, you shouldn’t start during pregnancy. This myth has proliferated for many years, but pregnancy is actually an ideal time to start an exercise program — even if you’ve never really exercised before. Public health guidelines for pregnant women recommend moderate exercise or activity for approximately 150 minutes per week (or 30 minutes per day, five days a week). The following are ideal exercises during pregnancy: Walking: Walking at a moderate pace can be a great, easy way to fulfill the recommended guidelines. If you’re walking, you should be able to walk and talk at the same time. If you can’t, you should slow down. Gym activities: Working out on the elliptical or doing water exercises in the pool are healthy and safe ways to stay active. Pilates or yoga: Pilates and yoga can be mentally and physically beneficial. However, hot yoga is not recommended because you should always stay cool and hydrated while pregnant. The most important thing while performing these exercises is to keep it at a moderate level. Don’t push yourself to the point of exhaustion. You should be especially careful with exercises that could cause you to lose your balance, since having a fall during pregnancy can be very serious. Riding a bicycle, for example, might not be the safest form of exercise during pregnancy due to the increased fall risk. What’s most important is to find something you enjoy while staying safe. Talk to your doctor to see what works with your personal history. More details in future posts! Come back for more! . . . . #pregnancy #pregnancylife #fitpregnancyjourney #fitpregnancy #personaltrainer #personaltrainernyc #bodytransformation

Expecting moms, let's talk about inducing labor with Oxytocin vs. Pitocin! 🤰 🌿 Oxytocin (also known as the “love hormone” or "cuddle hormone”) is a hormone and neuropeptide that plays a crucial role childbirth Here's how it works: During pregnancy, oxytocin levels gradually rise, preparing your body for the magical moment of childbirth. As your due date approaches, oxytocin production ramps up even further, helping to trigger uterine contractions and the eventual arrival of your little bundle of joy! But here's the best part: you can naturally boost your oxytocin levels by engaging in activities that promote relaxation and positive emotions. Whether it's enjoying a soothing massage, cuddling with your partner, or practicing mindfulness techniques like deep breathing or visualization, these simple acts of self-care can help stimulate oxytocin release and support the progression of labor. 💉 Pitocin: A synthetic hormone, is often used medically to induce labor. It can stimulate contractions, assisting in initiating childbirth (AND can cause a lot of problems for people). It is only a necessity to use in certain situations like if the baby's heart rate is failing. That said, if you're eagerly awaiting your baby's arrival and hoping for a natural childbirth experience, remember to embrace those oxytocin-boosting moments of love and connection. Your body knows exactly what to do, and oxytocin is here to lend a helping hand along the way! 🤱💕 . #pregnancy #pregnant #maternity #wellness #expecting #healthy #babybump #momtobe #healthyliving #mommytobe #hormones #babyontheway #didyouknow #fetus #maternal #birth #doula #prenatal #motherhood #mama #momlife #mumtobe #holistichealth #womenshealth #oxytocin #babylove #newbaby #babiesofinstagram #expectingmom #fourthtrimester
