In this episode of The Birth Tide podcast, I share with you the benefits of exercising during pregnancy, because pregnancy is not an excuse to let everything go, lay around, and eat whatever you want... unless you are still dealing with morning sickness :).

I'll show you how you can easily start (even if you haven't been working out), I share with you the advantages of staying active, recommend safe exercises for each trimester, and offer guidance on modifying fitness routines as pregnancy progresses.

• Second Trimester: 10-min 2nd Trimester Pregnancy Stretch + Mobility
• Third Trimester: 10-min 3rd Trimester Pregnancy Stretch + Mobility
