[@Inkling777]

The jealousy some women has for other women can be particularly nasty. She has a loving husband. They have none. She has eight kids. They have none. She is successful. They are not. That sort of thing.

​ are you really so sad and pathetic that you have to come on here and try to bully someone? Someone's beliefs have absolutely no effect on you, and yet you think you're proving something, but all you're proving is how ugly you are in your heart.

[@davidchambers44]

Agreed

[@Antaeus_Drakos]

I agree with that. Though I think people are more focused on a wider and philosophical debate of, would you rather chase an impossible fairytale dream while not focusing on the grim reality around you or would you focus on the grim world around you and not chase the alluring happiness of the fairytale? In my opinion, the ideal position to be in is acknowledging the grim reality of the world but indulging yourself in impossible happiness a bit to essentially reset all the negative flaws of reality then continue moving forward to make the world more happy.

I was 35 when I gave birth to my 3rd child, went for a postpartum check up on day 10 and the doctor was like, “Woah you lost all the weight already, huh?” I was like, actually it was gone by day 4, slid off like melting butter.” He actually shooshed me and said, “Please don’t say that too loud, even the other nurses are bitter about that kind of stuff and a lot of my patients are super sensitive on that topic, too!” Everyone’s postpartum journey is different. It can even vary with each pregnancy. She has good genetics, good for her! But she also probably eats a healthier diet living an organic farm lifestyle, which aids in a faster recovery, etc.

[@cowgirl1012009]

I lost mine too in about a week because I was so swollen and a lot was water weight. 265-230lbs…I’m still about that weight now but I know I should be less but it’s been difficult now even after 2 years.

[@CharletteG]

Same thing with my first, my tummy was completely flat after I birthed my first and walked out of the hospital in my jeans, all the nurses and Drs were looking at me like I was an alien. That being said with my second I gained more weight and had a postpartum tummy after and didn’t lose the weight almost after 2 years, never did I look at others in a bitter manner because everyone and every postpartum is different. I didn’t feel any less beautiful either way.

[@Gitn2it]

Breastfeeding will also help you quickly lose the baby weight.

[@MrsMuffin11]

I gained 50lbs during pregnancy and was worried I wouldn't be able to lose the weight. I lost 20 including 7lb baby within 36 hours. Lost another 10 in three more days. I know with my next baby the weight will not melt off but ya ... Everyone's body is different😅 My stomach is flat but not toned obviously, but I could wear all of my old pants by week 2. But it's been 3 more weeks and the pounds will not budge! I'm breastfeeding but I have a feeling I will always just be 20lbs over my natural weight and that's fine! I knew my body would change and I would have to accept myself no matter what. People need to calm down and we need to support other women, even those we are a little jealous of lol

[@shannonmariebraswell1527]

@@Gitn2it Also another thing that can be different for all moms. My son just turned 1 and I am still breastfeeding and I've only lost 10 lbs since when I gave birth and my son was 7 pounds 🤣 They say it can be 50/50- some lose weight while others don't because your hunger increases drastically and your body will hold onto fat in order to help feed your baby. I unfortunately got the latter 🥲.

She hasn't lost herself in being a mother, she still has goals and passions and things that are hers. I think THAT is what upsets all these other women. They no longer have personalities. She's *literally* the strong, independent woman everyone talks about.

[@Gitn2it]

These are the women who believe that it is acceptable to abort a baby so that they can have a career because they don't believe that women can do both. The answer is to get help from your husband (that's why you put a ring on it before getting pregnant), family, friends, or social services.

