We're excited to share that Expect has been featured by Yahoo! Health as a top holiday gift recommendation for pregnant women. Laura Williams, Senior Health Editor at Yahoo! Health and a mom of two expecting her third, included Expect in her comprehensive gift guide—positioning us among the top five brands highlighted at the beginning of the piece.

Why Expect stood out:

Laura highlights that getting enough exercise during pregnancy can significantly reduce pregnancy symptoms, ease aches and pains, and help reduce the risk of conditions like preeclampsia and gestational diabetes. She notes that for pregnant people unsure about where to begin, "gifting a subscription to the Expect app can eliminate some of the guesswork."

She describes Expect as featuring "a wide range of exercise routines (including cardio, strength training, dancing and even labor prep) all approved for safety and efficacy by ob-gyns." The article also references supporting research on the benefits of pregnancy fitness, reinforcing what we've built our platform around: evidence-based, doctor-approved movement for every stage of pregnancy and postpartum.

What this means:

This recognition from a major health media outlet underscores the growing awareness that maternal fitness isn't optional—it's essential healthcare. As the only prenatal, postnatal, and pelvic floor fitness platform where every workout is approved by practicing OB/GYNs, Expect fills a critical gap in maternal care.

We're grateful to Laura Williams for recognizing the work we're doing and for helping more people discover safe, effective fitness resources during one of life's most transformative times.
