I meet with women’s health specialist Michelle Norton-Hughes from www.rebuildandthrive.co.uk for a  a whistle stop tour of exercise in the perinatal period. We cover exercising in the early days, what to avoid from the second trimester onwards, pelvic girdle pain, incontinence and running during pregnancy and postnatally. We finish with a little on diastasis recti (abdominal separation), how to return to sport safely after your birth and when to seek professional advice. EXPERT OPINION