[@lisafeck1537]

Underrated comment. You are talking about self actualization. Thank you for bringing it up, it is very important aspect of any human's life. Women, struggle to not loos themselves in the lives of their children, sometimes in their husband's. I got lost in my life raising children, I would have been so blessed to have had a woman like this as an example as I struggled through those many years. Every woman's self actualization, will look different, we damage ourselves when we compare, prevent it from happening, wasting our time and energy, yearning, day dreaming of what in our own minds *could, should be*. Self actualization is not getting everything you want, being a "queen" rich, or what someone else has. We all do not have the same resources, skills, genetics, opportunities, income, husband, children. It is finding what matters to you as a woman, building resilience, building character, holding principles close unwaveringly, with grace, and dignity. Whatever that looks like for each individual woman, and not hating other women who find it sooner or different from us. Bitterness destroys all of our efforts to grow as a human being, destroys our happiness, joy, peace, love, it pushes people, and all the good we want away. No woman can carry the weight of that bitterness and think she is going to achieve, gain, keep, enjoy anything good in her own life. God bless you. I pray for your own journey as a woman, for success, enjoy it, with all the hardship, and all the sweet moments money cannot buy, and no one can give or take away.

I am watching this 4 days before my C-section and looking like a water balloon on legs. I havent been able to walk in months without pain and couldn't even imagine doing basic stretches right now due to pelvic dysfunction. But it didn't even occur to me to be upset about this woman looking like a boss 1 week postpartum. She's awesome, and I hope I can reach even 10 percent of her fitness level postpartum. I have a lucrative career, a beautiful daughter, a healthy unborn son, and a loving husband. I have to think women who get so mad at someone like this are just very insecure and have no support. If you have a great life and family then seeing someone else's success should never upset you.

[@allieoneal2033]

I think you're right about support making a difference. I was up and making supper for my family 30 hours after giving birth because I didn't have a community who organized a meal train. Our society is so disconnected that we can't imagine what living in a multigenerational situation would be like. Of course, many cultures have female relatives around to help.

I had retained alot of water with my first who was a c section too. It did go away. My third baby was a big boy, ten pounds and was positioned wrong, which made my hips hurt in the last trimester. Now he's 28 and an Engineer. My fourth baby was a boy too, but that pregnancy was more like his older sisters. I was convinced I was having a girl.

[@candycandyissodandy]

I think it says a lot more about Hannah and her husband that they’ve come from wealth and intentionally chose the life they live. They could’ve easily had 1-2 kids, lived in a fancy house somewhere, sent their kids to private school, and never lifted a finger again. The fact that they’ve chose to continue working a really difficult job, grow a business, provide jobs for others, and grow a huge family says a lot about their values and who they are as people.

[@marieh185]

My grandma was like this woman with the energy and drive of 10 women. She raised 9 kids while her husband farmed long hours to survive, she had so many incredible hobbies and talents that she developed and made all kinds of things happen around her all while giving her kids attention, love, instruction, and keeping her house, yard, and yes, her body immaculate. We all have different strengths and weaknesses. I am not like her but I wish I was. I'm not going to beat myself up over it and I'm not going to hate her for it either. We should celebrate people's strengths instead of picking at them. Seriously, friends, jealousy is not a pretty color on you.

[@Elon0212]

wow, super grandma 😀Love it!

[@Raraking4796]

Absolutely!!! I feel like my great grandma was the same way. She didn’t have as many kids but always had nieces, nephews, cousins and grandchildren and more over. I’ve never been thin and if I was my boobs would likely snap me in half. I have a decent energy level but I feel it dwindling each year especially starting around age 34 which was like 2 years ago. It’s not fair I’m still young dang it. I probably still have more energy than most people and like my grandma I love having all the cousins, nieces, nephews over to hang out and do fun things. I only have one kid of my own at the moment. I want to have atleast one more but I just turned 36 years old and pregnancy on me was not a good time. I wish I was the kind of lady that made pregnancy look like the magical thing that it is not what I end up being is shrek in his swamp before he met donkey and Fiona. Haha maybe not that bad but I am a basket case during pregnancy.

I feel like most grandma's were the same during the early 1900s. I wonder what happened to that generation.

[@rebecaanderson1935]

@@MB-vi8zpwell her point is about not making comparisons once we all have different circumstances, weaknesses and strengths. There’s many reasons nowadays we don’t have the same energy as our grandmas. The stress of modern society is one of them. Even if we eat healthier the soil don’t provide the same amount of nutrients that the fruits and vegetables did decades ago. But hey at least we have dishwashes 😄 There’s so many details in each one’s life that make us really ignorant and any comparison is unfair.

