32 Weeks Pregnant - back pain in pregnancy and abdominal separation (aka diastasis recti)
I’ve had a bit of upper and mid back pain this week as my abs have really let go, and the weight of my uterus and baby is pulling my upper body forward. I need to be very mindful of posture and of engaging my core. But I’m also feeling very motivated to really focus on building up the muscle in my abs and back after I close up my diastasis recti postpartum!
9 Weeks Pregnant - a milestone
9 weeks is always a bit of a milestone for me as a mum who’s experienced pregnancy loss, since I was 9 weeks when my body let go of my first baby. So to get to this point knowing that the pregnancy is going well is always a relief. And yes, I know pregnancy loss can happen any time, earlier or later, but I also think it’s normal to have our own milestones based on our own experiences. We just can't take life for granted, and I am so thankful for the growing life inside of me 🥰
