Benefits

Healthier Mum

Partaking in a structured exercise program like the one I have designed has been shown to reduce risk of gestation diabetes, preeclampsia, excessive weight gain, depression & complication during labor.

A health mum also means you will be able look after your growing infant with confidence.

Healthier Baby

I have seen/ experienced in my pregnancies how regular exercise combined with good nutrition benefitted the health of my two daughters at birth and into toddlerhood.

There is a growing body of research into how exercise during pregnancy benefits the baby. It has shown to improve the strength of your babies heart, improve muscular coordination, improved motor control, reduce risk of obesity later in life and advanced brain development.

What an fantastic gift you can give your unborn child!

Reduced Pregnancy Pain

My exercises are programmed specifically to help reduce the chances of developing pain during your pregnancy while allowing you to still stay as active in your daily life as possible. I know this program worked because it has allowed me and so many of the pregnant women I see in the clinic to have a more active and fulfilling 9 months of pregnancy

You deserve to feel confident and proud of your pregnant body!

Faster Recovery Postnatal

All the work you put in with me during your pregnancy will continue to pay off even after you have given birth! Not many women realize how physically demanding it can be looking after a new born, toddler, and breastfeeding/bottle feeding every couple of hours. This program is designed to build strength to support both your pregnant body, your post natal recovery and ability to look after your sweet new baby.

The goal is not to reach your post pregnancy body fast, but to reach a healthy, strong post pregnancy body

Start Your Pregnancy The Right Way, Take Control!

Specialized Exercise & Rehab Programming

3 Stage comprehensive pregnancy program specific to the trimester you are in.

Trimester 1 - Goal: Developing baseline postural strength

Healthy & Strong Post-Pregnancy Body

Personalized Meal Plan

The way you choose to fuel your body directly impact your unborn child - For better or worse!

Your food choices will affect your energy levels, ability to focus, sleep, weight gain and nausea.

With my busy work life and family life schedule - Feeding myself was my last priority! I struggled with low iron, low energy levels and poor sleep throughout my pregnancy. That is why we have added a meal planning feature to Pregnancy Physio. Good nutrition is the start of good health! Everything else comes after.

This is something I wish I had in my pregnancy!

Why I designed this program pregnant?

As a passionate Women's Health Physiotherapist, business owner, mom of two and wife, I know all too well the everyday physical and mental challenges pregnant women go through!

Seeing the amount of pregnant women that walked into my physio clinic in large amounts of pain broke my heart! I knew that this was unnecessary and robbed them of the joy that Pregnancy can and should bring.

This is how Pregnancy Physio started!

Pregnancy Physio is me and my journey as a women's health Physiotherapist going through my 2nd pregnancy.

I developed this app while pregnant to allow me to fully understand and experience what each phase of pregnancy felt like for myself in that moment and how my body responded to different exercises, movements and everyday life situations.

I truly believe Pregnancy Physio is something every Women needs to support them through their pregnancy journey.

Live Your Best Life Pregnant!

What Pregnancy Physio Members Are Saying

"I came and saw Nicole during my second pregnancy and postpartum where I had severe back pain. She was absolutely amazing!! Nicole made me feel comfortable at every appointment and went above and beyond to ensure I was on the right road to recovery. She is very knowledgeable in pre and post natal care, I could not recommend Nicole enough!!"

Natasha P

"What a difference a great physio can make! Thank you Nicole for helping me manage my aches and pains during pregnancy and getting me active and confident postpartum. Well worth the investment!"

Anna B

"Working with Nicole made the last trimester bearable. She helped me address so many different aches and pains, and gave me the confidence to know that I can work on being more comfortable by giving me exercises to do at home. It was a really positive and empowering change. We don't just have to put up with discomfort during pregnancy! Next time round I'll be seeing her sooner in the pregnancy."

Viv P

“Nicole have a lot of knowledge in her field, I felt so safe and comfortable in her care. The exercises she gave me was very beneficial. She takes her time and are very caring. Couldn’t recommend her more!”

Nicole Storm

Physiotherapist, Mom & Creator

I am a passionate mom of two, married to my best friend whom I share and amazing life as a Physiotherapist in my own clinic. My passion, beside my family is; pregnant moms. Yes, I love to see moms experience the wonderful journey I had with both my pregnancies.

