Ah, I am so happy for you! I know this video is super niche, but I am so grateful that it was helpful ❤I'm here for you all through this journey! xxx Zo
This video is very important. I am black blet 1 dann in hapkido, I am 7 months pregnant and i am still practincing with caution. Thanks for sharing your expirience.
Ah, it makes so so happy to read comments like this - it's a pretty lonely journey sometimes, being a martial woman, and even more so when pregnant. I'm glad my video is helpful on your journey! Congratulations, and wishing you a safe and special birth when the time comes ❤️
A rare and unique type of video, If it helps just one mom while pregnant it’s a success, if it makes an instructor rethink the status quo and make a better decision , or to further question and look at an ever increasing field of modern knowledge. Then we have success Both pregnancies have come with lots of individual quirks, including the deliveries and the labour. Proud to see this contribution on our channel and all that Zoe has gone through. ❤
I have been so proud to have you as my husband - you are an outstanding father and partner, and you have made this journey so special and wonderful. It is an honour to raise children with you ❤️
We are at 3months now And most grateful he is very chilled But when he wants mama , I can’t run fast enough As for the terrible sleep ..,., my gut is black from all the coffee Thanks Again Matthew for commenting and sharing, I’m always learning Che
19:55 "My body doesn't produce certain hormones, it is not my fault. It is not personal" I wished I knew that when I had my major depression a few years back (not pregnancy related). Oh man, the guilt I felt. But it is so true! Thank you Mrs Big Brain Zoe! I'll needed to hear that!
Ah, I'm sorry you went through that - no one deserves that dark cloud. My depression went untreated for years. I am so grateful that I have meds now, and that I have been able to reclaim my life. I hope it has been the same for you ❤️
i have read about work related stress, which is different from depression but it can be similuar in the way it manifests in the body, the idea was the more stressed you body is the more you think your self is the reason for the stress. Self dought, guildt can be indicators of this.
My pleasure 😊I truly hope it will be helpful to the women who walk behind me on this path - I wish there had been something like this when I had my first baby, so if this helps someone out, then I am super happy
Thanks guys for your efforts to teach us karate, we really appreciate. Congratulations madam for expecting a healthy beautiful baby 👶 very soon, oss🙏🙏🥊🥊🥋🥋
Oh no! That's so hard to hear :( I know I would have been devastated too. If it is an option, it would be best to hear from an OB-GYN and get their insight, as pregnancy is their speciality. Most civilians have no idea what karate is about, they think it is just kicking and punching each other as hard as we can all the time, and that might be influencing their opinion. Again, *I am not a medical professional* and I don't know if you have a high-risk pregnancy and need to take it as easy as possible. But doing a kata like Tensho slowly and consistently really helped me stay strong and involved in my training. The harder part was finding time to train after baby was born! Please don't hesitate to drop me an email at dojo@grkc1978.com and share your story with me. I hope we can talk some more and find a way through. You are in my thoughts, one momma to another. xxx Zoë
@GojuRyuKarateCentre oh thank you for your reply! I'm only 8th kyu. I do yaka suku and keon kimites. But it's really up to my grand master. I absolutely love karate its a beautiful art. Balance , strength. Works on mind, concentration and memory I shall miss it.
I just found out today I’m pregnant. This has been the first helpful video I’ve seen for myself today.

Cool topic! It’s an important topic that doesn’t get the coverage it deserves. Thanks for the insight and wisdom throughout the video.
It’s a pleasure

@@GojuRyuKarateCentre welcome, glad to hear from you once again
🙂🙂🙂
I fell behind on comments
Sorry
I finally caught up over last week
@@GojuRyuKarateCentre It's okay. Everything's fine. Glad it's a positive comment or news anyway😁😁😁
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Ive been told by my GP to give it up because this is our first baby. I'm shattered :(
Oh no! That's so hard to hear :( I know I would have been devastated too.

What you were during Pregnancy?
Hello, I was teaching and doing some light training
Husbands cooking..,, food aversion 😶🌫️
I'm sorry I was almost vegetarian 😅
Looks like a lot of qi packed above the belt... :)
It was massive !! The hospital just survived
