Educational, not medical

The information on this site and provided in Erst's fitness and education services is for general educational purposes only. It is not medical advice, and it is not a substitute for care from your physician, midwife, or other qualified healthcare provider.

Talk to your provider first

Always consult your healthcare provider before beginning or changing an exercise program during pregnancy or postpartum, and about any questions you have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard or delay professional medical advice because of something you read here.

Scope of practice

Erst's services are provided by a certified childbirth educator, trained birth doula, and certified perinatal fitness specialist — not a physician. Where a medical condition is being treated, Erst works alongside your medical team and does not diagnose, treat, or manage medical conditions.

Emergencies

If you think you may be experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or contact your healthcare provider immediately.
