We absolutely need to talk more about the physical toll that motherhood takes on your body. I had no idea how physically exhausting this role would be. From sleep deprivation and nursing, carrying car seats and babies, to chasing toddlers around, constantly up and down from the floor, carrying toddlers up and down stairs, trying to pick up/carry a kid while they’re tantrumming. All with an already destroyed core and pelvic floor from two pregnancies. It is a work out all day every day and my back is a complete wreck. I feel like it’s a cliche at this point but only bc it’s true - the minute mom finally sits down, someone needs a snack or someone pooped or something else needs to be done or I forgot some task and it all begins again. For whatever reason this just isn’t a thing people discuss and it’s been a huge struggle for me physically and mentally. I am so tired🥲
I feel ALL of this and I’m exhausted too😅❤️
Yup yup yup! Chiropractors are great! Try and take some time to see one!
I understand you completely
Thank you so much for this video. I cried while watching it. My daughter will be one year old next week, and my body has never felt more run down, exhausted and foreign. The dichotomy of motherhood - feeling at once so proud and full, and also defeated and empty - can be its own labor. I really appreciate you giving a voice to the invisible suffering of women.
This video represents many of us who are struggling with motherhood and everything that comes with it. As a single working mom of a toddler I can say I feel this really deep and made me feel less bad about my feelings... Struggling with the physical pain, the frustration, house chores, a job,, the pets, errands, tears, being a mom, playing with the kids, being sick, hormones... Etc.... Is a never ending cycle of beautiful sweet moments always with a side of bitterness.
So true. I tell my husband that having our 2 babies, 22 months apart, has aged me 20 years. I’m only 28 but my body felt decrepit. I’ve started including collagen supplements in my daily routine, getting into the gym consistently, I’m going to bed early, even when I want to stay up late. It’s helping but I know there’s much more healing to be done. I adore my children and I want so badly to have a large family but I need to get my physical health in order first. Much love!! Please share more about ur physical healing journey.
I’m in an identical spot-28yo, 2 littles 19 months apart. I feel sooo aged.
Same story here. I do have a very supportive husband who lets me sleep in sometimes. That helps a lot. Started keto dieet and that helped me very much in getting energie and clarity back
I agree completely! I’m 22, my first is 20 months and my second is 5 weeks old, at the end of the day when I get to lay down and I have time to actually breath, think and feel, I realize just how tired I am, how much my body is aching, how slouched I’ve been all day and tensed from breastfeeding, I need like a 24 hour massage
@@jaidahilton2476 it’ll get sooo much better once baby is able to eat solids and go between feedings longer. Til then it’s like living in a haze of exauhstion. Hang in there💕
@@jaloemimoe2319 thanks for sharing been considering doing keto now that I’m weaned!!
i have read that it actually take 7 YEARS for a mother's body to fully heal and recover from pregnancy
I believe that. ❤
Beautifully said. Motherhood changes you in the best, but also the most difficult, ways.
My daughter is almost 2.5 and im trying to set the example of prioritising my health more- but its really tough!
I'd love to be able to give her a sibling but dont know if my body could cope with going through it all again.
omg this!!! My son is 2.5 and i'd also want to give him a sibling but i dont think i physically or mentally can. I had a terrible labour/delivery/recovery and i dont ever want to go through that again. Then i feel guilty to him and my husband i cant do it again.. but honestly I dont think i can. Ugh its so hard. Also my body is always sore from carrying him and doing all the physical stuff, sometimes im like whats wrong with me? why am i broken or feel like im 100 years old with aching body!?!? but its probably cuz i never get to rest my body, he is so heavy too.
the part about not being able to pick up your child when your body is not capable… thank you for sharing the realness of what you’ve endured & the physical difficulties we women go through to bring life into this world. You are SO strong!
I feel you!!
I became a single mom while I was pregnant with my second daughter. It's so difficult to take care of yourself with kids to look after. I'm just now, 7 months postpartum, learning to prioritize my mental and physical health more. There's a lot of healing to do. Don't give up. In the words of my bestie, "you're strong. You're tough. You're brave." Keep reminding yourself. And don't beat yourself up about the past, you were just trying to survive. We all are. ❤
Thank you for your raw honesty. New mom of two and I’m feeling the really mental load and stress of having two kids. I’m already feeling the pressure of being the perfect mom. Love you always. ❤️
This video was so important. There is so much that we are never told. I had twins and my doctor never once mentioned diastasis recti. I diagnosed it myself before going to physical therapy where they confirmed it. I nursed my babies through multiple food intolerances. I had to find an online specialist for that. We need more people to speak out. Be your own advocate and don't stop until you get the answers you need.
