Staying Strong in Pregnancy-Fitness Journey
As a fitness mummy,my days often start with 6 or 7 am Pilates Reformer,followed by 30 minutes of work it out
Mummy Journey
One of the biggest lesson I have learned in pregnancy is tha fitness is not just about looking strong, its about feeling energised and prepare for all the changes happening in my body . In the beggining . I was worried about getting a huge belly or gaining much weight.I remembered how, ,just 5 years ago. I was only 50 kilos at 1.70cm.Very slim and completely different version ofmyself.Many mummys to be shared the history of gaining 15 or 20 kilos, and honestely made me a bit scared.
That’s when I decided to approach this pregnancy differently:with intention, discipline
Our Family Journey in Australia
As an Australian Resident, we discovered how incredible the public maternity system can be. With the guidance of our doctor, we chose Monash Women’s Hospital in Sandringham and it has been the best decisions for our family. We didnt have to pay a cent for the hospital,doctors or midwives.

Navigating Family Opinions as an Immigrant Mum
Pregnancy is a time filled with love, excitement, and new beginnings — but it can also be a time when everyone suddenly has an opinion about how you should raise your baby.
Recently, after spending time with family, I walked away feeling a little down. There were so many questions, so much advice, and not enough encouragement. I shared my thoughts about Montessori education and my dreams for Valentina’s future, but instead of support, I felt judged. I kept hearing things like “education doesn’t matter, it’s about parenting,” and it made me doubt myself for a moment.
What makes it even harder is being an immigrant mum. I’m Brazilian, living here in Australia, married to my wonderful husband Nalen, who comes from a more traditional, conservative family. Sometimes I feel like my ideas clash with the expectations around me. My heart wants to raise Valentina with openness, independence, and new perspectives, but the voices around me often remind me of “how it’s always been done.”
Trust yourself you are enought. even they say the opposite
Maybe some of these feelings come from pregnancy hormones. Maybe I am a little extra sensitive now. But I also know I’m not alone.
So many women go through this — balancing cultures, facing judgment, and trying to hold on to their own values in the middle of family traditions.
Motherhood begins even before birth. It’s not only about preparing the nursery or eating healthy meals. It’s about protecting your baby, your choices, and your energy.
It’s about listening to advice with respect, but also trusting yourself above all else.
To any mums-to-be who are immigrants, or who feel the weight of family expectations: you are not dramatic, you are not alone, and your voice matters. Our babies will grow up seeing us stand strong in our truth — and that is the greatest gift we can give them.
With courage and love,

Visitig our own Inner Child
When we are about to became mothers, something tender awakes inside us, we return our own childhood.
Memories of how our mummys cares for us , the way she looked at us.the words she or dint say,come back with such strengh.
We start to think about her constantly, reflecting on what we dont want to repeat , what really hurt us and we are hiding for long time , in our pandora box, very secretely
Becoming a mum is not only welcoming new life . its also reconciling with the little girl that still lives within us.
The Superwoman Body
During the pregnancy , our bodies transform in ways that we nothing short of miraculous. The entire digestive systwm shifts and adpts, the organs move, STRETCH, and makes space for the new life.
We breath through the changes.
Intestines are pushed and rotated , the stomash is compressed , and even the smallest meal feels different. we are just about to explode. just make sure you give enough nutrients for your little lover .
