When will depend on you and your recovery. Start slow with strength building exercises, particularly for your stomach where your abs have stretched.

Look up abdominal diastesis, you can self check to see if you have a gap. Then look at postpartum core exercises and make sure you include 360/deep breathing. Also work on your pelvic floor.

Once your happy enough with your core and pelvic floor you can build up the impact you put on to it. I did low intensity exercise first with Pilates, swimming etc and have only just started trying to run with couch to 5k

I had an emergency c section 13 weeks ago and I was up and walking on the second day, so I increased my walking distance to start. I started deep breathing and pelvic floor exercises on week 2. I was back in the gym on week 6 after clearance from my doctor, although the only advice I was given was to avoid heavy weight and low reps, so I was doing low weight high reps up until recently.

I'm a certified weight loss coach, so a friendly reminder that you can't spot reduce fat. So keep track of calories and increase any movement that you enjoy ☺️

This is a bit strange.. but hear me out

I am 36 weeks and 4 days today.
I had that feeling, you know when you are trying to take a tampon out on your end of period and it kind of hurts because the tampon is dry? I had that sensation today?

Now I feel like I have to push something about my vagina? It kinda tickles but uncomfortable. I’m not having any pains at all anywhere btw so can’t be baby ??

Girl names

We have an Elsie and we nickname her “Elsa” like queen elsa from frozen

If we have a girl my husband would love a spin on “anna” without actually calling her Anna lol

What names are similar to Anna / could be a play on words?

I’ve said Aria but I don’t know any others