Oh Brittany, this made me cry. Please of all things do not feel guilty! Better maternal healthcare and general support is so needed ❤
I feel this, and thank you for posting it. I had my daughter in July of 2020 via emergency c-section, then had constant hip pain during postpartum and found out I had a labral tear likely from pregnancy, got hip surgery in April 2023, then in Oct of 2023 my back discs herniated. My body is ruined. I have been in and out of physical therapy for a year, I am in constant pain. I can barely lift my daughter. Can barely bend over. I’m only 25. 😢 No one told me this could happen from pregnancy. The mental and physical load, paired with a child who is fully dependent on you, is sometimes unbearable. Luckily my now 3 year old is the sweetest little helper. I just hate that she has had to see me like this.
This video is important. I have 2 small children and I feel exhausted 24/7. I feel like a failure constantly, like i am never doing enough. Wish that there were more content creators who acknowledge the low points as well as the high points. My children are the most important and perfect people i have ever known. They are my every waking moment. Motherhood has been such a beautiful chapter in my life, ive witnessed miracles i wouldnt have otherwise.. it is also the most difficult feat i have ever taken on. Its ok for something to be amazing and suck sometimes, life has ups and downs... we can talk about the downs without impacting the ups.
Thank you for the talk. We are all united in this way. Hope your day got better.
Thank you for bringing awareness to this topic!!!!!
I could just cry, I feel so seen. I even try explaining to my husband, “I have no core”. I literally don’t know how else to explain the complete lack of core strength and stability and how it affects the entire rest of my body. (My husband is super supportive, just hard to explain to a strong man how weak I am post having children!)
My son is a wheelchair user, and because he is so physically disabled… it REALLY puts a physical stress on my body. He is my first born and I just had our third baby. I still had to lift him during my two other pregnancies. I try my hardest to always always use the right form, and use every changing table to change diapers, and “lift with the legs!” Etc
But even with all of that, the repetitions of the weird movements of motherhood of all of the physical tasks can cause so much strain and injury!
Brittany, motherhood is so hard on the body and even with all of the strength training and exercise, you can still get super injured :’( don’t blame yourself! I know you shared there was more you could’ve done, but at least don’t put 100% of this burden on yourself, it comes with the territory!
Anyhow, thank you for this video so necessary to talk about
So relatable, I have 3 year old twins. Pregnancy destroyed me, had really severe preeclampsia which caused the babies to be delivered early. Still have long term effects from it because it was so bad. My core is so weak no matter what I try to do. My back will never be the same. I have rheumatoid arthritis now and I definitely feel way older than 31. I love my boys and they are my greatest accomplishment but my health is in shambles, I try very hard to take care of myself but like most mommas we are on the back burner. Sending so much love to all the moms we have the hardest job❤
Thank you for this video❤ it's shocking how we all go through similar health struggles in silence.. seeing so many mothers online focusing on the perfect aspect alone makes us have the impression we are the odd ones out! Been following you forever! Thank you for this❤😊
You’re incredible for this. Never have I seen someone speak about this. It’s something I struggle with weekly, actually daily. The chronic pain, sickness, stress, etc. as a single mom it’s so isolating. I really thought I was alone. Seriously thank you for this. You’re doing amazing. Our babies will know how much we cared and tried. 💖
I love you for this Brittany! So raw and real. A lot of us feel this way post partum. So sorry you are having such a hard time with health currently, i wish you a wonderful road back to health!
What an open and honest video❤ thank you for sharing! I can't even express all the feelings it evoked in me.
Thank you for this video! I think all moms need to hear this! Motherhood is hard! I love being mom and I love my kid but it’s not making it easier.
I needed this.
This is why I follow you , you really do talk about the unwanted or the uncomfortable, thanks you for using a platform for the good
😢... needed to hear this. Thank you for always speaking out. ❤️
In todays society as a mother you’re seen as a “hero” “ a super woman” therefore the moment we “complain” ask for help because we are tired or exhausted, or just share our emotions then all of a sudden we are “ not capable” not strong, not MOM worthy. And that to me is insane. We support everyone in our family yet we don’t get the same support back. To all my tired, lonely, yet happy mamas out there just know my love and prayers go out to you because this ain’t easy.❤
Thank you for sharing this ❤
It’s really nice to hear this. I’m 15 months out from becoming a mom, and the physical toll, lack of sleep, nutrient deficiencies, and aching is intense.
