Well hello there, welcome to our 100th episode of the FitNest Mama Podcast!

I’m really excited by today’s episode, because, for something a bit different, I am going to discuss my 3 biggest takeaways from doing these 100 podcast episodes.

So from all the guest speakers we’ve had on board, I am going to share my 3 biggest ‘ah ha’ moments.

My first key take-away relates to vaginal birth, and also caesarean births.

Second key take-away is for c-section mamas, whether it is emergency or elective.

And third key take-away discusses the recovery aspect, so there is something for everyone, whether or not you are pregnant, or you are a new mum.

Podcast episodes discussed in this episode:

2: Induction & Childbirth with midwife Beth Ryan, otherwise known as Birth with Beth.

30: Hypnobirthing for a caesarean birth Vanessa Bernard

42: Hypnobirthing with Rosie Purdue72: Maternal Assisted Caesarean Births

Pelvic Floor Friday #7 [Quality Lift]

Send us a text

Welcome back to the Pelvic Floor Friday session!

Today, we are focussing on a quality pelvic floor lift. I am going to talk you through a few ways of imagining your pelvic floor, we are going to do a lovely lift together, and then focus on that full relaxation and release.

So, although I am talking you through this pelvic floor set, if you’ve been listening to me for awhile you will know I always say how everyone is on their own journey,

Everyone is different.

Focus on quality over quantity.

And if you can’t hold for as long as I say, please don’t.

Any discomfort or questions please do stop and consult your healthcare provider.

Right, let’s dive in.

Find a position where you can relax.

1. Focus on draw string bag. Close off the bag, then lift it up off the ground.

2. Clock face. Bring the 4 points on the clock together in the middle.

3. Relaxation: focus on full release. Imagine a bud is blooming. Dropping and flopping. Avoiding straining down, instead release and let all the muscle tension drop away.LINKS:

Welcome to the Pelvic Floor Friday session!
Enjoy this Pyramid Pelvic Floor set to help mix things up and keep it interesting!
Every week on a Friday, I talk you through a set of pelvic floor exercises. Then, our normal podcast episodes will be released every Tuesday.

These episodes are short, these episodes are actionable, and are designed to just help you get it done and tick off your pelvic floor from the to-do list.

Perfect if you’re having a vaginal or a caesarean birth, pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, or years and years down the track.

You could even send this podcast episode to your mum, as pelvic floor exercises are something I believe ALL women need to do.
