dear Jessica, THANK YOU for this video!! I am 5 months postpartum and have been afraid to get back into working out until now. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I was able to do the exercises in this video! They are the perfect blend of gradually easing back into fitness as well as being challenging enough too. Loved your gentle reassurances also. Thank you!
Thank you so much. I'm 14 weeks post emergency c-section, after getting "signed off" to exercise at 8 weeks I then did a home workout and ended up in the Emergency room. I was devastated. This is my first attempt at a work out since then, and it made me realise how not ready I was to work out at 8 weeks. Thank you so so much, and the kind words really help keep me positive! x
Thank you for this video! Whenever I want to go for a run to rush back into my pre-pregnancy body, I do this video and feel better about myself. I really appreciate the words of encouragement, I know I need to hear them on repeat. =)
I recently went through a miscarrage 2 weeks and have a 3 year old and was previously out of shape. So this is a good start up. The first time I tried I was in tears but I realised the stretching was relieving my tension and emotions at the same time. Inhope it gets easier.
thank you for this video and your video for si joint pain. i was injured during my pregnancy and it affected my is joints. aside from my physical therapy i wasn't sure what workouts i could do that wouldn't cause more pain. i tried some other youtube videos, even ones that were supposed to be for si pain, only to find more pain so i've been struggling and nervous to do anything until i found your videos. i'm already 8 months pp but i'm excited to use this as a stepping stone to your beginner workouts while i finish out a few more weeks of pt. i just wish i would have found it sooner. thank you jessica for the work you do.
I’m so glad I found this!!! 1. It showed me that I need to not push myself lol. I never really worked out before pregnancy, and I’ve had 2 babies over the last 2 years, so I’m definitely not my strongest. This showed me that my left side is WEAK and that I need to slowly work on it without any crazy expectations!
Hi i m from india. I am fan of u after seeing your video. I have 3 month's baby with normal delivery. I have some questions/doubts relating to this video. It may questions of some Other mommies. Will u please answer all those questions?? 1) after normal delivery & c sec when can a mommy start this exercises? 2) when should we do this morning or evening 3) how many times we should do this in a day? 4) How many reps is needed? 5) after doing this exercises when can we get shower & meals? 6) shall we do this exercises while belly binding? (Benkung binding) 7) how many days or months it takes to get our real body? 8) after delivery, till how many years/months mommies have chance to get flat tummy through this? 9) may a breastfeeding mommy do this ? & last 10) is it works really?? & I have a personal question plz try to suggest me. I don't know how to explain!! I have leg cramps in bump area while i was pregnant, after delivery it increases a lot. I can't bear this pain😢. Plz give me a solution madam. I hope you reply.
@JessicaValantPilates Thank you for making these videos. Would this be the recommended exercises pre-conception as well (to strengthen and stretch the muscles needed during pregnancy and during labor)? Or might you recommend other exercises pre-conception for these muscles? Love this channel.
I feel my core again! After having my baby, my right hip became so tight that I lost the full range of motion. After doing this video, my right hip is more open...after one session. I am going to continue this. Thank you!
Hi , I know this video is from a year ago, but I really like your style , I hope you do more Postpartum Strength videos, I just had my 2nd baby, 12 weeks ppl. & would like to strengthen & tone my body & add exercise to my daily life.
Thanks really enjoyed the talk you gave, very motivational. I just had my 3rd child , he is currently 1 month and his brother just turned 1! So i know i have a long way to go before i get back in shape. Keep it up !👍
I tried this sequence but it’s too early for me to lay on my stomach :( I have to wait a few more days or maybe a couple of weeks to try again, thank you for this useful video 😍
in this video, you mention 2 other workouts. I have found the pelvic floor one ua-cam.com/video/V9W6aVHOQk4/v-deo.html could you please list the other one you mention. Thank you
I discuss my recommendations at the beginning of the video, but in general you should not do this workout at least until 8 weeks postpartum! Check with your doctor first as well.

Take your time and listen to your own body! You know your own body best. There is time to get back to everything else later on :). Congrats mama!

Thank you for this, especially the pep talk cause I know I would be running ahead of myself and doing damage.
You are so welcome!