Oh man all of this hits so hard. I’m so sorry for what you’ve been through, for what we’ve all been through as mothers.
Thank you for being so honest with your story. Listening to you and all these mothers Comments- you are showing so many real parts of motherhood that aren't talked about. I'm not a mom yet but I feel a little more prepared to be one
You are such a gorgeous person. Thank you for being so real with everyone!
This is such a relatable and powerful video! Thank you so much for voicing all of this
Give yourself and your body some grace. Have reasonable expectations of your body. You are human and not failing. I’m pregnant with my third and set clear boundaries with my toddlers about what I am capable of doing right now. It’s okay. ❤
Thank you. Thank you!!!
thank you for this video and for opening up the conversation for everyone ❤
Thank you! ❤
Thank you for helping me feel heard and not so alone ❤.
Thank you for making this video. You said it so well. I have not heard anyone else speak about this.
Thank you for sharing!❤
Thank you I really needed to hear this!!
At the outset of this video I was thinking ‘ah come on it’s not that bad’, but as you explained the myriad of ways your body is bearing the brunt of motherhood I was internally nodding with everything. And my little one is only 1! I am extraordinarily lucky to have a flexible work schedule and daytime care help several days per week, and yet I’m still burning out on the weekly. But what to do? My husband is a big support when he’s not at work, as are other family. I’ve heard people say - well you just need t prioritise yourself. But how? Practically how? Do I just say, ah I need an entire day to myself to recalibrate? That’s laughable, even for someone with help.
You’re so right, we just keep going because there’s no other option, and maybes that’s why I didn’t think it was an issue initially. But I’ll be better for my baby if I’m better for myself.
Crying. Thank you for this ❤
Your absolute best video you’ve ever made. I have three children (my youngest is almost 3) and you’re so dead on. Motherhood is SO hard and we need to speak more about how hard it is as well as the joys. Thank you!
thank you for this🩷
Thank you so much for making this video i feel very much like this my son is 3 years old and i still have zero energy, joint pain, back pain etc...
😢 holding back tears
Thank you for being real.
I hope we al get through this🥺
3.5 years on and pregnant with my second, I feel defeated and weak. My poor body was never like this before. I was never super fit, but I could go about my day without anxiously checking for cues that my body urgently needed rest, medication or otherwise. It’s just constant.
Thank you so much for this video Brittany.
I can relate so much to feeling physically worn out in motherhood. I would say though, to be kind to yourself and to not jump to blaming yourself for the injuries you sustained while caring for your daughter. There’s no way to go back in time and know whether your pains would have occurred regardless of how you carried her, changed her, etc. You’re doing the absolute best you can with what you know at the time, and that’s the most that any of us can do 🤍
Thank you so much. I really needed this.
❤❤
I’ve never been so early, but just want to give you a hug. I’m still struggling with post partum OCD 3 years later.
The hormones, the stress, lifting kids, no self care, the lack of sleep, the constant self doubt and feeling of failure…. Brutal
I feel you girl. My body is definitely not the same after I had my son. My back has been damaged since they messed up with my epidural and when I bring it up to different doctors they just brush me off and prescribe me stronger pain medication. Yes it’s been 5 years since I had my son and 5 years and telling them the same pain and no doctor wants to investigate what’s going on 😢. Our healthcare system is terrible.
I recently had brunch with three of my friends, all four of us have a baby or toddler. One of the things that stood out to me is how tired and anxious we all are. The mental load is no joke, and like you said, that breaks us down physically if we're too stressed to get sleep. I just keep trying to prioritize self-care, going to bed earlier, and knowing that eventually I'll be able to sleep better.
Thank you for this amazing video. I had my daughter at 21.. being 24 now, I feel so blessed to have my little one but can’t help but notice the stress on me when I go back in my camera roll. I am now prioritizing my health and mental overall. I never worked out on my life but in truly trying to incorporate that for the remainder of my 20s. It is especially hard as a single parent. But I have to do it now because I refuse to lose myself. I need to take care of myself in order to take care of others too.
