HANNA'S POST-NATAL PROGRESS

“Hi Lauren! I wanted to send thanks & love your way. 4 years ago my husband and I started trying for a baby. Over the course of that time we experienced 4 losses, months of negative tests, countless failed procedures, you name it. (I remember your blog about your path to motherhood so I know you know how lonely and isolating it can be). During that time I felt like I lost so much of myself and everything revolved around doing what was best to get pregnant. One of the things that remained consistent though and truly one of the only things that made me feel like “me” was the 50 min. I spent every day doing your workout. I modified everything to keep it grounded and made some substitutions where I had to, but it was so doable and really brought me back to my old self. I honestly don’t know that I would’ve survived mentally without it.
The happy news is that 11 weeks ago I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. I continued Studio LB throughout my entire pregnancy until the day I was induced. At 4 weeks I started to slowly add in your workouts and again they have truly helped keep me sane as I navigate new motherhood. I was worried about Diastasis recti b/c of my short torso / small build. I also have heard so many horror stories about pelvic floor issues after pregnancy (can’t tell you how many people said I would want to switch workouts bc I’d be peeing myself when jumping) - but I’m happy to report neither of those have been issues for me. I credit this to you - you’re constantly reminding us to pull up on our pelvic floor and pull our abs in and I think that has made all the difference. Anyways - Just wanted you to know I appreciate you and what you’ve created for us. Sending a before / after (39 weeks pregnant vs. today at 1 day shy of 11 weeks postpartum) thank you!!” ❤️❤️
