I almost didn’t share this one because the full story is a little harder to fit into an Instagram carousel than a simple “don’t lie on your back” rule.

But you deserve more than a blanket rule. You deserve to understand what the research actually tells us.
And the answer is a little more nuanced than you might think.

There are still some grey areas, the research is evolving
and context matters. This includes how far along you are, what exercise you’re doing, how you feel and what your individual health professional recommends.

So have a read through, listen to your own body and take the conversation to your midwife, doctor or other qualified health professional if you’re unsure.

Informed pregnancy exercise isn’t about following a list of rigid rules. It’s about understanding the evidence, knowing your options and making decisions that are right for you. 💜

The waitlist for Term 4 is officially open! 🥳💜

If you’ve been watching from a distance, wondering whether training with someone who understands your body and this season of life is for you, this is the easiest first step.

Joining the waitlist costs you nothing and commits you to nothing - it simply means you’re first in line when spots open and trials are announced.

Spaces are limited each term, and the waitlist is where it all begins.

Term 4 waitlist is now open - link in my bio to join. 💜

If you’ve been pregnant, you’ve probably heard the rule:

“Don’t exercise lying flat on your back after 20 weeks.”

But have you ever been told why?

This week I want to unpack where that advice comes from, because the science is actually more nuanced than a simple hard-and-fast rule.

Here’s the short version.

As your uterus gets heavier, lying flat on your back can put pressure on a large vein called the inferior vena cava, which carries blood back to your heart.

For some women, this can cause symptoms like dizziness, nausea or feeling faint. There is also a theoretical flow-on effect to blood flow to your baby.

So there is a reason the caution exists, and it’s something worth understanding.

What’s interesting is that the evidence behind the blanket “avoid it” advice has never been particularly strong and newer research is looking more closely at whether the advice has been applied too broadly.

Over the next few days, I’m going to talk through both sides.

Why you might choose to follow the advice and why some women may feel comfortable doing certain exercises on their back, with good information and attention to their own body’s signals.

Because pregnancy exercise isn’t about following a list of rules without understanding them.

It’s about having the information to make informed decisions about your own body and your own pregnancy.

Were you ever told why you shouldn’t exercise on your back after 20 weeks, or were you just given the rule?

Today brings two really important reminders together.

It’s the “To Breathe” theme of Women’s Health Week, focusing on our mental wellbeing and it’s also R U OK? Day.

So I want to check in with you. How are you, actually?

Not the “Yep, all good!” you give while trying to get everyone out the door. The answer you might give if you actually had the space to stop and think about it.

Because motherhood can fill every corner of your life. There’s always someone needing something, something to remember, organise or worry about, and it can be very easy to lose track of how you’re doing.

You can be functioning, showing up and keeping everything moving while quietly feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, lonely or like you’re barely keeping your head above water.

You don’t have to be falling apart for it to be worth talking about.

If your answer today is, “Actually, I’m not doing that well,” please tell someone. Your partner, your friend, your GP, someone you trust. You’re allowed to be the one who needs checking in on too.

And if you’re doing okay, maybe check in with a mum in your life today. Ask her how she’s really going and give her the space to answer.

As always, if you’re having a hard time my door & inbox are open. You don’t need to have the “right” words. 💜

“Do it anyway” might be my favourite thing about this whole week. Because I think we can make movement way more complicated than it needs to be.

You don’t have to have a perfect week of workouts. You don’t have to make up for the ones you missed. And you definitely don’t need to wait until you have a big chunk of time to do something.

Maybe you get 10 minutes. Maybe you go for a walk.
Maybe you manage two strength sessions this week when you normally aim for three.

Cool. Keep moving.

The goal isn’t to nail your routine every single week. It’s to have a way of moving that actually fits into your life including the weeks when everything goes a bit sideways.

Do it anyway. Just make it work for the week you’re actually having. 💜

It’s Women’s Health Week 💜

And this year’s theme is one I really want mums to hold onto: DO IT ANYWAY.

The walk you nearly talked yourself out of.
The glass of water you forgot about.
The 10 minutes of movement you didn’t think were worth it.

Do it anyway.

Because looking after yourself doesn’t have to be perfect. The small things add up.

Today we’re talking fuelling. Something that’s easy to put last when you’re busy making sure everyone else has eaten.

But you need food and energy too, Mum. 💜

This week we’ll move through fuelling, movement, rest, mental wellbeing and connection, with simple reminders to prioritise yourself too.

So stick around & join me.

Last weekend at Mumsafe Mooloolaba 2026…
Learning. Connecting. Planning. Celebrating.

It takes a lot to make this happen for myself and my business.

The lead-up is chaotic and mum-guilt throws a fair few digs at me while I’m gone. But I always come back lighter, with a bit more capacity to tackle challenges and some new ideas to roll with.

That’s why it’s become part of my yearly plan. I have zero regrets and I’m super grateful for my family and clients who support me in making it happen, even when it feels hard.

Because sometimes stepping away from the everyday is exactly what I need to come back to it with a little more perspective, energy and clarity.

One of the questions I get ALL the time from pregnant mums is:

“Am I actually supposed to wind everything right back now?”

Nope. Not necessarily.

Pregnancy doesn’t mean throwing everything you’ve been doing out the window and starting again from scratch.

For most women, it’s about keeping the foundations and layering in a few specialist adjustments as pregnancy progresses.

Because the research and guidelines are pretty clear: exercise during pregnancy is a good thing. It can support your physical health, mental wellbeing, strength and preparation for the demands of motherhood.

The tricky bit is knowing what that looks like for you, at your stage of pregnancy, with your history and how you’re actually feeling.

So save this one, send it to your pregnant mate who’s wondering if she needs to suddenly stop everything… and if you want help figuring out what applies to you, reach out. 💜
