Experiencing sharp, stabbing pain in the front of your pelvis during pregnancy? You’re not alone — and no, you don’t just have to “deal with it” until birth. In this solo episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, pregnancy personal trainer and prenatal fitness coach Megan Martineau opens up about her personal experience with SPD (Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction) in both of her pregnancies and shares real-life, practical strategies to help you find relief.

SPD is a common type of pelvic girdle pain that can feel debilitating — but with the right support, you can stay active, reduce pain, and feel more confident moving through your pregnancy. Megan walks you through what causes SPD, the role of postural shifts, joint instability, and hormones like relaxin, and most importantly — what you can do today to feel better.

Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Signs and symptoms of SPD in pregnancy
• Lifestyle adjustments that bring immediate relief
• The do’s and don’ts of exercising with SPD
• Modifications to continue safe online prenatal workouts
• Why mobility and hip/core strength are essential
• When to seek help from a pelvic floor PT

If you’re currently pregnant and navigating pelvic pain, this episode is your reminder that there are solutions — and you don’t have to suffer in silence.

Whether you’re following a pregnancy fitness program or looking for applicable advice, you’ll walk away from this episode with a renewed sense of empowerment and support from someone who truly gets it.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses miscarriage and pregnancy loss. Please take care while listening.

In this tender and important episode of The Vibrantly You® Podcast, Meg and Caitlin open up a compassionate conversation about what it means to nourish your body after pregnancy loss. While no amount of self-care can take away the grief, nurturing your physical body can be one way to support the healing process—both hormonally and emotionally.

This episode is not about rules or restrictions. It’s about grace, gentleness, and giving your body the nutrients and kindness it deserves.

We explore:

• Why pregnancy loss is a physical event—alongside the emotional
• How to support recovery through food, hydration, and rest
• Key nutrients that help replenish and restore (iron, protein, omega-3s, and more)
• Tips for managing blood sugar, hormones, and emotional eating
• The role of prenatal vitamins and supplements after miscarriage
• How to approach eating with compassion and care, not pressure
• Exercise recommendations while healing to help reconnect to your body

If you’ve experienced pregnancy loss or are walking beside someone who has, this episode offers supportive guidance to help you feel seen, nourished, and not alone.

Please share this with someone who might need it. And as always, we encourage you to seek support from a trusted provider or counselor as part of your healing journey.