I love rock-climbing, hiking, running and being super active physically and that is why when I got pregnant I did not want to compromise my active lifestyle because I knew that is what fuels my happiness.

Being happy and feeling fulfilled was what was going to get me through this miracle.

By doing this amazing program I was able to keep on climbing until 37 weeks and help my moms in my practice until 36 weeks. I feel so blessed yet know that it was because I put in the work and discipline. I believe I can do this for every mom I meet hence designing and testing this program pregnant.

Post-Partum Week 1 Exercises 😇 Week 1 is all about reconnecting your breath with your pelvic floor & abdominal wall! This might seem like very basic exercises, BUT Your body just went through the most amazing transformation for the past 9months and then again over the course of 2 days. Injury happens when you rush into wanting your body to function like it's "Pre-baby" self. 🤔 It's not pre-baby - it's very must post baby! So make sure you do the fundamentals 💜 * * * * * #breastfeeding #breastfeeding #postpartum #postnatal #baby #strongmum #fitmum #mumlife #momlife #week12baby #babyprogressphotos #postpartumfitness #postpartumbody #postnatalbody #pregnancy #pregnant #fitness #fitnessprogress #csection

Do you want to continue kicking butt at work regardless of being pregnant? 😄 The 2 biggest challenges you'll face will be 1. Fatigue management 2. Pelvic pain As a women in business myself, I know how important it is to priority everyone and everything else above your own needs. BUT when you are pregnant, you will not be able to make it last! Your body will force you to slow down if you are not looking after it. That is why I created the Pregnancy Physio platform! Its a platform designed to support and educate you on how to keep yourself functioning at a optimal level 😎 For more info go to the link in the bio

You can not be diagnosed or diagnose a patient with a tight pelvic floor using palpation. Not even if you used a medical device to detect a "tight" pelvic floor 👎 This is bound to upset a lot of pelvic health Physiotherapist, but I am discussing this because it is a conversation we need to have! There is currently no clinically reliable measure to detect pelvic floor tone. As health professionals we need to base our advise on science and research. Not Instagram trends and theories. Especially when in comes to the field of women's health. If you are still diagnosing women with a hypertonic pelvic floor, than it is not to late to change 🥰 . . . . #womenshealth #womenshealthmatters #womenshealthcare #pelvichealth #pelvichealth #pelvichealthpt #pelvichealthphysio #postpartum #postnatal #postnatalcare #postnatalyoga #postnatalfitness #postnatalpilates #postnatalrecovery #postpartumbody #postpartumjourney #postpartumfitness #PelvicFloor #pelvicfloorpt #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloordysfunction #pregnancy #pregnancylife #pregnancy #pregnantlife #pregnant #pregnantwoman #pregnantbelly

How do you stay safe weight training throughout your pregnancy? Let's break it down a bit 1. No breath holding - Focus on having breath flow while performing different weight lifting movements. Breath holding can result in a big spike in blood pressure 2. Work within a 10-20 rep range. I say this because you ideally want to stay away from typical powerlifting/Olympic lifting rep ranges (1-6). Weight training in pregnancy is focused on preserving maximum muscle mass. Therefore aiming for a 10-20 Rep range will prevent you from lifting to heavy while still making muscle gains. 3. Stay consistent - This is very important! Your body is changing every single week! By staying consistent in the gym you won't notice a dramatic change in the way your body feels between training sessions. 4. Keep with it for as long as possible. There is not clear line in the sand as to how long you can keep training for. The recommendations are that you keep doing it for as long as you can. For more info go to the link in my bio x . . . .

Book Recommendation!! This is a book I frequently recommend to patients in clinic @family_physio The people that think they don't need to know about breathing and the people that need it the most!! They are the people that do not understand the impact breathing patterns has on our daily living.

