Climbing 2 months postpartum means doing easy climbs I would have previously ignored and feeling really happy to have done them 🤩
(making it to the wall is a win in itself 😅)

Celebrating 1 month with the little one 🥰 I used to think having a child would be the opposite of a climbing life (which I love and was worried about having to give it up). Unexpectedly, I’ve discovered it actually features a lot of the same things I like about going climbing 🐵 A deeply immersive, high challenge high reward, eye opening experience! 🌅

🤰Weeks 35-39 - the final stretch!

It’s mostly been gentle walks, mobility and doing a few exercises here and there.

I’ve been thinking of pregnancy as the ‘warm up’, and that it is preparing me for what’s to come. Over the last 9 months these are the biggest lessons I’ve learned:

1️⃣ Be adaptable
Previous habits and ways of doing things can stop being feasible very quickly. Don’t waste time fighting it, get on with finding the new way.

2️⃣ Learn to be ok with physical discomfort
As a climber, I really love the feeling of my body being strong, mobile and energetic. I’m learning to let this go and be ok with feeling a bit rubbish most of the time. The less attached I am to this, the less upset I get, the happier I can be everyday 🙂

3️⃣ Enjoy the novelty and adventure
It’s been fun in learning new topics (parenting 😱) and I’ve gained many new perspectives in the process.
