Your pelvic floor doesn’t wait until birth to start doing the heavy lifting 👀 This was SUCH a good visual from Alice, pelvic floor physio from @alchemyinmotion.gympie when she joined our Raising Mamas groups. She had four of us hold a towel tight, then loaded 10kg of weights onto it to demonstrate the additional load the pelvic floor can be supporting by the end of pregnancy. Then she took the weights away. The natural instinct? Pull the towel tight again. But Alice told us not to. And suddenly you could see the point she was making. The load might be gone, but that doesn’t mean the muscles and tissues immediately return to exactly where they started. It’s also such an important reminder that pelvic floor recovery isn’t only a conversation for mums who have had a vaginal birth. Pregnancy itself places significant demand on the pelvic floor, regardless of how your baby eventually enters the world. This is why we bring practitioners like Alice into our groups. Because understanding what has actually happened to your body can completely change the way you think about recovering from pregnancy and birth 🤎 And sometimes all it takes is a towel and 10kg of weights to make it click. 22/08/2026

A C-section does not protect you from pelvic floor weakness. Whether you deliver naturally or with intervention, the damage done to your pelvic floor is caused by the sheer weight of the contents of your uterus, including the placenta, fluid, and baby. So whatever, your journey, you need to carefully restore your pelvic floor so you can feel fully recovered and regain total functionality. At FitMama you can rehabilitate from as early as two weeks after natural birth under safe guidance from Coach ant Doula, Marie Behenna. Www.fitmamaonline.com

Summer holidays means we get lots of little VIP guests to the studio. Today, I had the pleasure of training this 7 year old superstar with his mum. He first came to the studio when he was a tiny baby and now he’s mummy’s little training partner 💛💙🙌🏻

The mum shown training in this reel exercised through both pregnancies with me. With her first pregnancy, Susannah attended my regular basic pregnancy exercise classes, but by the time baby number two came along, she was on a more intense fitness journey with me. Here she is training through that pregnancy using the modified techniques I taught her to keep the workout safe for her pregnancy. She certainly finished this pregnancy in a much stronger position and was exercising right up until she gave birth. Her recovery was fast and she returner exercise following my safe post birth repair journey

It’s not unusual for me to be seen carrying a baby or rocking a buggy during any given FitMama™️ class in Basingstoke. Pictured here at the Aquadrome, my chirpy assistant Archie was full of giggles and dribbles yesterday. What a sweet boy, who just needs a cuddle so mummy can get on with her exercise. FItMama™️ classes have been welcoming babies for over 20 years and we have been pioneers of making exercise accessible for mums who don’t have the luxury of childcare. Our classes are very relaxed when it comes to babies and children, you never need to worry about them making a fuss or needing a feed. I’m a mum of three and also your supportive doula for any course you are on with me, so I understand and care about how you feel. Aquadrome classes are funded by Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council and taught by yours truly

The excitement of becoming parents can also be overwhelming and worrying, and comes with pressures that you may not have felt before. It’s so important as parents to talk about your feelings and make sure that you agree on how you will approach facing parenting challenges as a couple. Even in a world of blended and different family structures, it’s important to find common ground so that when the difficult phases arrive, you have each other’s back… Especially when our little treasures become old enough to figure out how to play us off against one another. A united parenting front helps us to raise well adjusted children. Even if you disagree in the moment when your child is present, talk about that in private so you present a strong parenting foundation

Tai chi during pregnancy has many health benefits, particularly for mums who are feeling worried or anxious. This gentle movement might be the best form of exercise for you if you are unable to participate in other more active styles during pregnancy, or simply if you need something to help you relax while you connect with your baby’s energy. Classes are on Thursdays at 7pm and taught by me,