LETS TALK ABOUT 🤭 This is a conversation that more of us need to be a part of! Pop your headphone and listen to this podcast. I would say there is something that applies to every women in this podcast - pre or post baby. Health and well-being and female intimacy is 100% interconnected. This has always been a controversial conversation to have, especially in a clinical setting. However, one of the most common questions I get in women that come in for a postpartum assessment is in regards to their intimacy. @pelvicwod . . . . #fitnessmotivation #thirdtrimesterproblems #fitandpregnant #pregnancyjourney #pregnancytips #postpartum #postpartum #postpartumbody #postpartumdoula #postpartumjourney #postpartumfitness #postpartumdepression #postpartumbody #postpartumbodyimage #postnatal #postnatalfitness #postnatalworkout #postnatalrecovery #pelvicfloor #pelvicfloorhealth #pelvicfloormuscles #pelvicfloorexercises #pelvicfloordysfunction #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy #pelvicfloor #intimacy #intimacycoach #feminist #strongwomen

This one is close to my heart as I have had 2 c-sections myself. I really know 1st hand how hard it can be Returning back to full function post C-Section. You know what is really shocking to me... There is no standardized post surgical rehab program! This is major abdominal surgery and require a comprehensive post surgical rehab program. Especially considering you now have to look after a fully dependent baby while be sleep deprived. Haha it makes me laugh otherwise I might just cry 🤣 This is why I'm working on a full online rehab program for women to follow from home post C-Section! I'm so excited about this one!!

Pelvic pain bloody SUCKS! I've treated MANY pregnant women that struggled with pelvic pain over the years. The saddest thing about pelvic pain to me is how it turns pregnancy into a very negative and traumatizing experiencing for many women. This is also the reason why pelvic pain in pregnancy has also been linked with an increased risk of post natal depression. This is why I created Pregnancy Physio. It's an App I created while pregnant to show women how to get through pregnancy feeling strong, empowered and positive about the pregnancy' and baby to come. Set yourself up for success and start working on your body TODAY! Don't wait until you become just another pregnant women with pelvic pain waddling down the road.

So you are Experiencing pelvic pain! What to do now?? The very 1st place you should be starting is with exercise! The vast majority of research has shown exercise to be the very best approach to reducing pelvic pain in pregnancy. Currently there is no one style of exercise to be superior to another style of exercise for improving pelvic pain. The things to factor into your exercise program for improving pelvic pain is: 1 - Have you included your pelvic floor exercises? If No, then make sure you get onto it! 2 - Stay consistent with your exercise program for a minimum of 2 to 4 weeks before you expect to see big changes in your pain levels. 3 - If possible try and include strength work into your program that targets the pelvic muscle groups! If you are still not having any success look into the Pregnancy Physio App! There you will find easy to follow exercise programs designed to reduce pelvic pain in pregnancy.

WHY DO I HAVE SIJ PAIN 😭 I'm glad you asked! #pregnancyphysio #pregnancyexercise #pregnantlife #2ndtrimester #3rdtrimester #12weekspregnant #pregnancyworkout #pregnancyfitnessgoals #mumlife
Button
Muscle activation patterns are different between women who are experiencing sacroiliac joint (SIJ) pain vs women who are pain free! The most surprising finding to me is that pregnant women who are experiencing SIJ pain also has higher resting activation of their glute max muscle compared to pregnant women with no pelvic pain. How common is it for us as health practitioners and fitness trainers to assume a patients/clients pelvic pain is caused by weakness in the glutes?! VERY COMMON! I'm not pointing finger because I have also fallen into that trap. This is just a reminder to make sure we are doing a full unbias assessment of each patient and come up with a personalized treatment plan specific to that patients presentation and life situation.

CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME. Ever wonder what it is exactly? 🤔 #handpain #pregnancyexercise #pregnantlife #pregnancyworkout #pregnancyfitnessgoals #pregnancystrength #pregnantclimber #12weekspregnant #fitmum
Button
Experiencing Hand Numbness?? 🤭 This is a shocking common problem for women in pregnancy and after pregnancy! There are a number of conditions that can cause numbness in the hand during this time. The most common ones are: 1. Carpal tunnel syndrome 2. Cervical radiculopathy (Nerve compression in the neck) 3. Thoracic outlet syndrome (Nerve compression that occur in the neck, shoulder and ribcage) 4. T4 syndrome All 4 of these conditions benefit greatly by doing nerve slider exercises. Sound weird..😐 looks weird as well.. I know! BUT... it works! 🤗 These slider are movements that bias the 3 primary nerve of the upper limb. By performing these movements regularly it desensitize the affected nerve and potentially clears the path it travels down to the hand.

