Thanks for watching! I remember trying to get into and out of bed when I was pregnant and it was hard work! Once I learn the log roll it made all the difference! Which thing are you going to tweak? Don't forget to check out our new channel Prenatal Exercise by Brightest Beginning (youtube.com/@PrenatalExercisebyBB?si=O9uIxka3X2dDQJ9y).
Yes! 🌟Exercise and moving properly during pregnancy is crucial. Postpartum exercise that focuses on the core and pelvic floor while also addressing issues related to diastasis is also super necessary. Sounds like a great program.
33 weeks here and the roll to get out of bed usually works (have to work around my giant pregnancy pillow as well, it dows its job a little too well!), love the tips for picking up your toddler! Thank you!
Meghan is awesome! I follow her channel closely and do all her workouts. I love the way she explains stuff and her workouts feel really good. Also she's the only one I've found so far who includes all sorts of exercises - not just one type for stretching/strengthening, but also e.g. cardio. I'm so grateful for what she does.
I had been having some back pain as I got bigger in these last 2-3 weeks. The other day I coughed and I felt a sharp pain and then two days later I had to call an ambulance because I couldn’t move or get out of bed due to severe spasms that were so sharp. This was Extremely painful and made it hard to get a good breath, turns out I guess I sprained something in my back in the left side. Never had this issue before in my previous pregnancies. This pregnancy has been such a rollercoaster for me, now I need to bed rest 😢 also go prescribed some pain meds. I don’t like taking them but the pain is bad
I’d love if this became a series to address specifically mentioned issues from the comments. My biggest one is static standing while cooking/doing dishes/waiting in line, etc. I’ve been standing with one leg elevated on a stool (or the cart if we’re at a store) but as my belly gets bigger, I experience so much discomfort and dizziness while standing for long-ish durations of time.
I learned the leg roll from my chiropractor. It definitely made a difference, would have been nice to know how to hold my toddler when i was pregnant though, he was 14kg in my 3rd trimester and still in a cot. Wasnt fun trying to pick him up haha.
That would have been very challenging! Our 3 year old boy was 18 kg when my 3rd child was born and it was tough carrying him. I would only be able to carry him for a few minutes and then he would be happy to hold my hand and walk. It's tough though!
Thank you Emma for these important information😊. Can I ask about sleeping positions during pregnancy? I only know I cant sleep on the back. Thank you ❤
Thank you for bringing awareness about this topic Emma! Not a lot of people know how to properly protect their pelvic floor and core in pregnancy. The technique Meghan showed to get in and out of bed can also be used postpartum (especially after a C-section). Great video!
Thank you. This definitely helped. I am in my 2nd month but u explaining the risks for later in the weeks makes me very greatful. And honestly i just tried these changes and it feels so comfortable and better already. You have my gratitude
I’m 9 weeks pregnant with baby #2, and for a few weeks, I already notice I can get slightly blacked out vision for a second a bit after getting up. I definitely have been getting up more slowly, but it often still happens. So tired and can’t wait to get out of the first trimester!
That happens to me a lot too and is definitely exacerbated by pregnancy. Supplementing electrolytes seems to help, as well as flexing my stomach when I stand up to help maintain adequate blood flow to my head.
Glad I found this video :) I’m 8 weeks and have been taking movements slower so as to reduce discomfort in every day life. I’ll be more cautious and use these tips from here on out. Thanks ladies!!!
I am 6 month pregnant I don't know how to sit on bed and sleep in pregananct time I always take left position to sleep Well Thank you Emma mam your videos really me in motherhood journey.
Ill have to ask my doctor about the the getting into and out of bed and about the sitting position due to being short and these wont work for my height. my height is 4 feet and 7 inches and most of the furniture i have and are sold in stores are to tall for me.
What women go through 😯....before the pregnancy the painful cramped up periods that could be heavier flow than others , grosse, stinky and last up to 7 days for some ...than to becoming pregnant with different kinds of hormones and crazy symptoms through painful contractions and pushing out the baby phew!!!😞😯...men really need to show the best support and treat women with respect and be there for them which helps a lot because we want to feel important and valued for all we have to go through...😮
Super helpful video, thank you for this! I'm 26 weeks pregnant and needed the tips on how to pick up my toddler, which is getting harder and harder these days!
