    Wow has it been 6 weeks already? When I joined gyms after both my kids births I had to have passed the 6 week mark or at least have a letter from my ob to say I had been approved to do gym work!

    The class was A LOT harder than what i thought it would be.

    I couldn't do most of the moves as they involved jumping around so i just pretended i was. The worst was needing to pee halfway through all the moving around wasn't good for my poor bladder so that was awkward having to excuse myself.

    I talked to the instructor afterwards and told her i had just had a baby so thats why i sometimes was standing there or when i was supposed to be jumping or whatever i was only half doing it but she said she understood

    I've decided it was too soon to do anything like that, and i was worried that i would bleed lots starting exercising but nope if anything its slowed it down.

    My back/hips and pelvis were awful after having kailey and since walking and i did half an hour on a bike its stretched everything out so i feel much better

    Oh i also mentioned when i signed up that i had just had a baby and they had no issues just cant do any weights or go too hard on the machines.
