I am getting the itch to exercise 🏃🏻♀️...anyone else 🤪🙃? Me! I used to algo on the treadmill before the kids woke up. I've been too tired lately to do that, and now that ds3 is 6 weeks I really should start. I play in a women's soccer league, so I need to be a little in shape by the time the spring season begins.

I can’t wait to get back to exercising! I miss Orangetheory so badly. I don’t know if I can afford to go back to my monthly membership but maybe I’ll buy a class pass and use it when I can. I also plan to do the Mommy Trainer programs again. I loved those after I had DD.

I have been so weepy the last couple days. Listening or watching anything birth related has me in tears. Snuggling with my boys makes me emotional. I just can't with anything at this point.

I was going through my pump parts for my new Spectra and I feel like maybe the flanges are going to be too big but sizing of them has always confused me which I'm sure has never helped my pumping adventures in the past. Help?

I am getting the itch to exercise 🏃🏻♀️...anyone else 🤪🙃? Yes!!! I’ve started some pelvic floor and deep core activation exercises. I think next week I’ll start up mall walking more consistently.

I am getting the itch to exercise 🏃🏻♀️...anyone else 🤪🙃? Yes! I actually got out my 5-lb weights today to start some very light work on my arms. I’m not going to push it though - I tried to crawl through DS’s tunnel with him today and quickly remembered that my core is a complete wreck.

I’ve been having regular contractions since 12, but they’re more uncomfortable than painful. I’m ready for either outcome and mostly succeeding at not psyching myself out like last time. I hope I’m able to get some sleep though— I could really use it.

notagoddess ooh that sounds promising. How far apart are they? I just downloaded a timer and they’re less than 2 minutes apart right now. Definitely getting more painful too. But still not as painful as they were last time.

2.5 minutes apart for the past hour, 55 seconds average. I think it’s time to call my mom! She’s my childcare and 1.5 hours away.

I am ready, but I feel like I don't know where to start! So I’m doing a lot of “PT”type exercises, bc I can’t help myself haha Working to purposefully activating my pelvic floor muscles with kegels/elevators in a hooklying (back with knees bent) position, then on my side. On my back, looking to find my deep core muscles through using my breath. Relaxing as I raise and open my diaphragm and engaging on the exhale. Then in that position, challenging the core with things like marches, leg raises and bridges. There’s a few people to follow on Instagram that have some good stuff @goodfortheswole @deliciouslyfitnhealthy @thebloommethod

Things stopped around 2am. This was after my mom had driven to stay with DD. I couldn’t sleep all night and I feel awful. I have an OB appointment later this morning. I’m going to ask about induction because I’m an anxious mess over all of this.

I’m having pink discharge though. Is that a sign of losing my MP? I’ll ask the OB but curious if anyone had any experience.
