47: CrossFit During Pregnancy & Postpartum with Katie Bacarella

Katie Bacarella is a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist and P&PA coach who became who she needed after her first pregnancy & postpartum experience. She was an avid CrossFit athlete who, like me, was pretty surprised on how these seasons of pregnancy & postpartum impacted her athletic endeavors. In this episode we talk all about how to adjust workouts during pregnancy, what a postpartum return to exercise timeline looks like and more. Time Stamps:Katie bio (00:00)CrossFit during pregnancy in 2017 (10:00)Intention & removing exercises that don't feel good (15:00)1st birth experience & dealing with postpartum mental health concerns (18:00)Postpartum cautious recovery (24:00)Opening her own PT clinic (29:00)Balancing work and mom life (31:00)Setting an example for her daughters (35:00)Pelvic floor PT during pregnancy (40:00)Prolapse postpartum & healing timelines (44:00)Advice for a first-time mom (51:00)Connect with Kristine:Email - [email protected] - @birth.injury.coachYouTube Channel - https://www.youtube.com/@kristine.mamaprojectSubscribe to receive my weekly emails - https://mamaproject.myflodesk.com/mailinglist