Home birth Mom of 3 here 👋 People are too far removed from her lifestyle to understand. You can only rest like that postpartum with the first, which is also the hardest on your body. My 3rd was beautifully born after 3.5 hours of labor just after 8 a.m. I had a tiny nap around 12 p.m, but was up doing everything because I wanted to! My body was absolutely able to do so. Your body adjusts differently after each birth and natural births with no complications (tearing, stitches, etc.) have a TOTALLY different healing process. Thanks for highlighting her Brett! I only recently heard of her, but will be a big supporter now!

[@Sarah-psalm127]

Im a mother of 8, pregnant with my 9th. No way my body would have been able to handle what shes doing. Yes we still have to do things, and its taken me longer to heal because of that. Im certain she has more help them most mothers and is really onlu caring for the infant at the time being. Hopefully getting a lot of rest in between things. No matter how smoothly a labor goes your body has serious healing to do. Hoepfully when her show is done she can get that.

[@trubyboo4072]

Exactly! ​@Sarah-psalm127 I agree it's not about her capability necessarily to do many things. If you're physically capable great. It's the fact that she has the help that most women would not have access to.

As one of the more advanced ballet dancers at my dance school I 100% agree with what Brett has said. It was always SO incredibly annoying and frustrating when people approached me and either was concerned that I had an eating disorder or that i wasnt being enough of a positive example to girls my age, but ALSO when they would make comments saying that "ballet doesnt look difficult" or "anyone could train like that". Like no, not everyone has the physical capability or pain tolerance to put up with ballet training. Your right, you are doing things that your body is not naturally supposed to do, but THATS WHATS SO BEAUTIFUL ABOUT IT. Every time I watch my friends dance or even myself ,sometimes, it brings you to another world. Its unreachable, fantasizing, ethereal, and unrealistic.

I live in a rural place and have always felt like, well people used to do this why can't I. Until I realized people never used to do everything either. Children were often neglected for farm work to be done ( a neighbor would leave her children in a play pin for hours while she dealt with her animals, and milking). They didn't worry about schooling their children, they couldn't do everything. I think the lady from ballerina farm is amazing. But what she is doing isn't obtainable by the normal person. And is only done because she has lots of help.

Mindset is incredibly powerful. A multitude of evidence across many disciplines, including one everyone knows as the placebo effect, shows that people with a positive mindset will recover and heal faster and even sometimes defy scientific principles. When we think about things negatively, the reverse can be the case. Our minds can manifest through triggering a hormone cascade. Our brains literally tell us we hurt when we are sick, even if those nerves aren’t impacted (think body aches during the flu and cold) to make us sit still for a bit. I think in trying to normalize the experience for those who have a negative experience, we have forgotten to not ostracize those who don’t.

[@Aging_Casually_Late_Gamer]

@user-wr2cd1wy3b I understand that. Maybe miserable might not have been the exact precise word. Because yes, if someone is miserable enough. They won't keep living. However, look at the current state of the population and what they are advocating for. Unhealthy obease people chanting "health at every size!" while they are sicker, draining the Healthcare system, and demanding universal care. Look at their diet, which makes them sicker. Look at how it's encouraged to be on food stamps while spending your money on every new electronic gizmo. (As old as that sounds, buying secondhand is almost seen worse than being on foodstamps). Look at how kids aren't pushed to be better at school or sports, it's all about "affirming" them and making sure they are falling for "misinformation", aka, not letting them learn for themselves. Maybe the system doesn't want them to be miserable on its own. But unwell people drag down people who aren't. Maybe that's their goal.

Nothing wrong in wearing something expensive because of the quality or just because you like it. The problem is wearing expensive stuff to say “look at me, I’m better”.

And we should be so happy for the women who have the privilege to spend several weeks post-partum focusing only on recuperating physically, and bonding emotionally with the baby and family.

