Exercise in high risk pregnancy with maternal fetal medicine specialist Dr. Jonathon Rosner
The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
10/02/24 • 74 min
We know that exercise is recommended when everything is okay in pregnancy ... but what about when complications come up?
That’s where Dr. Rosner comes in
Jonathon is a maternal fetal medicine specialist or high risk OB who works at Mount Sinai South Nassau. In todays episode, he answers listeners questions, gives some ideas of how HE prescribes exercise and overall gives lots of wonderful information on how he comes alongside mamas to be when things are a little bit scary and stressful.
Dr. Rosner asked for one clarification: I'd like to clarify that for patients without any significant medical history, those patients can see either a midwife or an obgyn. However patients with a significant medical history such as hypertension, diabetes, or patients who develop a routine pregnancy complication such as hypertension or those who wish to undergo a repeat section should consider going to an obgyn.

Bracing and Belting for Performance and The Pelvic Floor
The Barbell Mamas Podcast | Pregnancy, Postpartum, Pelvic Health
09/25/24 • 34 min
Having a strong brace is important for lifting heavy weights. It is a critical part of CrossFit, powerlifting and weightlifting. Not to mention just life. We use bracing when we move couches, pick up our kiddos etc.
Weightlifting belts are a performance aid that really helps us to create stiffness through our midline to lift more as well.
We did an entire video on it on our YouTube channel.
Knowing HOW to brace and use a weightlifting belt though is super important for our pelvic floors AND our performance. 50% of women pee when they lift heavy weights.
That is a massive number! But there is things we can do about it. We break it all down in this week's podcast episode
