73. My 3-Step Birth Prep Framework: How to Train Your Body for Labor & Delivery

Most pregnancy workouts focus on staying active… but very few actually prepare you for labor and delivery.In this solo episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Megan — certified pregnancy personal trainer and birth doula — breaks down her signature 3-step birth prep framework designed to help you feel strong, confident, and physically prepared for the demands of birth.Because labor isn’t just about breathing techniques or hoping for the best — it’s an athletic event, and your training should reflect that.Inside this episode, Megan walks you through:1. Core & Pelvic Floor Coordination Why a healthy pelvic floor isn’t just about tightening — it’s about function. You’ll learn how breath mechanics, pressure management, and coordination help to minimize pain, and support effective pushing during labor.2. Strength & Stamina Under Load Labor requires endurance, not just strength. We talk about how to build progressive strength during pregnancy so you can hold positions, manage fatigue, and keep going when labor gets intense.3. Mobility & Positioning for Birth Birth is dynamic — your body needs to move. This isn’t about passive stretching. It’s about creating mobility that allows you to access positions that support labor progression and help baby descend.This episode will shift how you think about pregnancy fitness — from “just staying active” to training with purpose.Whether you’re following a pregnancy fitness program, working with a prenatal fitness coach, or looking for guidance on how to prepare your body for birth, this episode will give you a clear roadmap.🎧 Tune in for more episodes on pregnancy workout plans, postpartum recovery, birth prep, and free resources for new moms — all designed to help you feel Vibrantly You® through every stage of motherhood.To work with Megan, check out her 1:1 Online Prenatal Training and In-Person Birth doula packages HERE. Episodes referenced:#41 Training for Labor like a Marathon#57 Strengthening or Stretching for PregnancyDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only and not to diagnose or treat any conditions.
