Today I’m 13 weeks postpartum. This morning after our 4:30am breastfeeding (and pumping) session I went for a run.
It was my first run since January 19th when I was just shy of being 6 months pregnant.
My first run since I had my daughter after 32 hours of labor and a c-section.
Like everyone who’s post-pregnancy my body is different. Sometimes it’s weird and doesn’t feel “normal” or how I’m used to it feeling. But I’ve been putting in my time on my yoga mat. Reacquainting with how I feel - what’s different and new (and weird). I’ve been doing Yoga Therapy work to help my pelvic floor and low back recover after labor. Some days are harder than others. I’m always reminding myself - everyone heals differently, and at their own pace.
But today - today I went for a run. I wasn’t fast, but neither is healing.
It was hard and it was awesome. And later today I’m going to take a nap.
I’d love to help you heal and get back to the things that you want to do. Whether you’re postpartum or just needing an opportunity to focus on how you feel.
