In this episode of the MamasteFit Podcast, Tina shares her transformative experiences of her three births. Tina's first two births were unmedicated and hospital-based, which she initially perceived as traumatic. However, after an unexpected Cesarean during her third birth, she found a newfound appreciation for her earlier experiences. Tina emphasizes the vital role of prenatal fitness in healing postpartum, sharing how staying active during her third pregnancy helped significantly with her Cesarean recovery. Hosts Gina, a perinatal fitness trainer and birth doula, and Roxanne, a labor and delivery nurse and student midwife, explore how prenatal fitness not only enhances pregnancy comfort and birth preparation but also facilitates postpartum recovery. Tina's story highlights the importance of mental and physical preparation for an empowering pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journey.
