I don’t think the answer is the same for everyone. For me, it was knowing I was the fittest I had ever been when I got pregnant with my third beautiful baby. I had worked so hard to get to that point. My original goal was to work as hard as I could to maintain that during the pregnancy. I got sick for about nine weeks with a ‘bronchial thing’ as my doctor called it. It made it very difficult and painful to breathe. My fitness took a hit. A bit one. On the good days I could walk at a super slow pace. This was not a way to maintain fitness. Eventually I recovered from that and then the third trimester hit. Again, it was hard to breathe and move. Really hard.
I have been wanting to get back to fitness and in the meantime, I’ve been ashamed of how my body looks. But why? If this isn’t how a body is supposed to look after having a baby? How IS it supposed to look? This is how my body looks. The fitness will come in time. Will my body change as I get back to fit? Probably. In the meantime, I’m going to enjoy each of my children who came from my body.