Brittany! Omgosh did I and our community of mothers need to hear this today!!! Been with you since you were pregnant with Arrow and I with my first little boy. So well said... so true and talking about it shatters the silence, so shame cannot thrive. The physical toll is more than any endurance athlete experiences.... and no one talks about it.... Imagine training for the Tour de France, Super bowl, Wimbledon, the Olympics on how little sleep we get....... Trying to do the hardest job in the world on the least amount of sleep and rest. WILD.
Thank youuu for sharing this. Raw, honest, authentic! I hope this finds the right people! I'm a Nutritionist, health and wellness coach and hear this all so often. Strongly connected with "mom guilt" because prioritizing ourselves seems not even like an option. Glad to hear you're ready to make some changes for yourself. Easier said than done, but you'e got this. Sending my love back to you
Thank you! I needed this video…my son is 3 almost 4. I’m a single mom working full time with minimal help….no child support all me ….as tough as it is some days my sons cute comments and I love you mommy make up for any struggles. I wouldn’t change my life because he is the best part of it. ❤
This spoke to my soul! I’m a mother to a nearly 1 year old and 2 months pregnant with my second (a suprise!). I’ve only just started feeling a bit more like myself and still don’t have time for any self care. I swear I had postpartum rage and depression but were too afraid to reach out for help. Motherhood whilst in isolation is so hard!
Thanks for this video ❤
I was born physically disabled and I will die physically disabled. All I ever wanted was to be a mum and I finally got it. I've never not known pain, could not imagine it if I tried. Even in daydreams I'm sitting down because my brain simply cannot make myself stand for extended periods, I can't even fake it in a fantasy. So whilst it wasn't this massive life shift for me (going from a healthy body to a mum body) pregnancy did greatly worsen my disability. I already had very severe ankle arthritis (a inevitable result my congenital disability) but being pregnant with my daughter and then doing the newborn stage resulted in my foot no longer being in use. I walked on my inner ankle and my foot was pushed off the the side. It was visually shocking (and literally crippling). I've been waiting for surgery for *years* and finally at the end of last year got a fusion. I'm now on month 6 of not being allowed to weightbear on that ankle (which I'm sure any mum can appreciate how impossible parenting is when you are using two crutches. How do you carry your toddler? How do you carry a drink? Food to the table for them etc etc). My mum ended up buying me an expensive knee crutch just so I could parent. But I also have a very dodgy knee and that bit*h hurts like a motherfu*cker. All this to say, I knew going into parenting that I would have more limitations than the average healthy mum but the way it still crushes me daily is a living hellscape. Every day I push myself further than I should, driving myself into more pain for the sakes of doing something normal with my daughter. Be it doing a little dance in the kitchen, or chasing her round on my hands and knees. Carrying her from one room to another before putting her straight back down just so she has those few moments of being carried by me. I'm talking the most basic of physical things that come with parenting. And everything is strategically thought out. If I do X I will not be able to do Y later. If I mop the floors I will not be able to take her out of the house for the next few days.
If we were out and about and she got tired I would simply be incapable of carrying her back to the car, she would have to walk and cry whilst I do the same and the guilt of that makes me crying even thinking about it. I watched my sister carry her then 4 year old around of her hip for extended periods of time whilst I couldn't babywear my newborn. The more I write the more I don't actually know what point I'm trying to get across. Or even if I have one. Maybe I'm just wanting to put my experience out there and acknowledge how utterly impossible parenting with chronic pain is. And yet we do it. Everyday I do the impossible even if its not to the degree I so desperately wish I could. Maybe that's my point. I might be at 20% but if I'm giving every percent of that then I'm at 100. I'm never going to be the mum I want to be but I'm also giving her every single thing I have to give.
I'm hopefully coming to the end of this season of surgery. I very probably will have to have more in the future and I still don't know how successful this fusion has been - and now my knee is in a much worse shape - but hope still flutters. Hope and despair are so much of who I am. But the hope is that the surgery will have been successful. I'm still going to be in pain, that's never not going to be a part of my life just because of my birthright to a disability. But I hope certain things are easier. I hope to be able to take my daughter out of little walks without having to either be in crushing pain or righting off the rest of the week. I hope to have another baby. I hope to be able to comfortable stand long enough to cook something more than the most basic food. I hope to be able to go rock climbing again.
