In this episode, I’m diving into a topic that comes up all too often — bladder leaks during pregnancy. You might’ve heard bladder leaks are 'normal' during pregnancy, but I’m here to challenge that idea. Just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s something you have to put up with.

In this short episode, I walk you through what’s really going on with your pelvic floor during pregnancy, why leaks happen, and most importantly - what you can do about it.

Here’s what I cover:

• Why bladder leaks might be common, but they’re not something to ignore
• What actually happens to your pelvic floor during pregnancy and birth
• The impact of hormones, posture, and physical changes on your pelvic health
• Why early signs like leaking when sneezing or exercising matter
• What you can do right now:
  • Understanding how to understand your pelvic health
  • The importance of diaphragmatic breathing
  • How to modify movement and exercise safely
  • When to seek help from a pelvic floor physio
• Why keeping active during pregnancy can support better postnatal recovery
• How my FitNest Mama app can help you feel strong and supported — anytime, anywhere
