Postpartum Recovery (Stretches and Postpartum Kegel Exercises For The First 6 Weeks Postpartum)

[@OddmentTweak]

I used your videos throughout pregnancy and had an amazing, empowering and unmedicated labor and now I'm back for my postpartum journey! Thank you SO much for this wonderful channel!!

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations on your new baby and I’m so happy you got the birth you wanted! Thank you so much for joining me on your journey 💞

[@tanjavlasic2871]

Same here!! Thank you so much!!!

[@nigistigorado6962]

Same here🙌🏾🙌🏾 she is so amazing

[@praj2389]

Same here, I had a baby last week. I had such an amazing pregnancy. I also had unmedicated childbirth, it was not so easy and I have a second degree tear but I felt so strong throughout my labor. I had heard my friends telling me how they were exhausted, lost all energy and had to go for interventions like epidural or c section. I was in labor for a total of 11 hours and pushed for 2 hours but not once did I feel I lack stamina or energy. I did your workouts till the time I got my labor and I am so looking forward to starting my postpartum journey with you.

[@dominatryphone7027]

Same here

[@helenalynchboone9168]

Just had a whirlwind of an unmedicated 5 hour labor at my birthing center. I truly believe these workouts prepared my body and my baby for a fast, easy, and safe delivery! I’m back for your postpartum videos! Thank you for all you do!

[@AlexandraBurdette-j8d]

You're amazing! On 10/10 I delivered my baby boy in less than 7 hours. It was truly a transformative, incredible experience. Thank you for your guidance in these workouts and bits of wisdom. 💓☺️ Wishing you and your family the best

[@charusharma9650]

Conceived with your workouts Sustained my pregnancy with your workouts Delivered naturally with your workouts (shorted labor) Recovering with your workouts Your voice is the medicine to my body❤

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

I'm so happy to hear and congratulations on your baby!! Thank you for taking the time to share💗

[@chiyo4798]

Just want to say thank you for the amazing videos. I workout throughout the pregnancy. Although the delivery took 23 hours(needed to go on induced labour), I'm really strong 1 week after giving birth. My family is so surprised that I'm doing well right after giving birth. It's all because I really tried keeping up my fitness level.

[@paige5894]

I used your videos throughout pregnancy and always read the positive birth stories in the comments for inspiration. I used your induction yoga and two days later I went into labor. My plan was to get an epidural no matter what. My labor was 2-3 hours and I pushed for 10 minutes with no time for an epidural. This was my second birth and I feel so proud and happy that it was unmedicated and so quick. I feel like this birth experience healed my from my first birth experience. I also believe my uterus just pushed the baby out by itself! Just like you said! Thanks for everything!

[@NabaasaBrenda-i9q]

I can also testify that I had a very normal delivery and less labor pains since I trust in your yoga videos

[@nevbero]

I loved using your videos throughout both of my pregnancies to help keep me fit and active. Both times I only needed gas and air during labour and I found your latest video on inducing labour really improved my labouring position and meant I had minimal tearing this time round. Thank you for all the expert advice in helping us to deliver our babies safely and calmly 🙏🏼

[@kuzcopluscleo]

I’m emotional!! I’ve been watching you since I was 5 weeks pregnant. Just gave birth 5 days ago and I’m dying to get back into some yoga. Thank you for all you do!! You were a part of my pregnancy/birth journey. 💗 now onto postpartum 💕

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Huge congratulations on your baby!! It IS so emotional. Hope you are recovering well and sending lots of love to you and your baby ❤️

[@freesoul374]

I followed ur exercises throughout my pregnancy and had a normal delivery. Everyone one was amazed as normal delivery in my town is vry rare. Now i want to regain my shape and will follow ur postpartum exercises. Wish me luck

[@teewealthacademy743]

I used your video from 36th week till birth. My delivery experience was great. Coupled with eating Date fruit last few days before delivery, I had a very quick labor than previous pregnancy, and baby came out easily without any assistance. Thanks so much for your videos. Am back for postpartum!

