Become a FitNest Mama Member TodayImagine if preparing for birth meant watching your belly grow, choosing baby names, and snacking.
If you’re pregnant or hoping to be pregnant soon, I’m guessing you already know there’s a LOT to be across when it comes to pregnancy, birth, health, and fitness.
But since when did growing a human (go you!) also mean losing hours or days to Google?
Hands up if you’ve punched any of these into your search bar:
What impact will birth have on my body?
What happens if you don’t do pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy?
How can I relieve pregnancy aches and pains?
What exercise is safe to do in pregnancy, and how much is too much?
How long does it take to recover from birth?
When can I safely return to the sport after having a baby
Will I wet my pants after having a baby?
How to recoup the energy and strength to cope with the demands of a newborn
Truth bomb: Clear, credible, advice on what to expect when you're expecting can’t be found via Google searches, forum discussions, or social media threads.
Or via your neighbour's cousin's aunt.
Alarmingly, too many pregnancy ‘experts’ have too few qualifications.
That makes it hard to know what to do, what not to do, and who you can trust.
You might've even heard people say, "Women have been giving birth since the beginning of time – your body will know what to do!"
And for the record? That's where we're failing women in birth.
Because there ARE things you can and should do now to support your strength and health during pregnancy.
A healthy pregnancy, confident birth, and strong postpartum recovery may significantly impact your enjoyment of those early weeks, months, or years with your child.
What’s more, it can shape your motherhood experience.
That's why a credible source of information is essential – whether you’re having your first, second or third baby.
And knowing how to apply that information?
Lifechanging.
Your body’s changing needs calls for dynamic care – without the guesswork.
As a perinatal physiotherapist, I've worked with women of all stages of pregnancy, life, and fitness ability, and I know what exercises you can perform safely.
This means I can help support your ability to potentially avoid:
Inaccurate and potentially harmful advice
Long-term issues to your pelvic floor
Surgery or vaginal inserts to correct pelvic floor issues
Painful sex with your partner
Accidentally weeing when you’re mid-belly laugh with friends
Having to sit out from sport because you forgot to pack an incontinence pad
Health and fitness during pregnancy, birth and beyond means knowing what to do, when, why, and how to do it.
Information and advice from industry experts is essential.
And having a cheer squad encourage you from the sidelines? That’s a must.
FitNest Mama is your clear, credible roadmap to a confident birth and strong recovery.
Feel confident and make informed decisions about your pregnancy, childbirth and postpartum recovery
Stop worrying
or guessing on how to keep in shape and exercise safely

with measures to help reduce the chance of prolapse and incontinence after childbirth
Confidently adjust to your new normal

Meet Kath Baquie, FitNest Mama founder.
Hi, I’m Kath. I’m a mum of three and perinatal physiotherapist.
I don’t just understand the ups and downs of pregnancy, the challenges of birth, or the haze of the newborn bubble. I’ve lived the experience!
And I know all too well that a lack of information on how to prepare and recover from birth isn’t the problem.
It’s finding information you can trust and knowing how to apply it.
As a perinatal physiotherapist, I’ve helped countless women prepare for and recover from birth.
I’ve treated all sorts of pregnancy aches and pains, assessed pelvic floor and core function, and restored strength through physio-based exercise.
So many mamas tell me they want to do more to prepare for and recover from birth – they just don’t know where to start.
Their pregnancy or birth could have been so much easier.
They could have potentially avoided long-term damage to their body.
They could have fully recovered from birth, sooner.
I created this safe space where women just like you could access the step-by-step guidance and expert advice they’ve been craving.
Where you can find practical education and physio-based exercises that are safe, self-paced and effective.
Where expert guest speakers and growing like-minded community provides ongoing support for every stage of your pregnancy, birth, and recovery.
Where you can adjust to your new normal and rock this mama biz!
Kath’s qualified by and a member of:

These workouts have been specifically designed for pregnant mamas.

The postnatal period requires a different type of care. That’s why you’ll find video training that supports your healing and recovery during…
FitNest Mama Memberships also include:
Weekly Live Zoom Pilates Classes
With a perinatal physiotherapist – not a personal trainer.
Too many at-home exercise programs aren’t designed with pregnant and post-birth mamas in mind!
With a library of workouts available PLUS weekly live zoom pilates classes, these short, sharp video demonstrations are specifically created to support your changing body.
My background in physiotherapy and rehabilitative exercise means these physio-based exercises will:
- Minimise your risk of injury during pregnancy or recovery
- Build your core strength
- Improve pelvic floor function and after-birth abdominal separation
- Prepare your body for returning to higher-impact exercise (if relevant to you)
PLUS
I’ll explain how to perform them safely, and why they’re designed to support your recovery and ongoing wellbeing.
Ongoing Mentorship
One-off consultations and standalone courses might give you information and advice that’s suitable for ‘right now,’ but every new stage of pregnancy and postnatal recovery brings a different challenge.
That’s why ongoing support is embedded throughout your entire membership.
