As I get closer to my due date, this workout is exactly what I am looking for. I love that it gets me moving and feeling like I am getting some good activity in for the day!

Preparing for baby number for delivery and hopefully naturally. This certainly felt like it opened everything but at the same time very spicy workout. Thank you hannah

38 weeks and some change! Just what I needed today💜

Courtney

i’ve been waiting my whole pregnancy to do this workout!!! 39 weeks + 1 day & this was exactly what i needed!!

Saryn Johnson

38 weeks. ☺️ Definitely slower and lessened some reps.

Kelly

40 w 2 days trying to move this baby down 😂😂 thanks for this! Made my hips feel great actually!!

Allyson

Easy paced workouts to help prepare for labor and get baby engaged into pelvis!

10 sumo squats w. Weight 
10 sumo squats without weight
10-20sec sumo squat hold with rocking

Tri-set

Weight is optional

This is similar to curb walking to help get baby lower! Having a foot up on elevation is fantastic for opening the pelvis

Elevated side lunge to squat

I’m slowly getting better at this day by day but man it is a tough concept to grasp after breathing “wrong” for 23 years lol

Taylor Jackson

What is diaphragmatic breathing?

I’m so sorry the rating was by mistake😭 I LOVED all the modifications and they were extremely helpful. Five star hands down! I feel so excited and empowered to get started!

Glad to find these in my first trimester to work with throughout pregnancy!

Devon

Feels great! Glad I learned something new

Ellie

Hey I’ve been taking the prenatal pills wrong like my whole pregnancy I have three months left should I start taking four a day ?!?!

Celeste

Important stretches for pregnancy

Very good. Am doing these before/after every  workout

Gayla

It’s amazing how much thought goes into this exercise originally! This has really challenged me to think how disciplined I am control IAP throughout the regular course of my days. Really thankful for the Hannah highlighting the importance of such a practice.

I’m currently 21 weeks pregnant and did these with my daughter who is 11 months (was not planning to have kids this close together). I am having trouble this time around connecting my pelvic floor to my TVA engagement. I also find myself in a constant state of engagement of my lower abs to stabilize myself and my weakening back which is causing separation of my upper abs-do you have suggestions (while doing daily activities) to maybe work towards relaxing but also maintaining a stable core?

Belly Pump

Trying to get her in the right place! 33 weeks and went back to breech! 🤷‍♀️

Ashley Powell

I found out I’m pregnant and am so excited to incorporate your exercises to my day today exercises

Megan

Locked Pelvis

Baby dropped last night! Instinctively, I feel like I've got maybe 2 more weeks until she comes, but I still hope for longer. Homework will be done to keep my little gymnast where she should be! ❤

I didn’t really have the area to do the side laying one, and the laying on the back for 10 mins confuses me with all the don’t lie on your back statements (mind you 11 years ago when I had my daughter that was never a thing) pregnancy these days is so complicated 😂

Candice Stone

4 Stretches- birth prep

Pregnant with twins ha given me a lot of pelvic pain in the middle to end of my second trimester so these pelvic girdle pain focused exercises have been so helpful!

Marisa Savluk

Fernanda

Hi Hannah! I love your app. I am 15 weeks pregnant and am having a lot of lower back pain (pregnant and was overweight before I got pregnant) are there stretches you can recommend to relieve some of that pain? Thank you!

Caity Liggon

I am getting close and this was the perfect video to watch on stretches to prepare for labor!

Definitely going to start doing these in the morning with my cat/cows

Angela

Never knew how how tight I was till I started these 💜 thank you

I’m so thankful I found you and especially these workouts. Beginning before I was pregnant, to now and starting this pregnancy (4th one) with all the right information. I feel so empowered and strong and like I’m taking care of my body and baby so much more with the knowledge you share with everyone. ❤️

Absolutely love these. I’m 35 weeks now! Did you do these all the way till you delivered?

Doing inner core work after morning yoga is my new favorite thing! Feels nice to slow things down and work on core engagement 🔥

I’m so happy I found your app and these core exercises ❤️

Really enjoyed this. Feel like I'm really starting to feel my core.

This is absolutely going to be one of my weekly practices while pregnant. Had to modify the third one bc I believe I saw some coming. I also have a mesh repaired hernia I have to keep in mind while pregnant also. Thank you so much for posting these!
