Fit&Healthy Pregnancy

It’s finally official, the Covid vaccination is recommended for pregnant women! Me too, I was vaccinated a few months ago when I was five months pregnant. Nevertheless, I still remember clearly the partly astonished, bewildered and – let's call them- strong reactions I was bombarded with afterwards. All I wanted was to encourage other moms-to-be because specially in the German speaking countries, women were hesitating to get vaccinated. In today's blog, I would like to address the most frequently asked questions to clear up the last prejudices on getting vaccinated against Covid19. After all we all need to be informed as best as possible in order to make the best decision for ourselves, those around us and the little babies we are carrying in us. 😉

This is a guest article by Katharina Püschel. On her German blog "Windeln & Workouts" (Diapers & Workouts) she writes about everything that moves mothers, including sports during pregnancy. The topic is particularly important to the former ice hockey player of the KEC DIE HAIE and passionate crossfitter, as she repeatedly received uncomprehending looks and well-intentioned, but often wrong or even outdated, advice during her first pregnancy in 2018.  At the time of drafting this post, she is pregnant again, at 36 weeks, and continues to train on the barbell, as well as with the Move It Mama app. Today she shares her experience with you.