How Incredible Is A Women's Body! 🥰 Our bodies goes through some amazing changes in an incredibly short period during pregnancy. Take a moment and really appreciate how amazing it is to be a women. 🤰 This infographic is not designed to freak you out about becoming pregnant or being pregnant, but rather to get you excited! The best way to help support your body through these changes is through regular exercise targeting the appropriate muscle groups. I know, I know... you are pregnant now and don't feel like exercising. I get! I felt the exact same way. BUT.. you will eventually have to start exercising. It's better to start small now, than waiting to start once you have sever back pain or pelvic pain and can't get up out of bed. Start while you still feel like yourself! 🧘‍♀️ . . . #pregnancy #thirdtrimesterfeels #thirdtrimester #thirdtrimesterproblems #secondtrimester #pregnancyjourney #pregnancytips #pregnancyexercises #2ndtrimester #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyhealth #pregnancylife #activeathome #3rdtrimester #pregnancyworkout #fitandpregnant #pelvicpain #fitspo #fitnessgirl #fitnessmotivation #fit #strongwomen #StrongerTogether #midwife #midwifery #midwiferycare

Need Extra Pelvic Support? This is one of the taping techniques I use for women who are experiencing pelvic pain. You can also use a pregnancy belt. However, Many women I work with in the clinic find wear a pregnancy belt very uncomfortable. That is wear this taping technique becomes helpful! This clip is a short from one of the videos you can find in the app of me explaining how to do this in detail. If you can rope your partner or a family member or bestie in to help you do this, it'll make your life so much easier! #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyworkout #pregnancytips #pregnancy #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyphoto #activeathome #pregnancylife #pregnancyexercises #secondtrimester #2ndtrimester #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #thirdtrimesterfeels #thirdtrimesterproblems #fitandpregnant #pregnancyhealth #pregnant #pelvicpain #pelvicpain #pelvicpainsupport

Pelvic Pain? Try Staggered Stance Squats! When you are experiencing pelvic pain in pregnancy it can be due to: 1. muscle imbalance 2.Shearing force taking place at one of the small pelvic joints. Either way, doing unilateral (One sided) based strengthening exercises can help improve muscle balance and improving the muscles ability to counter shearing base forces. However, many women can tell you just how painful it can be doing a split stance position when one of those small pelvic joints are inflamed during pregnancy. Thus, the staggered stance split squat. You can really control how wide you are able to separate your legs comfortability while still placing the focus on one leg - The front leg. In practice if you are doing this at home to try help with your pelvic pain, here is what you do: 1. Do it approx 3 times a day - 10 per side. This is to help with neuromuscular control 2. Give it a solid effort for approx a week before your expect to see improvements 3. Stop doing the exercise if it causes you to limp straight after. Message me if you have any questions :) #pregnancyjourney #pregnancy #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyphoto #pregnancyworkout #pregnancyexercises #pregnancylife #pregnancytips #Pregnancy #activeathome #secondtrimester #2ndtrimester #3rdtrimester #thirdtrimester #thirdtrimesterfeels #thirdtrimesterproblems

"Make sure you don't separate your legs when exercising" This is very out dated advise! The reason they use to tell women not to separate their legs when exercising is to avoid injury to the pelvis. If you are going to avoid any sort of split stance exercise for 9 months imagine the sort of muscle weakness that will develop around the pelvis! As a result of the muscle weakness around the pelvis, you will be more likely to injury yourself in a split stance position. Isn't that ironic! My view point on pelvic health through pregnancy is one of gradual strength development in a large variety of pelvic and hip positions from the start. By targeting the muscles around the pelvis and teaching them to work appropriately in different angles (Neuromuscular control), your body will be better equip to handle all sorts of life situations! . . . #pregnancy #pregnancylife #pregnancytips #pregnancyjourney #pregnancyworkout #pregnancylife #pregnancyphoto #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyexercises #pregnancyexercisespecialist

Let's talk about abdominal separations! #pregnancyphysio #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyworkout #pregnantpilates #pregnancyfitnessgoals #pregnancystrength #fitmums
Button
ABDOMINAL SEPARATIONS during pregnancy. Now this is a hot topic at the moment amongst pregnant women. Everyone wants to know how to avoid getting an abdominal separations and how to fix it! 1. How to avoid it? Research has not found a single clinically significant cause. In my experience I look for abdominal doming. Every women's abdominal function is different and needs to be assessed on a individual basis. 2. How do you know if you have one? Well.. no one body of research or clinical body can agree on what classifies as an abdominal separations. If you can visually see a deformity then it would be good to get it checked by a Physiotherapist or if you are experiencing pain or weakness in the abdominal area. Otherwise, I would recommend going through a generalized rehab course for the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. 3. How to fix it? Exercise! Specific to your strength and function. I look for exercises where the women has no doming, pain or downward pressure into her pelvic floor and start there. That exercise will be different from women to women. . . . . . #pregnancy #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyworkout #pregnancystrength #fitmum #pregnancyphysio #abdominalseparation #postpartum #Postnatal #postpartumrehab #Postnatalrehab #postnatalexercise #postpartumexercise #postnatalrecovery

VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE 🌶 There is no such thing as a perfect working position. The ideal working position is one that changes frequently. When working from home don't fall into the trap of feeling like you need to get the perfect work set up. Like I said before. Variety is the key to long term joint and muscular health in any job! Here are 3 positions I like to change between while working on the computer from home. Yes, I look like a weirdo.. 🤪 BUT atleast I'm not going to be struggling with a stiff & sore back. . . . . . #worklife #stretching #stretches #mobility #mobilitytraining #healthylifestyle #health #physiotherapy #physicaltherapy #squat #postnatal #postpartumbody

Did you know this?? 😲 During my pregnancy I know there were times where it felt like the exercise I did was all for nothing.. BUT.. Being 8 weeks post Partum, I can now see how it paid off!! I am able to participate in sport at a level I am happy with, I'm able to train in the gym with minimal to no strength loss and I can breastfeed and look after my girls with no real back. This post is not only based on my experience but also on the latest research out there. Let's work together as health professionals and women to change the current culture out there and show the world that being a mum or being pregnant does not mean you are fragile and broke. It shows just how incredibly strong we as women are. . . . #pregnancy #pregnantpain #pregnancyphysio #pregnancyexercise #fitpregnancy #thirdtrimester #3rdtrimester #30weeks #postpartum #postpartumexercise #fitmum #fitness #strongwomen

Beat Pelvic Pain in Pregnancy I like prescribing exercises that challenge multiple muscle groups around the pelvis within one movement. I believe this more accurately replicates how the pelvic muscles function during our activities of daily living. - Movement like this will help build strength and mobility around the pelvis and hip during pregnancy. Many Physiotherapists and coaches are cautions of prescribing movements like these to their pregnant clients in fear of causing injury. - However if you are a pregnant mum with small children it is high likely you'll end up in a position similar to this one while playing with them on the ground. Therefore isn't it better to practice and strengthen the body in this position within a controlled environment? . . . . #pregnancyexercise #pelvicpain #pregnancyfitness #pregnantlifter #pregnantworkout #iamapregnantathlete

Lets talk! The topic for today is sick leave and pregnant women - Fun! So not the most fun topic but definitely an important one. I want to discuss this from two perspectives. The pregnant women and the employer. Last year during my pregnancy I was able to experience this as a "Pregnant women" and "Employer/Business Owner". As the Pregnant women: There are certain physiological changes that occur during your pregnancy that means you are most definitely going to have days where you feel as if you cannot cope at work and will require to take sick leave; I.e Extreme Fatigue, Insomnia, Nausea, Blood pressure related concerns, Low iron, low sugar levels. You might also be required to take sick leave because of medical appointments. This is also outside of your control. Having an employer that is supportive and understanding of these situations makes a big difference! You don't want to feel like you've let the team down every time you take sick leave! As the Employer: As a business owner I wanted to continue working for as long as possible. In order to do so I had to make sure that above all my health came first. I focused on eating regular nutritious meals, had good sleep hygiene and exercised regularly to keep my body strong and positive! This helped me to stay highly functional for much longer in my pregnancy and prevent me needing to take many unnecessary sick days. This showed me that all my decisions outside of work directly affected my ability to work. Here are some of the controversial statements I have heard over the past year: 1. "I don't want to hire her because she might want to have children in the near future and that will be very hard on a small business to carry" 2. "I wish 'Jane' would look after herself a bit better because then she wouldn't need to take so many sick days" These thoughts and statements directly affect women in business and at work! They can be very harmful to the equality movement that the previous two generations have work so hard to change. However, as a business owner I also see the challenge of employing someone that I might just loose in a couple of months due to maternity leave. As a women and mother I also t

Rib cage in pregnancy can be a real bummer! 😫 Believe me, I know.. I struggled with rib cage pain in both my pregnancies. It something that's not often spoken about, but a lot of women struggle with this! The stretch in this video I found very helpful personally and I know many of my patients also finds this one helpful. So if you are struggling with Ribcage pain and your pregnant give this a go right now!