[@Sunisworld-360]

Blindly you can follow her guys... Before five days i was blessed with baby girl with normal delivery which is very rare in my town... During labour also you don't need to panic.. pains are bearable by this yoga .. thanks mam for an wonderful video

[@michelleobi9046]

I have followed throughout my second pregnancy. I had another unmedicated V birth. I am 9 days postpartum and needed this. I will do everyother day this week. Nice ease back into gaining pelvic strength again. Thank you.

[@xtinchek]

Doing this postpartum 😊 your videos made my pregnancy easier and my birth (first baby) was over in 3 hours, unmedicated, was able to cope with pain really good, thank you ❤

[@AnetaChrástková]

I did your exercises from start of my pregnancy and had amazing short unmedicated birth. I am currently 3weeks postpartum and starting to get back to exercising. Cant wait to do your postpartum workouts later on! Thank you so much for making these videos.

[@loriderdaele1775]

I did your workouts throughout my pregnancy and went into labour feeling strong (2nd baby(. I'm 2 weeks pp now and have had a wonderful recovery so far. I'm anxious to get moving again and this is perfect to ease back in safely. Thank you :)

[@shahanatabassum]

On 26th of this March I delivered a baby boy naturally with out medication by following the workout on this channel. Thank you so much. Now I'm ready for postpartum workout.😊

[@Prokegel]

Does it ease the pain or anything?Maybe u could try kegel🤗

[@bhuvanapatil5724]

I followed your video throughout my pregnancy and finally had a miracle ,smooth ,natural delivery without any medication and no stitches You are more than a doctor and saving many women life by your stretching methods,tips and advice. Now following your postpartum videos Thank you jessika

[@daniellerieger4908]

Did your videos all throughout pregnancy & had an amazing quick painless home birth! So thankful for your videos & excited to jump into them again now postpartum!

[@sanaekodairahendy4438]

Thank you so much for all your videos! I did your prenatal yoga from the first trimester until the end of pregnancy and just had my baby over a month ago. I strongly believe that all your videos helped me get in a good mental and physical space to have an unmedicated birth - thank you so much!!!

[@museobettywhatley8705]

I had a stillbirth at 28 weeks last week. I am having a strange reaction where I know I need to heal my body, but I'm also resentful towards my body for any progress it makes because I should still be pregnant. Anyway, thank you for making all these great, free resources. They are calming and healing.

[@chrisbrownlov1]

I'm so sorry.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

That's not a strange reaction at all. I'm so sorry for your loss. 💔 Sending you love during this difficult time

[@u06sharon]

Thank you so much for all those wonderful videos! I started to follow your pregnancy workout in my 2nd trimester throughout my entire pregnancy and now postpartum, I had a fast and no complication delivery in mid Jan with very minimum tear, and I'm now only 10 lb away to return to my pre-pregnancy weight (and still get my abs!) Can't thank you enough!!!

[@TheAlisala]

Thank you so much for the gentle, newly postpartum exercises! They are so hard to find anywhere, but so nice to have! It really makes my day that I can move my body a little even while recovering.

[@isoo9001]

Not going to lie. I started this routine very skeptical, I just finished and I feel amazing. Thanks a lot for this. I'll be doing it again for sure, I'm almost 3w pp and it's one of those rough days with a baby and a tot.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

So glad it was helpful! I remember how hard those early days are. Sending you a big hug ❤️

[@CourtneySlaven]

Great video. Just hit 3 week postpartum and this is just what I needed.

[@delph_afrikah]

You such an amazing soul been following you since 1st trimester and gave birth 3weeks ago, honestly your channel has been so helpful being a FTM , am back again to get the light exercises .🙏🏽

[@dianasantos1740]

I used your videos during pregnancy aligned with perineal massage and I had an amazing vaginal birth with just one internal stitch Now I'm 1 week postpartum and I will do this video from now on until I'm 6 weeks postpartum I will come later to tell if it works 🤞 hope it does

[@noemibors9379]

I got your email recommending this video and this is just what I needed! I've been following your workouts during pregnancy and 3 weeks pp I'm ready to start your postpartum series :) Sending much love, me and my beautiful baby girl :)

[@mirandabalnus7982]

Thank you so much for all your videos. I have done them all throughout my pregnancy and now that babe is here it is wonderful to have these. Your videos make me feel strong and empowered as a new mom. Thank you!!!

