@ESM_ACSM @MHuebnerPhD Thank you so much!

New systematic review on pelvic floor muscle training for those who leak with high-impact exercise demonstrates it’s usefulness.

Kind of goes against the anti-kegel crowd bubbling up on social media.

I’m not saying JUST do kegels. But evidence is too strong to dismiss them

One of the coolest, and maybe most frustrating, things about doing a PhD is that part of your “job” is reading and thinking.

It’s letting yourself explore the literature.

But that isn’t something you can check off your to-do list.

@l_giangregorio I love that you have that lifelong approach to learning. Time I feel goes by so fast. I’ve been a clinician for 10 years in September! 😳

I finished my PhD a week ago.

You’d think that you would finish your degree and think “I did it, I know the thing”

Instead it is just the beginning and I have so much more to learn

For example with my second- I went from 4 cm to my son being born in about an hour (lol story for another time)

But from first contraction, it was about 24 hours

[Christina Prevett PT PhD @C_PrevettPhD]

How we define labor stages is important.

First stage of labor (0-10 cm) dilated is often broken up into latent (0-4 cm) and active (4-10 cm).

Reporting is often ACTIVE stages.
So it looks like mama was in labor for 6 hours but she’ll tell you it was 18 from 1st contraction

It’s OKAY if you NEVER return to pre-pregnancy fitness levels. Your life, and priorities change … your fitness can too. #pelvichealth #femaleathlete
