Postpartum Series
I have taken an extremely cautious and slow approach to my postpartum recovery this time and I would urge any new Mums to do the same.
After 3 weeks of doing nothing, today I take to the mat to start to stretch it out and engage my core and pelvic floor.
Postpartum recovery will look different for everyone, so just to say this worked for me does not mean it will work for you too.
My movements today were also based off a vaginal delivery and not a C Section - if you had a section not all these moves may feel right for you.
Regardless GP clearance is always advisable before undertaking any movement postpartum.
If in doubt - sit it out.
