I am constantly hearing "don't go to the gym, don't go for a run" from people since being pregnant. It's driving me mad, these are people who don't even exercise! I cannot believe the stigma behind exercise and pregnancy. How often do you see pregnant people in the gym or even swimming. This link is an article I just read and felt so happy to see. I know what I'm doing is the right thing for me and my baby.

I feel there should be more to offer out there for the active mum and mum to be. I am fortunate that I have P.T s within my gym that have done pre and post pregnancy exercise. But most of the knowledge is text book, so the experience has been positive on both parts. I can do various exercises, explain how it feels, what doesn't feel right and suggest alternatives that aim for the same impact. Together we have managed to come up with various programs that suit each trimester.
