The Real Risk of Misinformation in Pre + Postnatal Fitness

In today’s digital world, it’s never been easier to access information. But when it comes to prenatal and postnatal fitness, access doesn’t always equal accuracy and more often than not, the wrong voices are the loudest.

We are in the middle of a crisis and it’s not one that can be solved by another “10-minute ab burner for postpartum moms” or "fix your diastasis recti with these 5 moves."

The real epidemic in the pregnancy and postpartum fitness space is miseducation.

Every day, millions of women scroll through social media and see influencer after influencer dishing out pregnancy workout tips, promoting their postpartum shred challenges, or offering advice on diastasis recti healing all with zero qualifications beyond their own lived experience.

It’s not that lived experience isn’t valuable. It is. But lived experience without education, without nuance, without experience with other women's' bodies, without an understanding of pelvic floor health, breath mechanics, nervous system regulation, or biomechanical shifts during pregnancy—that’s not expertise. That’s opinion dressed up in leggings and a filter.

And the stakes are too high to keep pretending otherwise.

The Algorithm Is Loud. But It’s Not Qualified.

We live in a time where aesthetics and algorithms hold more power than credentials. The fitness industry has always skewed performative, but in the world of motherhood fitness, the consequences of misinformation hit harder.

Because when you’re pregnant, postpartum, or navigating your way through core recovery with pelvic floor dysfunction, you don’t just need motivation you need precision.

And when that’s missing?

Women get hurt. Physically, emotionally, and psychologically.

They feel broken when they shouldn’t.
They’re told to “just modify” or “listen to their bodies” without being given any of the tools to actually do that.
They end up leaking, hurting, or believing that pain is normal or worse, that they just need to “push through.”

This isn’t just disappointing. It’s dangerous.

Pregnancy and Postpartum Aren’t Trends. They’re Transformations.

Prenatal exercise isn’t about shrinking, tightening, or keeping up appearances. It’s about preparation for labor, for birth, for motherhood, and for a lifelong relationship with your body.

Postnatal workouts aren’t about bouncing back. They’re about reintegration. Rebuilding. Reclaiming your strength, not just for your body’s aesthetics, but for its longevity and function.

We’re not here for quick fixes. We’re here for deep, intelligent change.

At The Bloom Method, we’ve spent over a decade refining a methodology that blends the science of movement with the art of breath, nervous system support, and functional core engagement. We don’t sell fear or fantasies, we offer evidence-based programs that evolve with a woman’s body from first trimester workouts to postpartum strength training and beyond.

This work is not about doing more. It’s about doing it right.

Women Deserve Better Than This

You deserve more than “engage your core” and “don’t let your knees pass your toes.”

You deserve a coach who understands what intra-abdominal pressure is and why it matters.

You deserve prenatal workouts that prepare your pelvic floor, not deplete it.

You deserve postnatal fitness programs that support your body’s healing not punish it for needing time to recover.

You deserve truth. Expertise. And care that’s grounded in your biology not someone else’s highlight reel.

Let’s Raise the Standard—Together

To the women reading this: stay curious. Ask better questions. Stop giving away your trust to people who haven’t earned it.

If something feels off in your body, trust that.
If someone’s advice sounds generic, vague, or overly aesthetic-driven, question it.
And if you’re tired of feeling like your body is a problem to fix, you’re not alone.

Your postpartum body isn’t broken, it’s brilliant.
Your pelvic floor isn’t weak, it’s wise.
And you? You’re powerful.

But power needs support. The right kind. The kind rooted in science, skill, and soul.

That’s what we do at Bloom. And we’ll never stop fighting for a world where every woman has access to the real tools not trends that help her thrive.

Because this isn’t just about fitness.

It’s about rewriting the way women return home to their bodies.
