Rating my pregnancies and postpartum experiences from easiest to hardest 🤍🤰🤱
Every pregnancy, every postpartum season, and every baby is different — even in the same body. I went into pregnancy expecting a “fit pregnancy” and learned quickly that expectations don’t always match reality.
Pelvic pain, changing energy, mental health shifts, breastfeeding, postpartum recovery, and the transition from one baby to two… and then three — each season asked something different of me.
Some pregnancies were physically harder.
Some postpartum periods were emotionally heavier.
And some seasons surprised me in the best ways.
As a prenatal and postpartum fitness coach, I see this all the time: comparison steals compassion. Your experience doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s to be valid. 🫶🏼
Whether you’re navigating pelvic floor symptoms, postpartum recovery, diastasis recti, newborn life, or the mental load of motherhood, your body is not failing — it’s adapting.
I’m gently mourning the end of my newborn chapters while feeling deeply grateful for this new season of watching my babies grow.
Getting to be their mama through every phase is something I’ll never take for granted 🤍
If you’re pregnant, newly postpartum, or deep in the motherhood season — you’re not alone here.🩷
