Today is Eszter’s Pregnancy & Postpartum Journey 🤍
Up until the beginning of month 9, I was still hitting the gym regularly and honestly, it felt great. One of the biggest perks? There was always a bathroom nearby 🤣. Long walks outside were a definite no for me for that reason alone!
Then came my C-section. By day 3 postpartum, I was already walking to the pediatrician on my own. At 6 months postpartum, my doctor finally cleared me to return to exercise properly, and I only started running again around month 9. My abdominal muscles never separated, but looking back, I probably could have started moving sooner. With a first pregnancy, though, we tend to follow every doctor’s instruction to the letter 🤣🤣.
I am incredibly grateful to everyone who encouraged me to keep moving, even on the days when I had absolutely no motivation. They were right: starting gentle movement early made my recovery faster and much smoother. My recovery was quick and pain-free, and I truly believe staying active played a huge role in that.
The abs will come back… or maybe they won’t 😅. At 41, I’m not in a rush anymore. With the time, energy, and budget I could realistically dedicate while raising this little one, I think I did pretty well.
And I’ve been up in the skies since then for duty.
