My top three recommendations for a smoother pregnancy, birth, and postpartum: First, stay active. Whether you’re doing prenatal fitness or joining a yoga class, any movement counts, and the physical, mental, and emotional benefits are worth every minute. Second, educate yourself. Yes, the amount of information out there can feel overwhelming, but reading and taking classes will help you feel confident and ready to make informed decisions when they come your way. And last but definitely not least, find your village. You might be surprised by how many lifelong friendships start in prenatal and postnatal yoga. It’s amazing to have a community going through the same highs, lows, and all the wonderfully honest TMI moments right along with you.
