Episode Synopsis

When the sickness finally eases off, the bump starts to show and you’re still teaching classes, running a business and figuring out pregnancy one week at a time - what does that really look like?In this episode, I’m opening up about my second trimester.The good parts, the tougher parts and everything in between. Around weeks 15–16, I felt that burst of energy people talk about. Then came the excitement (and nerves) of the 16 and 2 week scans. At the same time, I had to adjust in real ways: saying goodbye to my running training, swapping high-impact sessions for more strength and cycling and learning to rest with the help of extra breaks and extra pillows!I’ll share how I managed teaching, training and running a business whilst my body was changing every week. That includes the shifts I made to my workouts, the symptoms that caught me off guard and the mindset changes that came with things like looser ligaments and feeling out of breath faster than I expected.Whether you’re pregnant, thinking about pregnancy, or just curious about how a fitpro and business owner balances it all, then this episode gives you a no-fluff, honest account at trimester 2.Love,LornaCEO of Lorna Marie Fitness: ⁠www.lornamariefitness.co.uk⁠Creator of YogaScape®: ⁠www.yogascape.co.uk⁠
