It has been shown, from the ACOG, that women who exercise during their pregnancy have a decrease in gestational diabetes, caesarean birth and a decrease in postpartum recovery time.
Physical activity can also have many mental and emotional benefits, including the reduction of mood disorders.
Since pregnancy can be a time of unknown and experiencing a lot of “firsts” it can be challenging to wade through all of the information, separating fact from fiction, and understanding where to find reputable information. This is where we are here to help!
Our Founder, Amanda DeGrace, has been involved in the health and wellness field for over 20 years now and works closely with many organizations and healthcare providers in the perinatal
field. We help you separate fact from fiction and for those who would like to dive into their own research we can help share reputable sites and organizations to connect in with.