Lets Talk! The current statistics show between 10-17% of women will experience post-natal depression (PND). There are several factors that increase a women's chance of developing post natal depression, one of them being pelvic girdle pain. This is not the biggest risk factor for developing PND but it is certainly an avoidable complication. Studies have shown that you can increase your risk of developing PND by as much as 3 fold if you experienced pelvic girdle pain during your pregnancy! I am by no means an expert when it comes to PND BUT I am an expert when it comes to pain management and exercise prescription in pregnancy. Because of the role I work in as a women's health physiotherapist I see many women battling with PND. It is very hard to see women go through this! This is why I worked so hard on developing a platform that can help women battle MSK pain during pregnancy and stay feeling strong and confident. This is the type of support we need to work on providing for women in New Zealand! . . . . #pregnancyphysio #pregnantlife #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyworkout #postpartum #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #postpartumbody #triathlon #triathlonmotivation #triathlongirl #fitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitspo #csection #cesareansection #cesarean #labour #labourday

Breastfeeding Kiana, sitting with my Lara while watching my Husband climb some walls, and planning my comeback 😄 - We love our life as a 4 person family now ❤ I would have definitely not been able to be out at the climbing walls 2 weeks post c-section if it wasn't for the level of exercise I maintained throughout my pregnancy! - Mental health is a BIG topic in the postpartum journey. For me in my journey, being able to get out of the house to do what I really love with my family is what helps me manage my mental well being. - As a Physiotherapist my number one priority is to help women achieve what they need to achieve physically to be able to help with their mental well-being. I.e running, walking with the stroller, cleaning the house, getting back into the gym, getting back to work. - So for all the women out there feeling like their body is not allowing them to do what they love. Ask for help! There is help out there and a way to get back to what you love doing.

The Good & Bad of Labour/Surgery Day 👍👎 👍Everyone here are at Tauranga Hospital has been fantastic! The Surgeons, Anesthetist, Nurses, Midwifes! - 👍Once my medication was sorted, my pain was very well managed. I was able to Look after Kiana myself, shower, get my catheter removed. - 👍 Kiana is a strong Breastfeeder! My midwife made a great effort to start the breastfeeding while I was still in theater being stitched which meant a lot to me! @wombmidwifery - 👎 Right before surgery when I was in theater things got overwhelming momentarily with the anticipation of the spinal block & surgery. BUT my overall experience was positive because of the great team I was surrounded by and my supportive husband @darkob263 - 👎 Once in the Maternity unit I experienced much higher pain levels compared to what I remember after surgery with my daughter Lara. This caught me off guard and made me panic a little. The high pain levels was largely due to blood clots that was not being expelled from my uterus. So the repeated pressing from the medical staff on my abdomen was incredibly painful but they did it with the best intentions. Once they didn't need to do that anymore and the medication was adjusted, my mood and pain significantly decreased!! - Overall, The emotion I can use to describe yesterday is gratitude 🙏 For the medical staff, my Hunband, family looking after my daughter Lara and a health baby ❤ . . . #pregnancyphysio #pregnantlife #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyworkout #postpartum #postpartumfitness #postpartumjourney #postpartumbody #triathlon #triathlonmotivation #triathlongirl #fitnessmotivation #fitness #fitnessjourney #fitspo #csection #cesareansection #cesarean #labour #labourday

This photo sums up my pregnancy!!! • 33 weeks pregnant • Hiking a unkept, steep track to our rock climbing location for the day 🧗‍♀️ • Carrying my 2 year old daughter on my shoulder + her snacks • Plus finished my hardest outdoor climb to date (including pre-pregnancy) on lead. I feel like this photo crushes so many stigmas that are out there about pregnant women. We are all capable of SO much more than what people expects of us and what we expect of ourselfs! I am always in awe of what we as women can do and can achieve in all areas of our lives. We are badass and strong 💪 We should continue to remind each other of this and support each other to live our best lives ❤ . . . . #pregnancy #pregnancyphysio #pregnancyexercise #pregnantlife #pregnantclimber #pregnancyworkout #thirdtrimester #33weekspregnant #33weeks #femaleempowerment #femalefitness #fitness #fitnessmotivation