It’s what her body was used to. She had the doctor’s approval. After giving birth, she was running again within probably two weeks. Not a short jog, 5-10 miles is a typical run for her. If you’re determined and disciplined, your body can achieve amazing things. I’m not that determined or disciplined 😂 it would’ve killed me postpartum, but awesome for her. We’re all different. There’s no need for women to attack each other. Putting out someone else’s fire doesn’t make yours any brighter or hotter. Geez ladies.

[@kafka494]

Not hating by any means but we women have to look after our pelvic floor after childbirth! It’s not about fitness or lack thereof but allowing our pelvic floor time to heal. That’s why heavy exercise and sex is not recommended immediately after birth.

[@mostneuter]

@@kafka494 did you miss the "doctor's approval" part?

[@jenniferibarra7737]

When I have kids I will do lots of walking .

[@TheBaumcm]

@@kafka494it also has to do with baseline fitness and I know many women don’t want to hear this, but the same goes of the general population, pregnancy, nor exercise, nor emotional distress, is not a ticket to cart blanche on eating (I’m eating for two mentality). Most people cannot accurately assess caloric intake. I had a friend who was fit and thin. She gained a healthy amount of weight but her slim frame stayed slim (she looked like she was smuggling a giant beach ball😂). She bounced back quite quickly. My SIL was overweight and not particularly active. My niece is 7 and she still hasn’t gone back to her pre pregnancy weight, despite wanting to, while eating a sleeve of Oreos at a time (no hate for the size or lack of bounceback, just pointing out that the mindset is problematic).

[@amandataylor9721]

I'll definitely support her business. She seems wonderful, I live in Missouri where people are seemingly flocking here from the coasts making houses with land double in cost they were a few years ago. I want nothing more than to bring my kids out to the woods and live off the land. It's the dream. I've had 7 children, the last 2 were twins- and my body just knew exactly what to do, i was walking around within less than an hour with all of my kids after the first. All of them are homeschooled and happy- they are consistently cold shouldered by the brain dead little ipad kids. And get along wonderful with their similarly raised homeschool and church friends. This woman is doing what we should all strive to emulate in one way or another .

[@arianaquinonez7106]

I’m postpartum and am so inspired by her. I love that I could take it slow with my baby but I wouldn’t want to put my life/experience on others. Let’s support moms no matter their path b/c we are all made differently. She’s gorgeous ❤

[@andyworkman8699]

I have nine kids and a busy physician of a husband. Once you hit baby 3, you kinda have to get up and get moving. The other kids at home need things. Laying around doing "resting and self care" kinda gets taken off the table.

[@praireoak]

Exactly 😂 Plus you are more experienced and just get up and get going with life!

[@JoiskiMe]

Your point about having an ideal/ elite to aspire towards really struck a chord with me. I think that's really true.

[@amy8071]

I had unmedicated births for both of my children, and recovery with my 2nd was SOOO much harder than my first. It was so emotional and frustrating and painful. I was afraid to even attempt walking stairs for two weeks. I want to congratulate women who can do things quickly after giving birth, but it is REALLY hard to give yourself permission to not be them. It's not that I am lazy, it's just that my body medically needed a TON of recovery time and almost a full year of physical therapy. For me to attempt what she did WOULD be a bad decision with my specific circumstances, and I think would be a bad decision for many people who push themselves too fast too soon after birth. While I appreciate it was probably fine for her, it's hard to fight the "you're lazy if you don't go skiing two weeks after birth" type message this implies when telling new moms to rest so they don't have core/pelvic issues later on.

[@TheBaumcm]

The only place this is implied is between the ears of the receiver. People who focus externally, extroverts, use external sources to gauge themselves, and this is where it becomes problematic. We need to realize that neither case should be idealized but rather, as with most things, an individualized approach is required. Sounds like you might’ve had more difficulties due to your expectations relating to your first, rather than what someone else did though.

