It’s that time!!! 24weekspregnant bumpdate 🙌🏼 
ha) .
Finding that some foam rolling and gentle yoga at night helps ALOT. .
Another fun fact I learned this week. Did you know that with some pregnancies you can increased “secretions” due to high estrogen?!? . I have had a chronic runny/stuffy nose and cough. NOT sick, no fever, but the snot just pours out of me (sorry for the TMI)
.
it’s more Pitta imbalance, and increased secretions or water retention means 
water or more Kapha imbalance. 
A SAMPLING A MY WORKOUTS FROM 24 WEEKS. ALL AVAILABLE AS PART OF MY VIRTAL WELLNESS STUIDO. TAKE YOUR FREE PREGNANCY HEALTH ASSESSMENT AND LEARN MORE HERE.
15 minutes!!! ⏰ .
Now let's be real… you spend at least that amount of time scrolling FB or IG throughout the day if not more!! .
Well that's the exact amount of time this workout took me. My legs were torched, I got in a solid sweat, and I didn't have to travel anywhere to do it, have tons of equipment, or even carve out an entire hour to make it happen. Plus I'm #24weekspregnant ❗️❗️❗️ .
What I did need was to rally my motivation to DO IT, my online library of amazing workouts of all types to choose from, 1 fifteen pound weight, and to invest 15 mins of my day into ME. .
The pay off…. feeling stronger, more confident, and just better for the rest of the day 🙌🏼 .
Of coarse somedays I double the amount of time (gasp 😱) and do a full 30 mins 😊, I know I'm a rebel right?!? 😂, but on days like today something is better than nothing!! .
It's your turn!!! What will you do with your 15 today?!? Wanna join me for some workouts?!? Comment Tell Me More below for deets about my virtual wellness studio!!!

Bumps, Belly Bands, & Barre Work!!
With this second pregnancy I've noticed A LOT more low back and round ligament discomfort 😳😫My doc says this increases with each pregnancy . (Yeay🙌🏼, sarcasm implied 😂) .
So I'm EXTREMELY grateful to have this amazing belly support band from @baobeimaternity. .
I threw it on for today's amazing Barre routine one of the 100s of workouts in my Digital Wellness studio, and it felt WORLD'S better! SIDENOTE… Have you joined my online wellness studio so we can work together yet?!? 😜🤔😘 .
Some interesting info about Belly Support Bands from my research & experience … .
1. They help decrease Back and joint and SI joint pain during pregnancy ( SI joint pain frequently occurs during pregnancy as a result of the increase of relaxin, a hormone that causes the hip joints to become loose and less stable)
It’s a sharp and sometimes excruciating pain in the lower back adjacent to the tailbone. Belly bands and braces that support this region help stabilize the joint, which may prevent pain during activities. .2. Belly bands provide GENTLE compression during activities.Ever go for a run without a sports bra? Sounds awful, right? The same principle applies to a growing baby bump. NOTE: Too much compression on the abdomen can impair circulation, and it can cause negative effects on blood pressure. It can also contribute to heartburn and indigestion. .
3. They provide external cues for posture, By supporting the lower back and torso, they encourage correct posture and prevent overextension of the lower back .
4. They can be worn after pregnancy for support. Decreased core strength is common in the weeks following birth. Many women find that wearing a belly band postpartum provides additional support to the abdomen and lower back, decreasing discomfort. .
Important FYI…
• Only wear a belly band or support garment for no more than two to three hours at a time to prevent over dependency. • Exercises to strengthen the transverse abdominis (TA) should be done in combination with the use of a belly band to strengthen the core muscles both during and after pregnancy.
• Always consult your doctor before using any compression garments.Posted by Jaclyn Hughes on Tuesday, April 25, 2017
