Abby Bales is the founder of Reform Physical Therapy, which is all about keeping pregnant and postpartum women healthy, active, and injury-free during and after pregnancy. On this episode, Abby explains what exactly that means, why it\u2019s so important \u2014 and often overlooked \u2014 and what women need to understand about returning to exercise after pregnancy. (Because spoiler, it\u2019s a lot more in depth than just waiting six weeks after birth and then jumping back in.) As someone who isn\u2019t pregnant, has never been pregnant, and has no children, I had loads of questions for Abby, and she was game to answer all of them. She even walked me through the proper way to do kegel exercises! But this episode isn\u2019t just about pelvic floors. Abby and I also talk about her history with Ulcerative Colitis (we\u2019re IBD sisters!), her relationship with running before, during, and after her own pregnancies, and what it\u2019s like being an entrepreneur and mom of two.
