Hey mama, workout with me #1

So, I’m super excited! My doctor cleared me to be able to workout. Prior to this approval, I could only go walking and resume normal household activities due to my C-section incision needing to heal.

The news of being able to resume working out was such wonderful news, because working out has been a tool I would utilize to help stabilize my bp prior to pregnancy. Around about the 5th day after giving birth, while in the hospital, my bp shot up enormously. I was then labeled postpartum preeclampsia and had to stay 2 extra days. Because of my chosen path of bringing forth life, I could not utilize working out to stabilize my bp until clearing.

Below is a snippet of me working out almost immediately after receiving the good news from my pcp. I was so elated and ready to workout, that I held my little one while doing the workout because he wouldn’t let me put him down.

Though my workout was not as intense due to my workout buddy for the day, it felt great!
