Going from maybe the best shape of my life back into my pregnancy body again has been incredibly challenging, both mentally and physically.
I think us fitness professionals can make it look a little too easy.
We don’t talk enough about…
The emotional toll of watching your body change. It’s not vanity, it’s reality, and it’s hard.
The mental load of having to work through a new identity as a woman, and now mother.
The physical changes that force you to go slower with more modifications than you had ever imagined.
The loss of control in basically every aspect of your life - including your time.
The changes between you and your partner, your family, your friends, your co-workers… the list goes on.
I hope other moms see this and know, we are all in this together. Even though every pregnancy is different, there are great equalizers in the process that allow you to connect and sympathize with other women as they navigate the biggest change in their lives.