[@rellas8676]

Yesss im so excited this popped up at the perfect time. I'm 2.5 weeks postpartum and have been craving a light workout. I've been going for walks but the weather isnt that great all the time so this is perfect thanks so much for sharing.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations!!! I hope you enjoy and are recovering well 💞

[@reginafessler4227]

Thank you! I am 5 months postpartum and just had a hernia repair two weeks ago and this video is perfect!

[@stoutemeisie1]

Exactly what I needed to relax . Having a baby has been stressful and this video makes me feel like I’m owning my space again

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

It is stressful! Happy it helped you relax .. sending you strength during this time… you are certainly not alone 💞

[@ayshareema]

Thank you so much for your wonderful videos for both before and after birth!!

[@sarahroberts5715]

3 weeks postpartum I have a toddler as well. Yoga keeps me zen so happy that there’s some light yoga and meditation work we can do this early after birthing babies 👏🧘🏻‍♀️

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations on your new baby! You are a busy mama with toddler too!

[@crissyhuff4203]

Love this, going it on repeat!

[@angelica-9271]

3 weeks PP from my emergency c section. I think my quick recovery is from all the exercise I did with you throughout pregnancy. Especially to have the power to do that first walk to the bathroom

[@Imsarahberry]

I know your comment is from a few weeks ago, but I wanted to tell you I also had an emergency C section recently, I’m currently just now going on week 3 lol Glad you are having a good recovery!! ♥️♥️

[@angelica-9271]

@@Imsarahberry if your hurting just know it gets better. 6weeks PP now and I feel great like it never even happened! Besides a tiny bit of incisional tenderness but I’m starting on more intense workouts.

[@gosiapajak6837]

Jessica! I found your channel early in my second trimester and have been working out with you daily since. Just a few days ago, 9/15/22, we welcomed our second baby! 🍼 I had a quick, unmedicated, empowering labor, and a VBAC!!! The hospital staff that worked with us was amazed how fast and smooth it went. I've been very anxious about my labor, since the first one was rather traumatic, and I was going for a VBAC that carries some risks. I am so thankful for all you do, your workout videos, educational ones, and the meditations (I've listened to them on repeat during my contractions). Breathing techniques and squeezing the comb in my hand is what got me through the most powerful surges (I still had red marks on my palms for 2 days after haha). I literally wanted to hug you after the baby was delivered. THANK YOU! You are making an amazing difference for so many women. I am looking forward to going through your postpartum videos and workouts soon:) much love and hugs!

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Ahhh! HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your baby and your positive VBAC! What an inspiring birth story! Lol… the red marks for 2 days 😂 YOU DID IT! Sending you and baby so much love and I hope you are recovering well ❤️❤️

[@laylakhamis369]

4 week postpartum, although still feeling a bit tender down there, this was easy and very good to do. followed your prenatal throughout my second and third trimester, was so active up until the last day! thank you so much for being a part of my healthy and very active pregnancy, felt so strong and powerful. hopefully will follow your postpartum workouts once cleared to do them.

[@janascheidmantel8811]

Thank you so much for all your great workouts! Loved them during pregnancy. Are there any more videos like this for the first 6 weeks postpartum? 🙏

[@literasea6726]

I had a wonderful second labour and I think it was in part to using your videos regularly to prepare, relax and stretch my body. The breathing exercises you suggested really helped me work through my labour, quickly and unmedicated! Thank you for your amazing videos and compassion for new mothers everywhere. Your work is very much appreciated!

[@yulias4382]

Thank you! Just what I needed!

[@meganluvsjewels]

Your videos were so helpful to me during my pregnancy. My baby is almost a month old now and I’m starting to feel ready for some light stretching, so really glad I looked up this video! While my birth was harder than I imagined and so did get an epidural, I still found your techniques incredibly helpful. I didn’t cry or break down at all during labor and I think it was due to some of your breathing and meditation techniques. Thank you so much! Looking forward to all your workout videos when I’m cleared to start exercising again after I’m all healed.