Sitting here upright trying hard to resists the desire to cross my legs cuz my midwife has me training my body for an open, flexible pelvic floor. Much of what you share here is on my homework list.
I'm at my last few days of pregnancy and my little boy done something very strange today, inside of my belly. He stretched in such awkward position, his feet got stuck under my left rib cage and showed in my back side. 🤯😅
super.! As mom we take care of everything..but where is role of dad? i went through a c- sec and everyone in home (joint family) is lyk u can work normal and has forgotten the pain I underwent
Super helpful! I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and I already feel like a cramp in the pelvis if I stand up from the bed like I used to. Thanks for this video!! ❤
Any tips for going from laying or sitting on the floor to standing and then the opposite? I live in a 'floor culture' country so we don't have any chairs or raised furniture in our house, so I'm getting off the floor constantly. For now a modified asian squat has been my go-to (I'm 20 weeks) but after watching this that seems like the worst possible position
Get something to push off using your upper body such as a stool or box. You can sit near something you can pull your self up with. Maybe just get a chair to use for third trimester.
Hello, your situation is a bit different as your body is well adapted to the Asian Squat. This means you have great mobility in your hips/pelvis and stability in your lower back. In the Western culture we sit too much in chairs where our back and core muscles don’t have to do any work. The best option for you would be to use a yoga block to support your pelvic floor in your Asian squat and make sure you exhale when you stand up. When transferring from laying down make your way onto all four’s and push back with your hands into your half squat position and stand up.
Im worried my job is honna hurt my baby, i have to stand for 8 hours, and I'm always dragging racks full of clothes, so i dont know how to protect my back and pelvic floor
I had to lift heavy items like up to 15 kgs for 30 weeks of my pregnancy and standing also for 8h on my feet. Wasn't easy but I managed to make it trough
I got diagnosed with complete placenta previa at 20 weeks, is there anything you recommend/dont recommend besides no sexual activity? Ob hasn’t really said much. Thank you
Oh I'm having a hard time getting out of bed. Big time in 5 months. I usually just put my legs on the floor and then get somebody to pull me up LOL😂 Oh my God picking things up. Hell no, that's difficult and painful
Perfect timing! I’m almost in my third trimester and also has a young toddler. Thank you as always!! I also just want to point out how calm your baby is!! 😂❤ mine doesn’t stop moving around lol
Lifting both legs up during getting in and out of bed is even more difficult for me. It causes pain in my lower back. So instead I try to gently sit with moving one leg at a time real slowly. So I guess this doesnt work for everyone.
Thought you can’t lay on your back after 10 weeks pregnant and on cause lying on your back may compress a major blood vessel that takes blood to your uterus, making you feel dizzy and possibly reducing blood flow to your fetus.
@@tjet34 I get super dizzy even after a few seconds of rolling on my side to the other side and my doctor told me you shouldn’t be laying on your back regardless on how many minutes cause of the baby compresses on a major blood vessel nice talking to you so have a good day bye bye
Keeping right posture, of course is important, but it can be a challenge for a lot of people, even if you are not pregnant. Focusing a lot of effort on keeping right posture during pregnancy can give much stress and worry that you are doing something wrong. To learn to keep right posture during pregnancy is even more difficult because of hormones. To my mind it just important to change position, avoiding freezing in one, and listen to your body first, it will give good advise and feedback.
Hopefully if you decide to have another bub it will come in handy. The tip about the pram and picking your little bub up though is still important to try and adopt now.
I had that problem too! I found that I ended up using my bump as a bit of a cushion for my 3 year old boy (18kg at the time) to sit on. But generally I just tried to limit the amount I carried him and did lots of cuddles on the couch if he needed me.
I have a two year old on top of my 38w twin belly lol I stretch one of her legs at the very top of my belly (right at the top ribs) or I hold both her legs to one side if the belly so her legs are together while I'm holding her. Hope that helps!
I’m 26 weeks with #2 and it feels like I’m slowly remembering a lot of these things. It really is crazy how much we forget! It just feels so good to lay back reclined in bed at the end of the day. A birth ball isn’t as fun 😂
I am 7 month pregnant with 17 month toddler and he is nonstopable what can be done these days he refuses every single food I did check up all is normal doctor says to baby … what can be done

