Lindsay McCoy - Body Ready Method on Instagram: "Steal this movement sequence I made sure to do every week of my pregnancies.🤰🏼 It hits all of the important things: pelvic mobility, pelvic floor health, upper body mobility. Birth prep does NOT need to be time consuming and confusing! Sometimes it’s as simple as 5 minutes a day. ✨ #pregnant #prenatalfitness #mobilitytraining #prenatalexercise #healthypregnancy #birthpreparation"

Poppy Child, Leading Hypnobirthing Educator & Doula on Instagram: "If you're worried about tearing during labour, then one way to prepare is to do perineal massage! 👇🏼 From 35 weeks onwards, try this technique... ✨ Wash your hands (hygiene first, always!) ✨ Use a natural, unscented oil like olive or coconut oil ✨ Insert two thumbs and gently massage in a ‘U’ motion ✨ If it feels tricky to reach, ask your birth partner to help Did you do this during your pregnancy?

Ella Dove on Instagram: "Comment ‘PELVIS’ for a full length video birth prep routine you can follow at home. Did you know? As your baby’s head begins to crown, your body needs to prepare for a significant opening of your pelvic outlet, the bottom third of your pelvis, and your pelvic floor muscles must stretch to their maximum capacity. 🌟 Positions that open your lower pelvis are key. Two essential movements for this stage are: 1. Hip Internal Rotation- helps move your sitz bones apart. 2. Anterior Pelvic Tilt- allows your tailbone to move back. Practicing these movements can help you find the positions you’re most comfortable with and boost your confidence when it’s time for your baby’s final descent. Try these exercises to improve joint and muscle mobility, ensuring you’re ready wh

Poppy Child, Leading Hypnobirthing Educator & Doula on Instagram: "When those contractions hit, your birth partner can be your secret weapon! In this video, I’m showing you a simple but powerful technique using pressure points to help you through contractions. Here’s how they can help: ✅ Fist Counter Pressure: Pushing firmly on the lower back with fists during contractions to ease intensity. ✅ Thumb Pressure: Pressing the same spot each time for consistency (hello, relief!). ✅ Palm Squeeze: Using the whole hand to apply deep, grounding pressure. This technique can help ease intensity, distract from discomfort, and keep you feeling in control. Tag your birth partner & get them practicing! 👍 Follow for DAILY birth tips 🩷 Liking my content?

Gio | Doula | CBE | CLE on Instagram: "How to ACTUALLY reduce tearing in labor! To clarify- tearing is of course a valid fear! And of course something we should prevent. BUT I often hear that as a fear before birth, and then surprise afterwards about how there were more intense parts of both labor and recovery. Also- this of course applies to small tears, not major 3rd/4th degree! • • • • • #labor #birth #birthplan #birthtips #unmedicatedbirth #labor #pregnant #pregnancy #birthdoula #childbirth"

Ashli Lamattina | Fitness + Mindset Coach for Busy Moms on Instagram: "👉Ever feel like no matter how many core workouts you do, that lower belly just won’t “tighten up”? 🙋🏻‍♀️If you need a place to start, you’re not alone. Comment “FREE” for my Mombod Method Core Guide & Workouts! I get it—because I used to think I had to crunch my way to a stronger core, too. But here’s what I wish more moms knew: ➡️ Your hip flexors play a huge role in how your core functions (and how it looks). ➡️ Weak, tight hip flexors can pull your pelvis forward, making your lower belly “stick out” more. ➡️ Strengthening them (instead of just stretching!) supports your deep core and improves posture—aka, you feel stronger in everyday mom life. 🚫 This isn’t about “fixing” a mom pooch. Because your body isn’t

Marya Eddaifi | Birth Empowerment Coach on Instagram: "**Prepare Your Body for a Faster, Easier Birth with Soft Tissue Release and Mobility Work** Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, and preparing your body for birth is one of the most empowering steps you can take. Soft tissue bodywork and mobility exercises are key tools to help your body open easily during labor, reducing the risk of interventions like a cesarean. ✨ **Why Soft Tissue Release Matters** Tight muscles and restrictions in your pelvis, hips, and lower back can create unnecessary tension during birth. Releasing these areas with gentle bodywork improves alignment and flexibility, allowing your baby to move into the optimal position for an easier delivery. ✨ **Mobility Work for Birth Prep** Incorporating targeted mobility

Strengthening your core in pregnancy doesn’t mean you have to do deadbugs and birddogs for 9 months. Save or send to a friend who’s pregnant or postpartum & would love this! These easy changes to everyday exercises that add core instability in a safe and effective way. A Few Tips 💡 🌶️ Spice up your squat thrusters but removing one dumbbell. The uneven weight will require your obliques and deep core to stabilize your spine. ⚡️One heavy dumbbell can be more effective than 2 medium for alternating lunges. You’ll notice each rep will challenge your entire body. 🚨Did you know that kneeling removes any help you may get from your legs and requires yo

Core and Floor Restore on Instagram: "💡Research has shown that how we move our hips & spine can actually help stop leaking urine when you cough or sneeze, and reduce those constant urges to rush to the toilet - it’s not about just squeezing a muscle!

A 2021 study found improving hip mobility and spinal movement patterns can help reduce urgency (feeling like you constantly need to wee all day long) and stress (leaking when you cough/sneeze/jump/walk) incontinence.

In fact, it actually found that there was NO difference in pelvic floor strength in people with or without incontinence but there was a significant difference in their hip range of movement and strength.

Your pelvic floor is really dynamic and resilient but it often gets the blame when it’s actually the victim!

Pelvic floor lengthening & mobility: this is something you can start early on in pregnancy, but is especially important starting at about 34 weeks. Your pelvic floor muscles must know how to lengthen to help guide the baby out during child birth. This will help decrease tearing & may expedite the delivery process! 2. Moderate strength training: I trained from home & with just dumbbells throughout my entire pregnancy (literally until the day I gave birth). Did I have to slow down towards the end? Definitely. But I showed up, continued to build strength, & prepared my body for the toughest event of my life - birth! 3.

Inner Thigh Stretches

Karlie | pregnancy & postpartum tips on Instagram: "✨version 2 of pregnancy stretches✨ 👉🏼These are some of my best “bang for your buck” stretches during pregnancy. 1. Figure 8s for your upper back- this occ makes me dizzy so if that happens to you, skip this one! If not, it helps SO much with getting your ribs moving 2. Single sided inner thigh stretch- these muscles (the adductors) get really tight and can lock down your pelvis, something we don’t want as we prepare for baby to come! 3. Hip shifts- you’ll really notice if one side is tighten than the other with these. Shift side to side through the hips. 4. Childs pose/ puppy pose- let your belly really hang (should feel good!) and keep your bum up in the air 5. belly/diaphragm breathing- try to keep your chest still as you brea
