    Looking for C section experiences

    @praskovia I'm not a lifter, but a runner. I've had 2 c-sections. The first was emergency, the second was scheduled. Similar to you, my babies just do not like to flip and were breech/footling breech. I found the recovery from my second procedure a lot easier, but you need to realize that they...

    Is walking good enough if I can’t run anymore?

    @sherithorb I totally get it. We are so much better at having empathy for our kids and other moms, but seem to throw the advice out the window when it's about looking after ourselves. It's okay.

    Did any of y’all lose weight AFTER weaning??

    @nith I had a lot more energy once I weaned, so I could up the intensity and frequency of my runs. Plus, I wasn't starving to death all the time like I was when I was nursing. I didn't gain while nursing, but I also couldn't lose...and that was really important at the time. I was able to lose...
