Can You Lift Weights While Pregnant? Deb...

Rachel & Emma Dillon
About this episode

When it comes to training during pregnancy, the advice out there can feel extremely overwhelming and often, fear-driven.

In this powerful first episode of our 3-part pregnancy mini series, Rachel is joined by women’s health coach, certified pregnancy specialist, and mum, Sheridan Skye. Together, they dive deep into the truth about strength training during pregnancy, what’s safe, what’s not, and why listening to your body is key.

Sheridan has played a major role in developing the Move With Us Pregnancy Program, and she’s passionate about giving women the education and confidence to move powerfully through every trimester. In this episode, we bust some of the most common myths around training while pregnant, explore what’s really happening in the body during resistance workouts, and break down what trimester-specific training can actually look like.

🎧 Whether you’re currently pregnant, planning for the future, or just curious about how to move through this life stage with support, this episode is packed with reassurance, expert advice, and empowering takeaways.
