I let my self go 🤦‍♀️🥴

I’m so sorry that you feel like that, my first and only pregnancy was a bad experience because I didn’t gain weight, I lost it and it was a huge thing in my life , I was always throwing up and I couldn’t process any food without feeling nausea, I understand every mom will tell you different stories or the simple “hope you feel better” but in my case was always important to vent because isn’t okay to keep all those things inside of us in silence. This is just a process, unfortunately pregnancy is the proof of how strong we are , an I said unfortunately because for some mothers are really tough. Of course I hope you feel better but always remind yourself to find support in people who love you and will help you in this process. We can chat anytime ☺️

Give yourself some time, your body is working overtime to build an entire human. Before getting pregnant, I was very active and loved working out. I continued to workout in my first trimester but then severe pelvic pain and crazy fatigue hit me. I didn’t really have much of a choice but rest. It drove me crazy and I stressed about my weight and how I’m gonna handle it postpartum. I told myself that I’m not gonna risk injury or my health because keeping this baby healthy and having a healthy delivery are the most important. I did what I can with exercise ball, stretching, and a walking pad. Fast forward to having my baby and I had a complicated labor and ended up having a longer recovery time than expected. But when I was finally able to, I slowly started getting active again and got into a consistent routine. I’m almost 4 months postpartum and though there are days where I hate how I feel and how my body is, I need to keep reminding myself that I just had a baby, and it’ll take time.

Girl if it makes you feel any better I gained wayyyy too much and also dealt with the carbs I am disgusted with myself. Pre pregnancy was 119 delivery was 195 now 175 and 3months pp

You’re pregnant, not letting yourself go!! Remember, cravings serve a purpose depending on what your baby needs. I was really sick like that with my baby girl but she was born perfectly healthy. It’s just for now, it’s ok to just rest. I was really active before my pregnancy and just stopped everything not even halfway through. All my muscle disappeared too but I had horrible pelvic pain. I felt amazing once I delivered, the end is near. Walks and stretching is good for you but don’t torture yourself over it. I really feel like the min/max weight you should gain during pregnancy is bs. Be kind to yourself girlie 🫶

Yessss!!! I was 125 pre pregnancy and was very active and fit. At delivery I was 190 and after delivery I was 180 for the longest time maybe even 5 months pp. I was having a hard time managing my diet and just did not have the time or energy or the mental energy to get myself to workout. I would do my daily walks with my baby but only that. I’m now 9 months pp and I’m only now starting to she doff the weight since baby girl has now gotten better at sleeping and there is more routine in my day. It’s hard hienstly and it’s hard to explain to others who haven’t experienced it because it’s like you want it so bad yet are unable to get yourself to do it even though you know you’re capable of doing it because you’ve seen yourself fit pre pregnancy. Pp is more mental than physical at times even though the physical aspect is also intense
