WEEK FIVE SPEAKER Follow at Jessica, Sleepy Bunny Sleep Consulting @sleepybunnysleepconsulting... Jessica is a Certified Pediatric Sleep Consultant, momma, wife, prairie girl and currently can't get enough of iced capps or boston cream donuts. I LOVE sleep so when my daughter Lily was born and I wasn't getting my cushy 8 hrs every night, I was not having it and became obsessed with baby sleep. I soon realized how much "never sleeping again" is normalized but is so not true!! Or at least, it doesn't have to be true! This motivated me to start my journey to becoming a certified coach. From there, Sleepy Bunny Pediatric Sleep Consulting was born and now I help families from all over the world get more sleep, more consistency in their lives, less stress and all in a way that matches with their goals and values. We are so thrilled that Jessica will be hosting our Week 5 Expert Q&A session Baby Sleep Basics in the New Years Fitness Fyxx Baby & Me Virtual Bootcamp!

Wild night over here @carbonepizza pick up, popping bottles, making messes, cuddling, making additional messes, think we have it under control, glow stick bath party and pretend the messes don’t exist. Writing this from bed at 9pm ... Good Night Friends, may 2021 being you exactly what you need! #demiferrone

Relinquishing Control. Please tell me this topic is as difficult for you as it is for me!? Today in the prenatal & postnatal care world there is so much focus on the things we cannot control. I am here to say it sucks, cause frankly, it just does. But I’m also here to support you to consider what shifting your focus to the items you CAN control. ... Here are some things we unfortunately CANNOT control right now: 1. You cannot control if your delivery team requires you to deliver in a mask. 2. You cannot control if your support team cannot attend your first ultrasound with you. 3. You cannot control if your prenatal care is less frequent or at times offered virtual. 4. You cannot control the provincial restriction level which has altered your pregnancy, maternity leave and employment vastly. 5. You cannot control those around you, their actions and their current health status. 6. You cannot control who gets (or does not get) the vaccine and how they are prioritized. 7. You cannot control others. (although we try so dang hard, don’t we?) Does that list seem as exhausting to you, as it is for me? Phew. Okay, now let’s shift it around. Let’s energy transfer into things we can control. Today we can control: 1. How much water we drink (guzzles water) 2. What we choose to eat 3. How we do (or don’t) prioritize exercise 4. How we hold our daily postures 5. Whether we reach out to friends virtually and check in with them 6. Whether we use our allied health teams (massage therapy, athletic therapy, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, osteopathy, acupuncturists, chiropractors, naturopaths, doulas, etc the list goes on) that are hear to support you in this unique journey. 7. Whether we use trainers and fitness facilities working endless hours to serve you up creative virtual options (many free) to help bridge the gap between in-person fitness experiences to the online platform. 8. And lastly, how we breathe. It’s not as easy as dropping one list for another, that would be crazy to assume, but we can start shifting. Try breathing in our control and breathing out others. I love you to pieces mama’s - hang in there.

PJ Fight. Thanks COVID - for making the epic morning battle of getting kids out of their pyjamas even more difficult ... When they ask? But where are we going? Fair enough I guess. ... The clothing I can always talk them into is the @xo_littlerowe gear. The Andy tee (both kids) is literally the softest thing ever (they can easily be convinced it’s Jammie’s) I raise my large cup of coffee to all the parents trying to get the kids dressed and out the door. It wasn’t even easy before COVID! #mama #mom #mother #mamabear #ourhome #momlife #childhood #childhoodunplugged #motherhood #letthembelittle #candidchildhood #uniteinmotherhood #motherhoodthroughinstagram #parenthood #motherhoodunplugged #motherhoodrising #parenting #mumlife #momswithcameras #letthekids #dailyparenting #momsofinstagram #littleandbrave #mommylife

Welcome to the new ‘mom squad’ of the pandemic. We have been working hard to create something inspiring for you mamas. Our goal has been to provide an experience as close to our in-person sessions as possible for you to get everything you would have otherwise (if not more)! So, Voila! We present to you - our Virtual 6 Week Session Plan. ... Each week will consist of: Sundays 1pm 1 Live Zoom Workout (1 hour) You can tune in live with us, however it will be recorded and sent to you directly following the session. We highly encourage you to complete the workout again on your own that same week to experience maximum benefit. Weekly Zoom Education Session with Post-Natal Experts (30 mins + Q&A) Each week we will have a postnatal expert present on a variety of topics. Sessions will be scheduled around presenter’s availability with time sent to you with adequate notice. The session will also be recorded and sent to you following the live session, however we encourage you to attend to have the option to ask your questions! Weekly Posting Assignments & Engagement You NEED a forum to connect with mamas. We want to give you a safe and inviting environment to share your story. Complete your weekly posts in the form of text, video or photo and submit it to our private group chat. Engage with other members posts to create a connection with all the amazing individuals sharing a parallel journey. Accountability We will encourage you to complete and post both workouts for the week, your posting assignment and one additional weekly challenge around post-natal health. You will be hearing from us whether it is a gentle nudge or someone to lend an ear during a tough week, we are there. Thank you for inspiring us, other participants and those little eyes looking up to you setting an example in their world.

What are the contraindication of exercise during pregnancy? All pregnant women can participate in physical activity throughout pregnancy with the exception of those who have contraindications. Women with absolute contraindications may continue their usual activities of daily living but should not participate in more strenuous activities. Women with relative contraindications should discuss the advantages and disadvantages of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical... activity with their obstetric care provider prior to participation. Absolute contraindications to exercise are the following: ruptured membranes premature labour unexplained persistent vaginal bleeding placenta previa after 28 weeks gestation preeclampsia incompetent cervix intrauterine growth restriction high-order multiple pregnancy (e.g., triplets) uncontrolled Type I diabetes uncontrolled hypertension uncontrolled thyroid disease other serious cardiovascular, respiratory or systemic disorder Relative contraindications to exercise are the following: recurrent pregnancy loss gestational hypertension history of spontaneous preterm birth mild/moderate cardiovascular or respiratory disease symptomatic anemia malnutrition eating disorder twin pregnancy after the 28th week other significant medical conditions. If you are ever unsure, a conversation with your treating medical providers is a great place to start. Do not be shy to ask your pre-natal team for more clarification and assistance where you need it. It’s the most important mama (Reference: Canadian Guideline for Physical Activity throughout Pregnancy) #womenshealthphysiotherapy #pregnancyexercise #pregnancyfit #pregnancyexerciseeducation #prenatalexerciseeducation #exerciseduringpregnancy #pelvicfloorsafe #pelvicfloorphysicaltherapy
