Middee | Pregnancy, Birth & Postpartum Education
In today’s episode I speak with Lucy Young about not only her motherhood journey but also her passion for supporting women to stay fit and healthy in both pregnancy & postpartum. Lucy is an athlete herself who has always felt a big connection to her body but after her birth didn’t go the way she envisioned she found herself having an emergency c- section. Leaving herself feeling like a failure and a big disconnect with the body she onced loved. As well as a Mum Lucy is a certified pre/postnatal exercise specialist and founder of bumpstrong. Lucy and I dive deep into some of the frequently asked questions about exercising when pregnant or postpartum so you can feel empowered to train safely and effectively while growing your bub and whilst recovering post-birth.
Today’s episode is proudly brought to you by ergoPouch. ErgoPouch have just released their latest product and it is an absolute game changer, a portable white noise machine. The Driftaway is the perfect way for a restful night's sleep. Whether you're someone with a baby, without a baby or even if you’re a shift worker like me the driftaway has made sleeping so much easier. White Noise works as a sleep cue helping you adjust to sleep anywhere at any time. With repeated association to white noise it triggers an association in the brain that its time to sleep but also masks disruptive sounds in the sleep environment which can easily wake us. The really great thing about the Driftaway is that it is portable so can be taken anywhere with you like in the pram, in the car or just in the bedroom with a 48 hour battery life. The driftaway also has 7 calming sounds. 3 sounds for babies which mimic sounds from the womb like white noise shushing & a heartbeat and 4 sounds for adults a Fan, Rain Ocean, & Nature. So if you’re someone like me and really need a good night's sleep to function, be quick to grab your driftaway by ergoPouch.
