If you’ve ever been told to “just do your Kegels” to prep for birth, I want you to pause right there — because what if I told you that Kegels might actually make your birth harder? Yep, you heard me. The same exercise that’s supposed to help your pelvic floor could actually be working against you.

In this episode we’re breaking down:

  • The truth about Kegels and why they’re not always what you want when you’re prepping for birth.
  • What your pelvic floor really needs before birth (hint: it’s not tightening all the time).
  • What to do instead so that you can have an easier, smoother, more confident birth experience.
  • A quick 2-minute daily exercise you can start right now that works way better than Kegels to get your body truly ready for birth.

If this episode got you thinking, “Why didn’t anyone tell me this sooner?” — you’re exactly who I created the Bump To Bundle Blueprint for. Inside the course: step-by-step guidance to prepare for labor, birth and postpartum with the confidence you deserve.
