Mama, I know how overwhelming it can feel to navigate all the conflicting advice about exercise during pregnancy. What’s safe? What’s not? It’s a lot to sort through when you’re already dealing with so many changes! That’s why I’m here to set the record straight on three big pregnancy exercise myths that need some serious debunking.

Pregnancy is a beautiful, transformative journey, but it can also be physically and emotionally demanding. As a mom of two toddlers with baby #3 on the way, I’ve definitely had my share of tough days. But over these three pregnancies, I’ve also learned so much about what my body needs to feel strong, healthy, and ready to tackle whatever motherhood throws my way.

To be honest, I wasn’t even sure I wanted to be a mom in my 20s! It wasn’t until I really took care of myself, gained a clearer vision of what I wanted in life, and then met my husband that I knew I wanted to be a mom. That was when I was 34!

Here are some of my thoughts about being an “over 35 toddler mom” that I hope will inspire and alleviate the fears of anyone in their 30s who doesn’t have kids yet.
