I have been a MUTU Mama for four years! Using <a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/mutu-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">MUTU as prenatal exercise <\/a>had many benefits I want to talk about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve had four pregnancies and have five kids, which includes one set of twins. I began MUTU after having my twins, used for prenatal exercise during 3rd pregnancy, and continued pre and postnatally during and my 4th pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Prenatal Exercise with MUTU | Crista\u2019s Story\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/U2axc_D2SNY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>MUTU was so beneficial during my pregnancies for prenatal exercise and I credit it as one of the main factors that helped me have a vaginal delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It helped my mental state during lockdown &amp; pregnancy. It also prepped my body for labor and delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After giving birth MUTU helped me postpartum. After having my twins I had a 4 finger diastasis recti and MUTU healed that. I used MUTU again to heal postpartum after baby #5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at having MUTU vs not having MUTU during pregnancy to use as a prenatal exercise and postpartum I can feel how MUTU positively impacted my experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/10things-pregnancy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Pregnancy-10-things-display-ad-1024x384.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Pregnancy-10-things-display-ad-1024x384.png 1024w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Pregnancy-10-things-display-ad-500x188.png 500w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Pregnancy-10-things-display-ad-768x288.png 768w, https:\/\/mutusystem.com\/en-us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/08\/Pregnancy-10-things-display-ad.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>MUTU helped me prepare for birth and postpartum by teaching me proper engagement and also how to fully relax. I\u2019m not great at relaxing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My body image is way better. My body also isn\u2019t experiencing painful flare-ups like it did when I tried to go back to working out postpartum prior to MUTU. I feel confident and able to do all the crazy things I do as a mom of 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>MUTU also helped my mental health! MUTU is the one thing I do for myself. It always clears my head and makes me feel so much better. I feel like I\u2019m a better mom with MUTU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For any mamas going through a pregnancy and thinking of investing in MUTU for prenatal exercise I would say- Do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>It\u2019s the best investment I\u2019ve made for myself and for my family.
