Manage episode 373539926 series 3437187
What happens when we start taking care of our bodies and minds during pregnancy and after childbirth? Kath Baquie, a women's physiotherapist and the founder of FitNest Mama, joins us to share her unique insights.
In this enlightening conversation, we discuss the real post-birth challenges and how they can affect your breastfeeding journey. Kath also shares some practical strategies for breastfeeding moms, including the art of lying down to breastfeed—a real game-changer for many mothers.
As Kath passionately tells us, investing in pelvic health and making adjustments to our exercise routine after childbirth can have long-term positive impacts. We also explore easy exercises for moms because even small movements can help us feel better. So, join us for this heartfelt discussion and learn why taking time for ourselves as new mothers is not just important, it's essential.
