You just grew a whole human (or maybe even more than one) inside your body! Let that sink in for a second.
Then, you delivered that human through your vagina or an incision made through all of your abdominal tissue (muscles and other connective tissue). Now let that sink in…
Carrying a baby and childbirth can be beautiful experiences (though they certainly aren’t for all of us), but they’re still A LOT on your body!
Physical therapy or at the very least intentional rehab is prescribed for nearly every other injury or surgery, you deserve the same after growing and birthing a human!!!
While it’s unfortunately still not standard practice, I highly recommend you seek out the care of a pelvic floor physical therapist at some point in these first few months postpartum.
This Postpartum Exercise Blueprint is also a great place to start!
Technically, I'm supposed to tell you to wait until you are cleared for exercise to start. However, the outdated 6 week check point is simultaneously too soon for some things (like getting back to higher intensity/impact exercise) but too late for others (like beginning the activities outlined in this blueprint). You can begin the first set of moves as early as 2-4 weeks postpartum. Then, devote 2-3 weeks for each phase.

You can come back stronger than ever, but it takes more than just simply listening to your body and going slow. We need to be intentional (and patient)!
