You just gave birth to this sweet bundle of joy and now you’re circling through feelings of exhaustion, euphoria, frustration, overwhelm—and did we mention exhaustion? You might now be wondering when and if you’ll return to your pre-pregnancy clothes and how long it’ll take you to lose the weight.
The most important thing you need to focus on other than your baby is healing. Getting your body back to some sense of normalcy will take time. Remember, this baby took over your body for nearly 10 months. You have a new figure that gave birth and chances are, it’ll look different than where you were before—so be prepared to be okay with that. Take time to celebrate this body that grew and gave birth to a human.
When you’re ready to start thinking about reaching your health and fitness goals, fitness expert Sarah Bradford, a pre and postnatal fitness specialist, founder of LUNA Mother Collective, and Fitbit health coach, Miranda Canfield, MS, RDN, CD, have tips on how to get started—once you’ve been cleared to start exercising by your doctor.