Hey Emma, the exercise channel link does not work. Does it still exist?

That stroller handle tip is awesome - just walked my daughter to daycare and it felt completely different
I just started having this horrible pelvic pain. This video is helping me to realize I’ve been doing a lot of things wrong! Thanks for the video!
Glad it helped!

It's my pleasure!
Best of luck
I am 21 weeks with my first child. I have been struggling with sciatica pain for a few weeks now and this video has definitely helped! 😊
Thank you! I am 32 weeks pregnant and it has become somewhat challenging to find comfortable positions
Right, be comfortable for yourself don’t listen to this garbage

Love this workout, thanks a lot! Ended super sweaty and feeling like I can go for another one at 37 weeks!
Thanks! However it would help if you had a sign that said “DON’T” for the poses you’re NOT supposed to do because it’s a little unclear :/

Your tips on preparing for labor are so reassuring. I feel much more confident after watching this video. Can’t wait to see more content like this!

Hopefully it flies for you. If you are concerned about your black outs make sure you check in with your doctor. ❤️
That happens to me a lot too and is definitely exacerbated by pregnancy. Supplementing electrolytes seems to help, as well as flexing my stomach when I stand up to help maintain adequate blood flow to my head.
Check out hemoglobin hope you are getting better and ask your doctor too
We’re on the same boat girl..1st pregnancy was definitely nothing compared to this 2nd one😢
This happened to me with my first pregnancy plus dizziness and nausea. I later found out it was twins 😅
Glad I found this video :) I’m 8 weeks and have been taking movements slower so as to reduce discomfort in every day life. I’ll be more cautious and use these tips from here on out. Thanks ladies!!!
Congratulations on your pregnancy. Hopefully, you're feeling well and everything is going well!
I really needed this. In my second pregnancy with a big baby and a toddler who always wants "up!". Literally hobbling around at this point (23 weeks)
I am 6 month pregnant I don't know how to sit on bed and sleep in pregananct time I always take left position to sleep Well Thank you Emma mam your videos really me in motherhood journey.
This was so helpful being 14 weeks pregnant
How would you switch sides while laying down.
This video is so great! Thank you for sharing it!
This just got recommended, perfect timing, 22 weeks pregnant. Thank you!
No worries at all. Hope it is helpful!
Thank you pls make a video for recovery after natural or c s birth im

What do I do if I suspect my abdominal muscles have already separated?
Ill have to ask my doctor about the the getting into and out of bed and about the sitting position due to being short and these wont work for my height. my height is 4 feet and 7 inches and most of the furniture i have and are sold in stores are to tall for me.

This is useful for every pregnant ❤
Thank you!
I get concerned reading and hearing about straight spines. My posture is already shot because I have scoliosis. But I want to try my best.
Sitting here upright trying hard to resists the desire to cross my legs cuz my midwife has me training my body for an open, flexible pelvic floor. Much of what you share here is on my homework list.
Definitely going to the exercise channel thank you!!
Boy I didn't know how hard it is to get pregnant. But it is a beautiful way to be alive.❤❤❤
I'm at my last few days of pregnancy and my little boy done something very strange today, inside of my belly.
He stretched in such awkward position, his feet got stuck under my left rib cage and showed in my back side. 🤯😅
😮😮
I was depressed for a long time, and I looked so useless and bad. This music helps me relieve fatigue and stress
What music
super.! As mom we take care of everything..but where is role of dad? i went through a c- sec and everyone in home (joint family) is lyk u can work normal and has forgotten the pain I underwent
Congrats on new channel! Please make exercise video for avoiding carpal tunnel for new moms. Also postpartum stretches for new mom
What new channel?
@@Hunterbunter69they announced it at the end of the video :)
Super helpful! I'm 10 weeks pregnant, and I already feel like a cramp in the pelvis if I stand up from the bed like I used to. Thanks for this video!! ❤
18 weeks with my 2nd - this came out just in time 😊
So glad this came out at the right time for you! Hopefully this pregnancy is going smoothly.
Hi ,

No problem!
I’m 22 weeks thanks for this ❤
ITS UNNECESSARY AND RIDICULOUS
@@LorelleJustice how is that my business if you find it unnecessary and ridiculous? 😂😂😂Focus on your body

