Pregnancy Exercise

It's Friday Fun with the #Minions ;-) #parenthood #Motherhood #whoslaughingnow @MinionsQuotes

The F’ing 4’s… I heard about this term, which is the year between 4 and 5 with my first, and sure enough they can live up to their expectations! Some days I am quite glad we are in a new neighbourhood ;-) Yesterday I decided to take all the girls shopping after school as soon as I mentioned this Miss 4YO started to go on about getting a toy – another dam Paw patrol truck. Anyway she has to learn that each time we go out to the shops it doesn’t indicate that she will get a $25 toy! I said we would go to the $2 shop and see if they had anything in there. After a rather large shop in farmers I sat them down for a sushi snack and then if they were good they could get a water/juice in the supermarket. Beau started asking about the toy again. "Beau Mum is not buying you a paw patrol truck today ok," well if looks could kill… Down the escalator with 4 large bags and 3 kids she spots the Stationary shop, which of course has the toys she want. I’m going in I have $1, I will buy my own toy. Of course they are the fist things she sees. I’ve tried many distractions (I know how it works now) and nothing was working and I really had to get to the supermarket as we had zero in for dinner. I got her out of the shop and the rest of us tried to coax her to enjoy a $1 ride in a helicopter, which she normally loves. Then OMG the F’in 4's in all their glory came out, her screams were loud enough that all the shopkeepers came out, her sisters were mortified and quickly made out that they weren’t with her or with me! I’ve got 4 full bags of shopping, the screams and tears got worse and now every single bystander in the mall was watching me try to decipher the tantrum and negotiate with what looks like a devil child! ;-) No luck, we had to get her out, so with NO dinner I had to get the older two to carry the bags and rugby hold her out of the mall, full on screaming, punching and wait for it trying to bite me. OMG the stares, I've been in this situation once or twice before with the middle one so It doesn't really worry me. I'm not going to be wracked with guilt for the next few days that I'm a bad parent, been there, done that! Continued in comments...

WOW, well done Dinushi 😊 "I just completed the Birth2fitmum program!!! I am now 20 weeks pp with bub #2 and my diastatis has gone from 5 finger width to less than one finger in width! I did each program for 3 weeks and kept up with my walks. The cardio videos were so useful whenever I couldn't get out. I absolutely loved doing the program and this is the fittest I've been after I had my babies 😊 Thank you so so so much for creating these programs Lorraine 😊 So what can I do next? Can I start SuperFitMum?."

Up on the Blog Today 💻📰 Is Pain After Birth Something We Should Just Accept?! This is a fantastic article by Gemma 😊 We shouldn't have to put up with the lack of care from professionals we often trust. "The stats are pretty frightening. The article quotes one study of more than 1200 women, which found 24% were still experiencing pain during sex 18 months after having a baby. Another study of 1500 mothers found that 77% are still have back pain a year after giving birth and a massive 49% had urinary incontinence. And it doesn’t matter if you had a vaginal birth or a c-section, the, a study of 1,115 women found similar levels of issues, regardless of how the baby was delivered."

Stocking up on Avos for the week whilst they are on special.😊 #Avocados are a pre and postnatal essential nutrient, they are definitely a #superfood. Unfortunately they are often hard to source or can be very expensive. If you can't get hold of them you can buy frozen in some countries or you may have to use nuts as an alternative. Enjoy avocados in breakfast smoothies as a dip for a snack in the afternoon or in a Chocolate mouse dessert. #superfoodformums #fitmumsfood #nutrition

Friday Pregnancy Fun! 😉😂 #butterfly #pregnant #3rdtrimester #fun

There are many reasons why I wanted to set up my own studio. One of them was that I wanted to create a safe environment where mums could feel comfortable bringing their newborn babies and pre-schoolers.💜 Little Coby is just 4 months and sat quietly the whole time, trying to blow raspberries and listening to our water fountain. Meanwhile mum could concentrate fully and learnt how to correctly connect with her core muscles once again. Having a safe and fun place to keep babies and kids occupied helps mums get the most of their personal consults with me. Knowing that you can feed and even change baby helps with the travels and also goes a long way in helping mum recover optimally post pregnancy and childbirth. #fitmumstudio #Fitpregnancy #PregnancyExercise #postpartumbody #trainingsupermums #Postnatal #DiastasisRecti #activemums (at Manly, New Zealand)

Up on the blog Today 💻📰 Should We Be Informed About the Risk of Childbirth? "I read an absolutely fascinating article on New Scientist this week, about how doctors in the UK are considering offering pregnant women official advice about the risks of vaginal birth in the same way they do for c-sections. This came after a landmark Supreme Court case, which awarded damages for a baby who sustained brain damage during a vaginal birth. The judge found that the doctors didn’t warn the mother of her increased risk factors due to her small pelvis and diabetes, an act that was described as “medical paternalism”. This has led to a massive debate around how women going into childbirth should be informed. It’s a touchy subject, obviously, with proponents of natural birth finding the idea somewhat extreme, raising concerns that it will lead to an increase in women seeking elective c-sections. But I find it hard to swallow that argument. Surely everybody has a right to be fully informed about any process they’re going to go through. And to me, labour seems like one it’s particularly important to be informed about."
