The images of different stars and celebrities looking amazing only 12 weeks after giving birth are extremely encouraging but at the same time misleading. Look at Kate Middletown for example. She looked stunning 8 hours after giving birth to her third child and back to her pre pregnancy body just three months later. That leaves most mum with this unrealistic expectation that postnatal recovery is so fast. It makes us try dieting and extreme exercising too soon, leaving us stressed, fatigued and sometimes even fatter (as our body stores fat when we’re stressed).

Freya, like most 18 month year olds, has so much energy. I am at home with her until she is 2 years old, trying to keep her both safe and entertained. This task requires a lot of imagination and energy. I bet it is even harder for any working mum. Finding energy after a long day in the office is quite the challenge. So if you’re fed up of being tired and want to have the energy to have fun and be playful with your little one here is what will help.

Despite nursing being a wonderful time, it was also quite a painful time sometimes. And I don’t mean “bleeding nipple” pain (I still remember the first week of breastfeeding as well as nursing after being bitten… that wasn’t fun at all 😊) but neck pain. It bothered me the most at the very beginning, in the first 12 weeks postpartum, before I started exercising again. Afterwards it happened less and less and honestly I don’t remember anymore when was the last time.
Being a new mum is massively challenging to our body and it needs more care than before (who has time for it you ask? I totally understand however avoiding pain is priceless, especially now). In the end, being a mum is a hard physical work, without sick days or holidays. We have to stay fit and healthy to be able to take care of the little one.
