POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

My daughter was born in an OP (sunny-side up) position.
She actually was in the perfect position, but then decided sometimes DURING labor to turn 🫠🤣
When I found that out, I was surprised because we so often hear that posterior babies automatically mean a long, difficult labour or lots of interventions.

My experience looked different.

Labour was incredibly intense (those damn contractions iykyk 😂), but I still had a vaginal water birth without tearing.

I’m not sharing this because every OP birth will be the same. Birth is unpredictable, and every experience is unique.

I’m sharing it because positive birth stories deserve space too.

And while I can’t say whether staying active during pregnancy changed my birth outcome, I will say this: it helped me feel strong, capable, and confident in my body when I needed it most.

If you’re carrying an OP baby, take this as encouragement—not a promise.

Your story is still yours to write. 🤎

Hi, I’m Una 👋🏼✨

I’m the founder of The Fit Mama Edit, and if you’re wondering about the meaning behind the name, I wanted to share the story.

The “Fit Mama” part comes from two things that are a huge part of my life: fitness and motherhood.

The “Edit” represents growth. The idea that we’re constantly evolving, learning, adapting, and rewriting our story through different seasons of life.

Motherhood has edited me.
Fitness has edited me.
Pregnancy has edited me.
And each season continues to shape who I am.

This page is a space where I’ll be sharing my journey through pregnancy, motherhood, fitness, and everything I’m learning along the way as I work toward becoming a certified pre and postnatal coach.

My goal is to help women feel strong, confident, and supported through pregnancy, postpartum, and beyond.

Whether you’re here for workouts, encouragement, education, or simply to follow along, I’m so glad you’re here. 💛

Here’s to embracing every season and giving ourselves permission to grow through it.

This is the story behind why I became a pre & postnatal coach. 🤍

If you’ve ever been told to stop moving during pregnancy, or you’ve felt afraid to exercise because of something you’ve heard, I hope this reminds you that fear doesn’t have to be louder than evidence.

Thank you for being here.

I’ll be posting the full story on my Substack tomorrow (linked in my bio), and follow along @thefitmamaedit for more on pregnancy, postpartum, and evidence-based movement.

Happy Monday. Joined my gym class this AM. Life’s easy when you can just show up and don’t have to think about what to do, especially this late into pregnancy 😂 Now the question is, will I have this baby in 3 weeks or 3 days? 🤣

DAY 01/50 🤰🏽✨

And we’re officially doing this.

50 days until my due date.
50 days to prepare for birth, baby + this next chapter.

My first day looked like movement, nourishing my body, birth prep, and reminding myself that this challenge is about showing up — not being perfect.

No punishment.
No starting over.
No pressure to do more than my body needs.

Just 50 days of being intentional with myself before we meet this baby. 🤍

49 days to baby.

Welcome to The Final 50 — The 50-Day Mama Edit. 🥹🤰🏽

I’ll post daily on my story and occasionally leave full day highlights on my feed.

I wanted to do 75 Hard (preggo edition)… then I realized I ain’t got 75 days — apparently I’ve got way less 😂 So I decided to create something that actually makes sense for this season of my life:

✨ THE FINAL 50 — The 50-Day Mama Edit ✨

50 days until my due date (I hope 🤣).
50 days to prepare my body, mind and home for birth + baby.

This isn’t about pushing myself harder. It’s about being more intentional.

For the next 50 days, I’m committing to:
🤰🏽 Moving my body
🫁 Practicing birth breathing + relaxation
📖 Preparing for birth
🥗 Nourishing myself
😴 Prioritising rest
🧠 Taking care of my mindset
📸 Documenting these final weeks

And probably the most important rule:

There is no perfection.

No starting over because I had a hard day.
No forcing a workout when my body needs rest.
No guilt for choosing recovery.
No “failing” because pregnancy doesn’t go according to plan.

The goal is simply to show up for myself and my baby every day. 🤍

So here we go…

50 days. One final stretch.

One minute. One deep squat. That’s it.🤰🏽

Deep squatting during pregnancy can be a simple way to practice spending time in a position that may feel useful during birth — without turning everything into a workout.

No reps. No rushing. Just breathing, relaxing, and getting comfortable.

33-ish weeks and very much in my “prepare for birth without making everything complicated” era. 😂

Save this one for later, mama. 🫶🏽

You don’t need an hour-long workout to feel like you’ve done something. Sometimes 10 minutes is what you have — and that’s enough.

Try this full-body reset:

• Squats: 10–12
• DB rows: 10–12
• Glute bridges: 12–15
• Wall/elevated push-ups: 8–12
• DB shoulder press: 8–12
• March in place: 30 sec

*not filmed were my wall pushups as I had to do them in the crèche because my daughter started crying 😩🤣*

Complete 2–3 rounds.

Save this for the days when motherhood is chaos, your to-do list is never-ending, and you still want to move your body.

This is the exact kind of workout I created my Busy Mama Reset for — simple, realistic movement for busy mamas. 🤍

31 weeks pregnant + first gym session since landing back in NZ.

After 4 days of unpacking, cleaning, recovering from travel and getting back into normal life… I finally made it to the gym.

And it felt SO good to move again. 🥹

Nothing crazy — just a full-body session, 3x10 each:

• RDLs
• Hammer curl + press
• Lateral step-ups
• Bent-over rows
• Pulse squats
• Bird dog lateral shifts

Got a good sweat in, moved my body, and left feeling SO much better than when I walked in.

And it honestly feels fitting that I’m doing my own little reset right now… because TOMORROW I’m launching something I’ve been working on for you mamas. 🥹🤍

✨ The Busy Mama Reset ✨

A simple guide for those seasons when life is BUSY, routines go out the window and you just need something realistic to help you get moving, eating well and feeling like yourself again.

No hours at the gym.
No complicated meal plans.
No “perfect” routine required.

Just simple, realistic things you can actually fit into mama life.

Launching TOMORROW for $9 🤍
(Then $12 after the first month.)

I can’t wait to finally share it with you. 🥹
