Today, I have with me OBGYN and Pregnancy & Postpartum Athleticism Coach, Lamia Zafrani, who shares with us what her life currently looks like as a pregnant athlete. Lamia is an incredible resource and collaborator and is actually one of the expert interviews in the P&PA Course itself. I truly value her perspective and work in this community!

Today she shares more in-depth about what it means to be “cleared”, her own very personal experience with miscarriage and recovery from pregnancy loss, how she utilizes woop to keep data on her health (and how her woop actually helped her discover her miscarriage), and the importance of learning HOW to listen to your body during pregnancy and what to listen for. This is an eye-opening episode and a must-listen for pregnant athletes!

You can find Lamia on Instagram at @lamiazafrani.
