3 weeks postpartum C-section recovery to exercise 🥰

[rmartinez]

😮😮😮😮 you scared me to death!! It takes a good 6 months to completely heal from birth trauma!!! Heavy lifting will cause prolapse & bladder leakage. Speaking from experience. This is really old women's advice: find a good solid, supportive girdle & wear it!!! It will help support your muscles & give them a chance to heal. My mother in law told me this & it really does help!! I had 5 kids, always on the heavy side, & I lifted big weights in the gym & at work. I eventually prolapsed twice, had surgery to fix twice, prolapsed 3rd time. Walking & being kind to yourself is the best thing you can do for yourself & your family!! Best wishes!🥰🥰🥰

I learned today that tendons and ligaments are still lax from all the pre-birth hormonal changes until ~4 months postpartum 🤯 you’ll be back at it soon enough, you’re so much more active than I was postpartum and I know your daughter loves the snuggle walks 🥰

As a nurse I almost freaked out lol but then read the rest and calmed immediately 😆

Took me a year and a half after my Csection to finally step in a gym again, the pain was just too much in the scar site and my baby needed me and i aint no richbish! I cant afford a nanny! Proud of you for putting your child first and letting yourself recover at a healthy pace.

AYYEEE! You are STRONG sis 💪🏾 I love it 🥰

[emily.decloux]

Omg i was so worried that you jumped back in so quickly! And my brain does the exact same thing, ACK. We’ll be back in no time! Congrats on the baby!

Be careful mama, I simply started walking like you, and my stitches began crusting blood a bit and blood pooling under the skin, I immediately stopped, and from my personal exercise c section requires a lot of rest, my first was c section and second vaginal, I definitely overdid it with my first and my body wa aching and felt weak for more than a year, while second time I recovered around two months

Oh I felt this. I had my son normal, but I wanted to run and do everything as if nothing had happened. I feel you girl, I feel you

[Hoduken]

W Its always amazing to see stuff like this, dont stop doing what you’re doing.

I recently ran across your videos and I have a similar body type and I'm pregnant right now.. I was feeling down about what might come after delivery.. but im hoping to use your videos as inspiration to get back up again and bring my body back to a state I can feel great after this baby comes. Thank you for normalizing all shapes!! ❤❤❤

I recovered from my c section really quickly. Everyone was like “wow youre doing great!” Barely a week after and no one would have had any idea I just had a baby let alone a c section. And in hindsight I think it did more damage. I rarely allowed my self to just rest and be with my baby. I felt like since I was recovering so quickly I should be doing stuff around the house or getting work done. I wish I had just taken it easy and enjoyed my tiny little newborn…

Lymphatic drainage belly massages were great for me postPartum.

Congrats mama! You are looking good! You are doing it! You are doing so much, and believe that it’s enough!

[missred]

You go girl! Do u! Be kind to yourself and KNOW it takes time and effort. As women we take time to heal and the internal swelling is real

[TheCombatWombat]

GET IT MOMMA!!

definitely take it easy while you recover, take some mental health days, you just made a whole human being! You need to be both physically and mentally strong and healthy for your baby. ❤❤❤

After my c-section, my ab muscles were so sore as they healed. At first, I couldn't believe anyone could do such workouts after surgery. Whew! Glad you explained!!❤
