Pregnancy and BJJ: Livia Giles talks lifting, rolling and Childbirth
From Bulletproof For BJJ
Can you do BJJ while pregnant? Is it safe to roll with a bun in the oven? Livia Giles is known for being one of Australia's best female Black belt competitors, top athlete and BJJ instructor. She is now a mother of 2 and trained her way through both pregnancies up unto a certain point. She speaks on getting a good obstetrician, feeling super strong while pregnant and lifting and BJJ positions you really need to avoid.
Communication and choosing the right training partners was a big piece of the puzzle for safety with both her and her baby. This is an incredibly insightful discussion on a very unique situation that faces women who want to keep up their Jiu-Jitsu while pregnant.
