4 Ways to Ease Pelvic Pain in Pregnancy

Nicole Scheitlin
About this episode

Pelvic pain can be a common pregnancy symptom and... it hurts! I see this type of pain cause a lot of pregnant mamas to slow down and stop exercising, which is actually the opposite of what will help. In this episode I share what types of pelvic pain you might experience, why it happens, and some simple steps you can take right away to prevent or manage the pain so you can stay active and comfortable!
