I've always been an athlete, so when I got pregnant, I worried about not knowing what was safe. After taking this course, I not only feel confident about how to structure my workouts, but I also feel much more in tune with my pelvic floor muscles and how to safely strengthen my core to alleviate pregnancy pain and facilitate safe lifting. I look forward to applying everything I’ve just learned!

I loved how this course was extremely informative, while also being so easily digestible. I was already active during my pregnancy prior to taking this course, but now my toolbox of exercises has grown so much! After completing it, I feel much more prepared for birth and postpartum recovery, and I can't wait to use the video library that’s included to create custom workouts, especially as I enter the third (and fourth!) trimester.

As a first-time expecting mom, pregnancy can be very overwhelming – with so many changes and unknowns. This comprehensive guide was the perfect solution for me! I loved how there were multiple ways to consume the information – videos, text, and images. Thanks to this course, I’ve been able to safely stay active during pregnancy while preparing for the ultimate goal of childbirth and the postpartum experience!

I am so glad that I found this course early on in my second trimester! I knew intuitively that exercise would play a vital role in helping me have the birth experience that I want, but I was so lost on where to begin and what was safe. I loved how this course educated me on how to support my body throughout every stage. I also loved how it emphasized the need to listen to my individual body, and that it did not preach a “one-size-fits-all” approach.

The course is very detailed, yet so easy to understand. I loved how it always provided the “why” behind any guidance given so that I could understand and appreciate the rationale. After completing it, I feel much more confident in choosing specific exercises and routines during my pregnancy!

What You Will Learn

The course is divided into 8 learning modules that you progress through at your own pace. Choose to learn via engaging video lessons, full text, or both! Discover what you will learn below.

While exercise in general is highly beneficial, discover how preparing for the specific demands of this journey can help you experience a smoother pregnancy, easier labor, and faster recovery. This is truly one of life’s greatest athletic events, and by training for it as such, you can successfully manage the challenges, and not just “recover,” but perhaps emerge even stronger.

Discover the 8 ways your body changes and the associated impact on physical activity. Understanding these changes will help you appreciate the guidance for what to avoid in Module 3 and (more importantly) what to focus on in Modules 5 and 6.

The changes discussed in Module 2 place unique stresses on your body. So, this Module will help you understand what to avoid or modify by trimester to mitigate potential pains or injuries. Given that every body, and every pregnancy, is different, you will also learn some helpful tools that you can use to determine if a particular exercise is appropriate for your body.

Learn what happens during labor — without the Hollywood fluff — and discover 5 key factors that can facilitate a more efficient and effective experience. Then, dive into the (very physical) demands of early parenthood to understand some of the key activities you’ll want to prepare for.

This is the most important module of the entire course! You’ve learned about the unique stresses placed on your body during pregnancy, childbirth, and early parenthood. Now, it’s time to learn how to prepare your body for them. Discover the 4 key skills that will set you up for success in this journey, and far beyond. From alignment, to breathing mechanics, pelvic floor work, and “ADL” (Activities of Daily Living) training, the strategies you learn in this module will benefit your throughout ALL stages of your life.

After mastering the foundational skills in Module 5, now you will learn how to safely and effectively build your strength to better manage the stresses of late-stage pregnancy and birth. You will also come away with powerful strategies that can help facilitate a more efficient and effective birth experience — including energy management, mindset & pain management, safe & effective pushing, and more.

Modules 5 and 6 focus on techniques and strategies to master. Now, in Module 7, we’ll talk about how to actually plan your workouts — including how to structure them in each stage of your training, and how to select movements. You’ll also see some sample workouts and get access to a video exercise library to give you plenty of ideas when planning your workouts. Even if you’re not working out on your own, this module can still be helpful in understanding the components of a well-structured workout.

If you follow the strategies you learn in the first 7 Modules, you will already set yourself up for a much easier postpartum recovery. This module will just give you some additional education and guidance to further support your recovery. Understand the key physical changes that occur after birth — for vaginal and C-section deliveries — then learn simple (but powerful) strategies that can expedite the healing process and discover resources you might find helpful during your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

This can vary widely by individual, and how you choose to consume the information — watching videos, reading text, or both. The average time to complete the course is about 4 – 6 hours.

You have access to the online learning platform and workout builder for 1-year. However, since all the written materials and handouts are available to download, you have lifetime access to the course materials.

The course is divided into 8 learning modules that you progress through at your own pace (see the topics covered). Each module contains a downloadable PDF of the detailed text, along with a few short video lessons (no longer than 20 minutes).

We offer both video and text lessons because we recognize that everyone has different learning preferences. So, you can choose the learning format you prefer (or use both).

Progress through the course at your own pace. The system always keeps track of where you leave off — even if in the middle of a video.

The PDFs often contain links to additional articles, videos, or resources. For your convenience, we have consolidated these links into a Reference Link Summary Document that is included in the Additional Resources section of your course. You will also find a Full Course PDF with all modules combined into one document to allow for easier printing.

This course is intended to empower you with the knowledge you need to engage in whatever physical activity routine you prefer. While it certainly provides guidance on how to plan your workouts — and provides you a Video Exercise Library + Workout Builder and sample workouts — this is not a “workout program.” If you are interested in workouts only, explore our self-guided training programs.

This course is meant to give you the education to apply however you want.

  • If you already have a fitness routine you love, this course will help you learn how to modify that routine as your pregnancy progresses (and teach you some beneficial exercises and techniques to begin practicing that are unique to this journey).
  • If you prefer working out on your own, you’ll receive guidance on how to plan and structure your workouts (along with access to our video exercise library + workout builder to make creating your workouts easier).

While you can certainly take this course, it will not give you the level of information — or certificate — you need to coach pre & postnatal clients. It also does not cover postpartum training in detail. You can see the difference in content provided in our 18 module Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist Course (which gives you your certificate and maximum CEUs).

Yes! We allow you to take the first 2 modules risk-free. If, at any time during the first 2 modules, you are not satisfied with the course, you can email us at info@pronatalfitness.com to request a full refund, and the materials from those modules are yours to keep. After the first 2 modules, however, refunds will not be granted.

How to Use the Affirm Payment Plan

When you get to the payment section in the purchase process, select to “pay over time with Affirm” (as shown below) instead of entering any credit card information. Click “Sign up now.”

Once you click the “sign up now” button, a box (shown below) will pop-up prompting you to begin entering the necessary information to check your credit.

Enter this information, and you will see your payment plan options laid out, like below. Your monthly payments and total payment will be listed for each option with interest broken out so you can see exactly how much interest is included. Interest rates are based on your credit score and you will have the option to move forward or not.

Select the option you’d like, and click continue. It will show you the amount due today and it will also give you the dates and amounts of the next payments. You will have the option to enroll in autopay if you’d like. The entire process takes less than 5 minutes.