Your employer should definitely make adjustments and your working load easier if you feel it's too much x
Try a belly band
I got diagnosed with complete placenta previa at 20 weeks, is there anything you recommend/dont recommend besides no sexual activity? Ob hasn’t really said much. Thank you
Pray!that what helped me ,I had similar issue as you at 9 weeks pregnancy
We have a bed that is on the floor. What is the best way to get up and lay down?
I love this!
Oh I'm having a hard time getting out of bed. Big time in 5 months. I usually just put my legs on the floor and then get somebody to pull me up LOL😂 Oh my God picking things up. Hell no, that's difficult and painful
Me too...I am also in my 5th month n sleeping has already become harder for me😢
My 18th week pregnancy goin on so when should I start doin workout for normal delivery. It’s my 1st baby.
At how many weeks in pregnancy do one start to monitor how to get out of bed 🛌?
Never too early to take care of your back dear
What is the maximum weight a woman in her third trimester can carry?
Hey I like your video. I have a question. I have a bedsidecrib next to me. How do I get in bed the best way? We can’t move the bed
Does sitting for long time can cause edema Or signs of hydrops in baby?
Perfect timing! I’m almost in my third trimester and also has a young toddler. Thank you as always!!
I also just want to point out how calm your baby is!! 😂❤ mine doesn’t stop moving around lol
😂 She has just learnt to crawl, so she is into everything and not so calm anymore 🤣 She has also become a lot more vocal!
Lifting both legs up during getting in and out of bed is even more difficult for me. It causes pain in my lower back. So instead I try to gently sit with moving one leg at a time real slowly. So I guess this doesnt work for everyone.
And how I can sit in the sofa when I wanna watch a movie ..??

You aren't supposed to stay on your back for long periods, like for sleeping, but a minute or two to roll over isn't going to hurt anything.

They make you lie on your back during ultrasounds, fundus measurements and even to give birth.
Even your doctor and ultrasound tech will have you lay flat for exams for limited periods of time
@@bashlea yep, I just had a growth ultrasound yesterday. The tech asked every 5 minutes or so if I was good or if I needed to roll onto my side.
im here to learned.im 6 months pregnant now❤
Congratulations!
Good morning,am four weeks gone am having a horrible burning pain down my abdomen, please what do i do?
Hi, I’m sorry to hear you’re experiencing this. You need to see a doctor who can do a proper assessment
All of this would be so perfect if I didn't have excrutiating hip/sciatic pain and stiff knees 😅
Me too! Sciatica is kicking my butt right now. And hips, I feel you pain ❤

sometimes long pillows help
How can I lift if I have weak knees? I can't even get myself up with nothing in my hands without having to use my hands to get up
I wish I would have known this last yr when I was pregnant.
Hopefully if you decide to have another bub it will come in handy. The tip about the pram and picking your little bub up though is still important to try and adopt now.
Am 49yrs and I feel like am pregnant cz my last period was on January
I'd bet you're hitting menopause at your age rather than pregnancy
I’m 30w with #3 and if I squat all the way down to pick my older kids up or anything else up I can’t stand up 🥲
Fantastic ❤
Thanks 🤗
Lord God I hope my bb is girl❤❤❤
thought you arent supposed to lay on your back to sleep and to avoid as much as possible???
I have the same question
Not flat
Left side
@@bnj1405nope. Laying on your back reduces blood supply to the baby. Lay on your left side
@@Lindamorenaleft side is safest
I get my groceries delivered these days haha
Beautiful
I m 7 months and the doctor is saying the child is not in the right position,, what can I do
Try birthing/yoga ball techniques & videos!
Go in chat gpt in Google and ask him. He is a very smart ai
I hope you a Happy pregnancy mamma❤
Try asking chat gpt in Google 😂
I wish I knew this sooner
Hopefully it is still a bit helpful or even helpful in the future!
Ok but she has a small bump and a small baby. I still don't know how to hold my 3yo on top of my 8months belly XD
I had that problem too! I found that I ended up using my bump as a bit of a cushion for my 3 year old boy (18kg at the time) to sit on. But generally I just tried to limit the amount I carried him and did lots of cuddles on the couch if he needed me.
I have a two year old on top of my 38w twin belly lol
I stretch one of her legs at the very top of my belly (right at the top ribs) or I hold both her legs to one side if the belly so her legs are together while I'm holding her. Hope that helps!
I wonder why others were doing before the internet time I think they just figured out what works for them
I think that and also just asked those around them - like family and friends.
I pick everything up with my feet including my toddler
I’m 26 weeks with #2 and it feels like I’m slowly remembering a lot of these things. It really is crazy how much we forget!
It just feels so good to lay back reclined in bed at the end of the day. A birth ball isn’t as fun 😂

Pram is another word for stroller used in Australia (where the people in this video are from).
❤❤❤
And baby at the back? As for other cultural habits?
That's why I feel worse when I sit in that posture
I shouldn't lay on my back ok
