More women than ever want to eat and exercise in a way that keeps them safe, healthy, and strong during pregnancy and postpartum.
And yet — pre- and postnatal-specific health, fitness, and nutrition topics are rarely covered in Certs. 🤔
Spoiler alert: a paragraph about heart rate and relaxin ain't gonna cut it. 🙄
