What is "MumSafe" with Jen Dugard

In this episode, I'm joined by Jen Dugard.

Jen Dugard is the founder of  MumSafe, creator of Safe return to Exercise certification and author of How to Love your Body as much as your Baby..

In this episode we take a deep dive into what MumSafe is, why it exists, and why safe, well-informed exercise guidance is so essential for every pregnant and postpartum woman.

Together, we explore:

• The importance of training in facilities that understand pregnancy and postpartum needs, and how this protects women from injury

• Current exercise guidelines and how to prepare your body for birth

• Pelvic floor awareness and why it should underpin all training

• What women should look for when choosing a trainer or gym — including red flags and must-ask questions

• What gold-standard screening looks like in practice

• How to tell if a gym is genuinely pelvic-floor aware (including language, progression, and what NOT to hear)

• The Mumsafe model, what makes it unique, and the ongoing education required for all Mumsafe trainers

• How systems advocacy and public health awareness could transform the way we support mothers
