Postpartum with Amanda
Amanda Isaac Coaching
Growing a Baby is Hard!!!
Pregnancy and birth involve so many physical and emotional changes and there can be this pressure to want to “bounce back”.
The 4th trimester is a journey in its own right and my belief is that this period should be spent caring for yourself and your new baby. I know just how hard it can be to put yourself 1st after having children. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. Perhaps you are experiencing pelvic dysfunction symptoms (leaking, pain, heaviness, prolapse…) or core weakness (bulging abdominals, abdominal separation or back pain…).
As a “Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist”, I believe every postpartum woman should have access to recovery care!
I know how you're feeling: I'VE BEEN THERE!
Hi, I’m Amanda and I know exactly how you feel. I’ve experienced diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction after the birth of both my babies. Let me share a story of how I came to learn more about these not so openly discussed postpartum issues.
During my pregnancy I was very active, running and training in the gym. I was careful and followed exercise guidelines but looking back I realize how little I knew. After giving birth to my first baby, I decided I needed to get back to my old self as fast as possible. I needed to feel challenged again. I decided to run a 10km race with the goal of running it under 57 minutes.
While training I started to suffer from pelvic, hip pain and little dribbles. Being a nurse and having read about the possible after birth complications I knew deep down I should probably stop, but I kept going because sometimes I am just stubborn. Along came race day and I could feel that it would be a struggle. During the race I was in so much pain. My back was aching, my hips felt weak and then I full on peed myself. Thankfully for me it was pouring rain!! Honestly at one point it felt like my uterus was going to fall out of my body. I PERSISTED!! I finished that dreadful race in 57 minutes and 44 seconds! I nearly made my goal but I was feeling utterly defeated!
I understood that I needed serious help. I was not able to find the right support with the resources around me, so I did it myself.
