Becoming a parent was a hard transition for me.

I wanted to do everything right - continue to perform at work, have a clean house, be a present and "good" mom.

During both of my pregnancies, I experienced such terrible pelvic pain that I stopped exercising.

Despite pregnancy being a nearly universal experience, there's surprisingly little research or guidance about maintaining fitness during pregnancy.

Like many women I talk to, I spent years believing that controlling my body with food and exercise was the path to health and happiness.
