@orthodoxkid2997 Oh wow I’m sorry this happened to you. Thanks for sharing.

@neostarwcc Yeah I have a great pelvic floor PT who I started seeing while pregnant

@juliedowntherabbithole Thanks!! Definitely agree it’s too soon to dive into a run or any intense workout but I’m dying for a light yoga and to have a tiny sweat

@outofplace_christian Yeah exercise is defined differently for everyone so I’m looking to get a sense of what others have/haven’t done during postpartum. Many have incorrectly assumed I meant high intensity workout but that’s not the inherent definition of exercise. Some people aren’t even...

@delek Thanks for sharing. I’m the same way in needing to exercise (aka do some physical movement) for mental health. Plus sitting all day in weird positions as I breastfeed, baby naps on me, etc is causing me to get sore in weird places so the stretching has definitely been necessary

@ladymo Congratulations! I gave birth on Jan 4 and was able to easily walk right after birth without pain (meaning to and from the bathroom, around the house… not going on out for walks). I was so exhausted overall that I was in bed or on the couch for the week after giving birth - minus 2 short...

@nattyz Completely agree. I’ve been walking and stretching.

@jmldn2 This is so inspiring!!! I’m happy for you and thank you for sharing. So far I’ve been active throughout pregnancy, eating healthy and having to cut alcohol and other unhealthy things I oddly feel more healthy now than before. Don’t get me wrong I find many aspects of pregnancy difficult...

@luancada Thanks for sharing!

@lexiheigh Thanks for sharing! I had to stop running early in pregnancy due to pelvic pain so I’m already used to having to shift my workout to accommodate my changing body. I worked out right until I was induced at 41.5 weeks, but at that point it was walking at a snail’s pace with no incline...

@janecruz Great to hear! I’m also on peloton and loved the prenatal content but haven’t dipped into the pp workouts yet. The other day I was thinking some light arm weights might feel nice- I’m already carrying around a 10lb newborn, 3-5 lb weights should be fine!

@amirbekhit Interesting, thanks for the tips!

@dagger311 So many great ideas here, thanks!

@laterrainfot My original post was clear in saying that 1. I’m adhering to guidance to rest 2. I’ve done a few very slow walks at short duration 3. I’ve done some light stretches that I saw on Instagram. You assumed the rest.

@spiritglove Thanks! I bought individually packaged raw nuts from Whole Foods in first trimester and now typically always have these on hand. While more expensive than buying a big bag, helps with portion control and is easy

@laterrainfot I didn’t say I was taking their advice or following them as though they’re medical professionals. As I commented to someone else, the ones I came across were some deep breathing and very gentle stretches.

@outofplace_christian Ooo never tried stuffing dates, thanks for the tip! I was really full in first trimester but have been feeling normal enough to resume my regular eating schedule throughout 2nd. But good to know that feeling may return in 3rd.

@eb231 Thanks

@psalm6819 Yeah she’s one of the people I follow. Super gentle movement.

@creexpl Oh yes I certainly agree with having treats. I won’t tell you how many pints of ice cream are in my fridge… I prefer to save mine for after dinner when I’m on the couch rather than the 3pm slump or drive home from work.
