Episode Synopsis

Trimester 1: Teaching Fitness While Growing a Tiny HumanWhat really happens when a fitness instructor finds out she's pregnant… and still has to get up, show up and teach?In this raw and very real episode, I’m taking you behind the scenes of my first trimester. From the total shock of that positive test (on the morning of our 5-year Lorna's Online Squad party!!), to navigating nausea, sore boobs, bloating and a whole load of emotions I wasn’t expecting.I share how I kept teaching, what I changed in my workouts (and what I didn’t), how I felt about my body and the surprising symptoms that hit me hardest. But more than that, I talk honestly about the emotional ups and downs – the excitement, the fear, the guilt, the love – and how I managed it all.If you’re pregnant, trying to be, thinking about it one day, or just want to know what really goes on behind the smile of a fit pro in early pregnancy, this is for you.Love,LornaCEO of Lorna Marie Fitness: www.lornamariefitness.co.ukCreator of YogaScape®: www.yogascape.co.uk
