Would you run a marathon without training for it? Labor has been compared to running 6 back-to-back marathons, yet there is no training program available - until now.
The Prepare to Push™ program applies the fitness principle of specificity to labor and birth prep. During labor, you will be using muscles that you never had to work in this way before. By training these muscles, you will have a smoother labor and expedite your recovery during the postpartum period.
Prepare To Push™ gives you the essential information about your pelvic floor and abdomen in birth AND recovery.
Birth is likened to running six back-to-back marathons. Preparing the body can alleviate discomfort and improve recovery. .
Incontinence during pregnancy is not inevitable; it’s treatable with the right training.
Kegels alone are insufficient. The pelvic floor and core need to work together dynamically to handle everyday activities.
Many of these discomforts and prolonged issues of pregnancy and postpartum are not addressed until it is too late. Mummy tummy aka diastasis recti, pelvic girdle pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), hemorrhoids, urinary or rectal incontinence, and prolapse are many of the conditions that can cause pain or altered lifestyle during and after pregnancy. All of these conditions have one thing in common - the core (the pelvic floor is part of the core!). However, when the pelvic floor and core wellness are a focus of pregnancy and postpartum, the risk of suffering from any of these discomforts is reduced. This allows for a more comfortable and confident pregnancy and postpartum period.
For some moms, these issues last for years, research shows that if someone suffers from incontinence at 12 weeks postpartum, 92% will still be dealing with it 5 years later. This means that parenting a 5-year-old who wants to run and jump and play and wants you to run and jump and play with them, is going to be a lot more difficult. Caring for your core and floor during pregnancy and postpartum can help you be the mom you want to be for your 5-year-old and every age!

This is a myth that has been perpetuated for years! But there is zero validity to this! Even though incontinence is very common during pregnancy and beyond, it is not normal! It is treatable and you can improve your chances greatly of not even developing it by focusing on building strength and flexibility in the core and floor during pregnancy!
Unfortunately, no. Kegels are usually taught as a static exercise, which means they would be great if all we did all day, every day, was hang out in the same place and position as we are when we do our Kegels. But that isn’t how we live life, especially as parents! We are lifting, we are moving, we are active, so our pelvic floor and core need to be strong and flexible to handle those situations. So just Kegels aren’t typically going to be enough. All of the supportive muscles need to be able to work together, therefor they must be trained to work together. (Most people aren’t doing Kegels correctly anyway)
AND your pelvic floor and core muscles need to be flexible as well, and static Kegels don’t help with that. If they aren’t flexible, they can’t handle the pressure from sneezes, laughs, and jumps!
You will learn about the key players in the core and floor, some of the supporting players in core and floor function, and how they affect your everyday life, pregnant or not. You will also learn how they affect your pelvic stability, internally and externally, during pregnancy. You will learn how to help these key players shine in their roles during birth, and how to recruit these muscles to work and to be flexible for pushing! And finally how to prepare for a recovery that will support your body to heal so you can be your strongest self as a mother.
