Although every woman and every pregnancy is unique, there is much that the Fitness Professional must be aware of to confidently create fitness programs for their pregnant clients and their individual needs.
Recently, there have been several changes in what pregnant women should and should not do. This training brings you all the latest research, understandings and guidelines to ensure best outcomes for you and your client.
Being postnatal refers to the period 6-10 weeks postbirth and is often called the fourth trimester. However, women are postnatal until they are
a) pregnant again, or
b) menopausal. The issues that arise for many women, such as incontinence and DRAM don’t magically disappear on that 6-week date… so nor should fitness programming return to how the postnatal women were trained pre-pregnancy.
