Prepare to Push (R)

Prepare to Push- The key to birth prep & postpartum recovery

Would you run a marathon without training for it? Labor has been compared to running 6 back-to-back marathons, yet there is no training program available - until now.

The Prepare to Push® program applies the fitness principle of specificity to labor and birth prep. During labor, you will be using muscles that you never had to work in this way before. By training these muscles, you will have a smoother labor and expedite your recovery during the postpartum period.

Prepare To Push® gives you the essential information about your pelvic floor and abdomen in birth AND recovery.