I genuinely appreciate that this influencer shared that she was able to get back into some form of normalcy after having a baby. I have no children myself, but I have many friends who do, and between hearing their experiences and the experiences of the people online, I am not excited for the postpartum experience. it's nice to see that though it often is uncomfortable, new, and unideal, it doesn't have to be.

[@elisarodriguez558]

Eye roll. The more kids you have, the easier it is for your body to bounce back after birth. I was walking around and back to my normal routine the next day after pushing out my 3rd kid.

[@johanneshoogenboom]

My wife and I farm. We our second baby a couple years ago. My wife was milking our cow as she was having contractions (I kept saying we needed to go to the hospital but she wouldn't listen to me) and within 2 days of the baby being born we were all (including my wife and the baby) outside fencing. This lady has 8 kids, I think she knows how to postpartum correctly.

[@etainvelorum5814]

She is strong and independent. Married women who love their husbands and children can most definitely be considered strong and independent. She works on the farm, has a business, takes care of 8 children, and gets ready for a pageant! That's amazing and should be inspiring. Independence doesn't have to strictly mean financial or being without a partner. It's about being your own person which includes having your own hobbies and passions. There's nothing wrong with any of this.

[@moriahbarrett7979]

I'm the daughter of a midwife who has 30+ years of experience under her belt. Everything Brett is saying is spot on. Love Hannah from Ballerina Farm, and I couldn't be happier for her. She's so inspiring as a mother and wife. True Prov 31 woman. I hope to aspire to be like her. Wow

[@abstractabby1921]

I don't think its jealousy. It's just so hard to see people make things look easy that are not easy. Not everyone has the resources or good health to be able to "bounce back" like that. I have PCOS and other health conditions. I do the best with what resources I have, but I know that whenever it is time for me to start having kids that I will struggle due to my history of mental health and having an eating disorder. I remove myself from content like that because it tempts me to become jealous. But it also tempts me to hate myself and who I am simply because I don't have the type of wealth or resources that someone else may have.

[@khutchinsoncpa1]

I had PCOS. Didn’t become pregnant until age 36. Rough pregnancy. And the postpartum period was a dream. Weight fell right off. Nursing was delightful. Great energy. My point is that you don’t know what will happen to you until it does, unless you set yourself up for failure by deciding it will all suck. Be brave - it might be better than you think.

[@abstractabby1921]

i'm glad your story ended up working! my point was more that not everyone has the luxury of having an easy time postpartum or even during pregnancy (you mentioned yours was hard ). I truly hope my story is positive and great when it is time for me to have kids. But i also need to have realistic expectations and be ok with whatever happens. @@khutchinsoncpa1

[@FreedomOfSpeechIsAnIllusion]

I don’t have children myself but one thing I have heard just about every woman in my life who does say is “The transition from one to two kids is way harder than the transition from none to one. If you can handle two, you can handle one hundred and two.” A woman with EIGHT children clearly has the shit on lockdown. Grow up people.

[@Lina-lq7jm]

Not true. At least not for me. As someone who now has my third, I can say that going from none to one was a huge change - everything changed: my daily routine,, eating habits, everything. Going from 1 to 2 didn't change anything. But going from 2 to 3... that's another challenge since I don't have 3 hands, or 3 eyes. I cant help my 2 older kids with homeschool stuff and breastfeed at the same time.

[@FreedomOfSpeechIsAnIllusion]

@@Lina-lq7jm I don’t know how mums do it sometimes.

[@caivail4614]

Going from a selfish, irresponsible wasted twentysomething to a mom of an infant was 5000x harder than adding a second child. Our second felt like it added maybe 10% more work, plus I already knew how to do everything and had all the baby and toddler stuff. I feel like I could handle 5 kids now. But from none to one turned our lives completely upside down (in a good way) and we were seriously shell shocked for a couple years.

[@CyndiGabe]

Nope! My transition to 2 kids was incredibly easy

[@m.j.2361]

Disagree! From 1 to 2 was very easy and smooth. Nothing like from 0 to first child. The first child turns everything upside down and you have to find your identity as a mum etc. With following children you already know what to do - much easier