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations on your beautiful baby and YOU DID AMAZING!! Labor IS the hardest thing and an epidural can be so helpful when needed 💞 Hope it feels good to get back to movement!

[@eszterszasz1135]

Dear Jessica! I have practiced with You throughout my pregnancy and loved it! Thank You! Unfortunately we ended up with emergency c section after 41 weeks. Can I do this particular video with c section? My little boy is 3 weeks now and I am already pretty missing exercising.

[@shelby5623]

Thank you for this video!! I have enjoyed your pregnancy videos and am so grateful for this one! I am 1.5 weeks and feel mostly normal and wanted to do SOMETHING so this was PERFECT!! Thank you again 💓

[@ariellewis9501]

I love this gentle stretching, are any of the exercises vids that are safe for prolapse? Or are they all safe for prolapse?

[@sarahduke9860]

Hooray, just what I needed! 4 days postpartum with my baby girl. I adored following your prenatal yoga during my pregnancy (my 3 year old son did as well) it helped give me the strength to have the medication free delivery I had hoped for. I look forward to using your videos throughout my recovery process and beyond. ☺️

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations Sarah on your beautiful baby girl! I’m so happy for you! You are the one who put in all the work to be prepared for your birth 💞 Hope you are recovering well and enjoying the love snuggles

[@lamondreamarshall3126]

Im 12 days postpartum and about to do this video! Lets see what happens

[@KendraRairdon-gi5cp]

Just had a midterm miscarriage. I didn't want to get out of the habit of working out, so this fits the bill. Thank you. Do you have advice for after a later miscarriage? When is it safe to begin working out again? I feel physically well, although it has only been a week, but I want to respect what happened to my body and not push too hard.

[@AmandaMeix]

You always post videos at the perfect time in my journey! I’m 4 weeks postpartum tomorrow and have been craving movement but didn’t know what was safe and what wasn’t. Thank you!!

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Yes, I remember craving movement by then too. So happy this is helpful and hope you and baby are doing great 💞

[@RIDES-bh4se]

Thank you so much for this video, it's great!

[@appledoreglobalconcept4175]

Used your videos during pregnancy and I gave birth within a twinkle of an eye, thanks so much, when asked about how it was so easy I just send a link of your videos, cos I know I can explain it more than you the professional. 😉 🥰

[@cactusrose6646]

Yay!! Much like every one here I too have been wanting some light stretching workout. I’m currently 3 weeks postpartum, and although I feel great I have not been giving the green light for a real workout yet (and frankly that’s ok, one is supposed to rest for the first 6weeks or so😁) All that being said I’m so glad you came out with this video! Thank you!!🤗

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

Congratulations!!! Hope this is a relaxing and healing break for you 💞

So good to get some movement in that I know is safe! Is your Diastasis Recti course a general course for safe postpartum workouts for the 1st 6 weeks even if you don’t have DR? Looking for a playlist of movements/stretches for the 1st 6 weeks I can do every day:)

[@shruthijingles]

I had a third degree tear. I'm 2.5 weeks post partum. Stitches have mostly healed. Can I do the kegels?? PS: LOVE that you put out this video! I started doing them one week post partum!

Can I do this exercise straight after birth?

[@palwashamushtaq1397]

I am 6 weeks post-partum. Would it have any effect now 😑

[@shrabanichakraborti9351]

Can I do these exercises 6weeks post partum after a C section?

[@jasminezeledon3653]

Would this be safe if I delivered via C-section?

[@PregnancyandPostpartumTV]

It’s designed to be safe after c-section, but your doctor would be the one to know for sure. You can even take the video in and scroll it through to double check :) If you try, ensure to keep your ribs pulled in (as I cue) to not stretch around your scar.

[@bhavika2398]

Is this safe to do if you had a c section?

Are you using soothing spray and ice to help with pain? Also peri bottle helps a lot.
