Welcome to the third trimester. In this program while you’re working on your health and fitness you can also prepare for labour & delivery!

A greater understanding of both the anatomy of the pelvis, as well as the anatomy during labour and delivery can be extremely helpful. 

Pain is an extremely common concern that women have going into labour and during labour. This section is meant to help you understand pain, how it is perceived in our body, and of course how you can help manage pain during labour and delivery. Knowledge is power, especially when it comes to labour and delivery!

Your breath is a powerful thing. In this section we not only talk about breathing strategies during exercise and it's impact on your body, but also your breath as an amazing tool to help you progress and cope through labour. 

Learn various positions to try during either labour or the delivery phase. Practice before hand so you're comfortable with the idea of changing positions if you feel you need to help progress labour or improve your comfort level.

Sometimes despite our best intentions, a cesarean section can be the outcome your baby and body needed. One of the biggest things I hear from moms who ended up having a c-section was how underprepared they were for the recovery. So while you might be preparing for a vaginal delivery, also being prepared for a c-section can help drastically improve your postpartum recovery. Even a little knowledge can help set you up in a more positive way.
