Unleash Your Inner Wonder Woman
Consider your fabulous self blessed with the unyielding ability to eat ice cream in the bathtub at 3 AM while simultaneously plotting world domination from your couch. But as your belly grows (and grows), finding a way to keep that 'boss-energy' glowing is an absolute must.
"Hey, Momma, your belly might be big enough to have its own weather system, but your smile beams sunshine!"First off, gentle exercises can do wonders. Yes, we said gentle. Think of it as your own personal prenatal Pilates—because, let’s be real, no one is expecting you to attempt an Ironman right now. Swimming is fantastic for relieving that "I've swallowed a watermelon" feeling, while dancing around your living room counts as cardio, especially if you're doing it Natasha Lyonne style.

Be the epitome of cool, grab life (and cravings) by the helm, and empower yourself with every hiccup, every sob, and every sudden dance move to Bohemian Rhapsody.
"Remember: It's your movie. Play the superhero, not the sidekick!"So, while you embark on this wild and beautiful journey, keep this mantra: A bump today, a boss tomorrow. Who knew? Being fit and fabulous was just a vibe (and a fabulous pair of leggings) away!
