Gina’s Fourth Postpartum Journey

In this episode Gina and Roxanne discuss Gina's personal postpartum recovery journey four weeks after giving birth. They outline the postpartum healing timeline, emphasizing the importance of rest during the first ten days to prevent overexertion. Gina shares her personal experiences, challenges, and the supportive measures she took to ensure a smooth recovery, including listening to her body's signals to avoid pushing herself too soon. The episode also covers managing postpartum emotions, mental health guidance, and a cautious return to fitness, with practical tips and resources available. They highlight the importance of watching for signs of overexertion, such as increased bleeding or pelvic floor heaviness, and discuss the option of seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist before resuming exercise. Finally, they introduce supportive resources available through the MamasteFit platform and stress the importance of addressing postpartum mental health concerns.
