Running for Real Pregnancy and Postpartum Podcast Series
When I started my journey from overcoming amenorrhea to becoming a mother, I wanted something to listen to while I was getting my period back, while I was waiting to find out whether I was pregnant or not, while I was waiting for morning sickness to leave me alone.
But there was nothing out there. There were books on how to stay fit while pregnant, and there were articles about running while pregnant, but most of them didn’t answer the scary question; is running while pregnant safe? Just how much? Will I harm my baby if I run too hard? What about after pregnancy, when can I start running again?
I decided to create my own, and share my findings with you.
This series gives you a place to learn from medical professionals. You will hear from OBGYNs, authors of stay fit while pregnant books, neuroscientists, pelvic floor therapists, researchers, registered dietitians and more!
