    Support, Strength & Pregnancy During Cancer

    Welcome to Pregnant & Strong - this podcast aims to help more people feel mentally and physically strong in pregnancy.  From myth busting, to conversations with experts - all mums themselves, to practical tips and sharing of research - the aim of each episode is to leave you feeling motivated and most importantly, empowered to move more during your pregnancy. This chat spans a wealth of topics - from receiving a cancer diagnosis during pregnancy and how people go about navigating this, to changing the landscape for health care professionals caring for pregnant people with a cancer diagnosis, to fitness in pregnancy, and even menopause.  We touch on many sensitive issues, such as cancer and baby loss, and so this episode must come with a trigger warning. If you feel this is not the right time to listen to this episode, then please skip it and come back to it later if you like.  What I would say about this chat is, despite the sensitive nature and Pete’s own story loss that sparked him founding the charity Mummys Star, as with all my chats with Pete - this one is uplifting, inspirational and comforting in so many ways - he sheds light on sensitive topics and is the epitome of someone using a situation of personal tragedy and loss to build something incredible and change many people’s lives.  Pete’s recommendations to take away this week were: Accounts to follow: Radchat - a podcast that demystifies many things around cancer, shares the human aspect of cancer and the stories of lots of different people - both personal experiences and healthcare professionals and is a wealth of knowledge in the cancer space. Don’t forget to drop your comments wherever you listen to your podcasts, share with others, and spread the word. You can find me on Instagram @strongwithionamumby You can find Pete on Instagram through Mummys Star or his own personal account and the Mummy’s Star website, where you can find more about the work Pete and the team do, as well as additional resources and support should you need this.

    You Don’t Have to Be an Athlete to Train for Pregnancy

This chat was enlightening, uplifting, and eye-opening, and I know it will bring support and practical advice to so many people who are both pregnant and postpartum.  We covered everything from core and pelvic floor training and how this fits into the fitness landscape, how to access support if you are experiencing symptoms both pre and postpartum and some amazing insights, tips, and advice around the importance of movement in our overallhealth during pregnancy and postpartum, as well as how to get started safely.  We hope you enjoy this chat - and that we have brought some humour and fun to a subject that can very often be taboo and not spoken about. Aby’s recommendations to take away this week were: Accounts to follow: Midwife Pip Dr Christina Prevett  Hatch Athletic  Don’t forget to drop your comments wherever you listen to your podcasts, share with others, and spread the word.
