Kat BrightGUEST
And I, and I will say, like, you know, especially if anyone's listening, I mean, eh, I would say, like, I had two polar opposites preg- two polar opposite pregnancies, one where I was so active during it, and the second one I was blindsided by extreme high risk, uh, where, um, from day one, I was on restrictions.

Kat BrightGUEST
I was, I was bedridden the entire pregnancy until, um, the emergency C-section at 32 weeks.

Kat BrightGUEST
And then, um, there was a ton of things after that, and then having a premature baby.

Kat BrightGUEST
And so it's like, um, you know, y- there are things you can do when pregnant, um, but also, yeah, stay active during it.

Kat BrightGUEST
But if there are in restrictions due to the nature of the pregnancy, all is not lost.

Kat BrightGUEST
And it is one that I was actually going into the FKT really fully launching that training plan.

Kat BrightGUEST
I will say like the specific training plan, one of my goals was to come out the other end, not burnt out.

Kat BrightGUEST
I told my coach when I finish the FKT, whatever that attempt looked like, I was like, whether I, depending on how it went, I was like, Hopefully I'm successful.
