Those very first few weeks after birth are tough - adapting to a new way of life and your whole life all of a sudden never being the same again!!
For me I cried most days, hormones all over the shop, fatigue and the last thing I wanted to do was any form of exercise! Although I knew how important it was to be able to do something as soon as I felt able to to assist with recovery.
Being pregnant you have a higher likelihood of having pelvic floor dysfunction than a women who hasn’t been pregnant so it is so important to make sure, before anything, that your core and pelvic floor are functioning well before performing more intense exercise.
Your main goals at first should be recovering from birth, resting, and establishing gentle movements initially such as pelvic tilts, knee rolls, leg slides etc, along with good breathing patterns and the core pelvic floor connection. Comment CB below and ill send you the link direct to me explaining how to perform the connection breath!