I hope my daughter won't resent me having her. Won't resent me being the mum she got. I hope she will know that every moment of pain was worth it to me, just to get to be her mum.
Watching this while being sick… it’s be 1 month+ of constant sicknesses, I’ve also hurt my back really bad. Thanks for talking about this!!! I was against medecine before being a mother… lol I knew nothing
Hope you feel better soon!
I wish you had that in the US. Totally necessary ❤ sending you strength and love to you and all women struggling ✨
This was beautifully said ❤
I REALLY want children but examples like these and my own personal health concerns, make me so afraid of going through pregnancy and postpartum. I also feel like my window of having children is closing with every month that goes by. I turn 29 at the end of this year, I’m so confused and indecisive of whether I should begin trying, wait longer, or maybe not even consider going through it. I’m absolutely terrified that I’ll have hard pregnancies and postpartum seasons. I don’t know what to do and I’ve been struggling with anxiety about this topic for the past 3-4 years.
I'm 25 and i feel the exact same! !
Every content creators tell us are miserable motherhood is , I desagree with Britanny on this one . No one ever told me a good thing about motherhood.
All the mom i know IRL, seems to dislike it and do everything to not be around their kids.
Younger, i wanted to have a kid to do everything with him, i wanted to experiment givin birth and breastfeeding .... Women just laugh at me now when i say that and i feel so stupid .
The older i get the more horrible it seems to be a mom because of the exemple i have around me .
Just like you, i feel stuck about what to do. It's very sad to hear that we are several women you struggle with our desires to became moms. You have all my support !
@@elsaregenstein7288 like with everything there is good and bad…your body does go through a hell of a lot I’m not going to lie…hell all the things she mentioned is true but even if I did know all of theses things were going to happen before kids I STILL 10x fold would do it again because the love I have for all four of them is unfathomable and oh so deep I literally could not imagine not having them…do with that as you will but for me personally it’s worth it and I had my first at 21 and last at 30
I mean I am n of 1 but i've had two kids (one is 19m other is 3) I feel strong, healthy, happy, well rested. My kids are crazy, busy and smart. You aren't going to hear people talk about how awesome they feel - that doesn't get the clicks or reactions. You are going to only hear the complaints, the vents, the frustrations. No one wants to hear someone brag about how awesome they are, people will roast you
Thanks for the video. I had two c-sections, and I felt broken physically both times postpartum. I've gotten sick, had issues and chronic pain on multiple areas of my body. Because of that piled on lack of sleep, my mental state was struggling as well. It is hard.
I feel you... After my first kid I recovered almost fully and was able to workout again and take care of my kid the way I wanted to physically. But after my second... even though the birth and short-term recovery from it was super easy and quick, I started having so many physical issues that I cannot believe. Starting with very poor sleep (I haven´t slept for 5 YEARS straight as my kids were very poor night sleepers and would wake me up 3-4 times during the night). I got back and neck pains and terrible headaches due to poor nursing position (I was too exhausted to care about positions in the middle of the night every night), my back is messed up, my diastasis is not resolved yet because I didn´t do anything to work on my pelvic floor health and now I have crazy foot/heel pains I have no idea where these all come from and I just feel deleted from constantly trying to fix myself and feeling like this is the worse condition I´ve ever been in. I hope things will and can improve because I cannot imagine what it would be like living in the 50s when you´re falling apart in your 30s hahah
This!!! Thank you so so much ❤ I always notice I apologize to friends right after saying something in motherhood is hard, I almost always have to come back with a positive because deep down I feel I’m being judged.
Literally have been thinking about this a LOT lately. No ones motherhood experience is the same, and having cookie-cutter “minimum care” just to check a box in the medical chart is so sad. I’m Trying to finally take care of myself at 3 Years pp. Thanks for all your real content!!
My daughter ended up dislocating one of my ribs! The pain went away after she was born but I get random spurts of numbness. Thank you for sharing your story!
Any tips for preparing your body for pregnancy?
I am 41 and had my 2 youngest 14 months apart. They are 2 and 1 so I had them when I was 39 and 40. The other thing is I got clean off a 17 year drug addiction only 3 years ago so I was already so depleted. The guilt I carry for taking my body for granted, abusing it and poisoning it is something I think about daily. I want to live long enough to be a grandmother and my kids deserve that. I neglected my health the entire time I was using and had SO many health issues. I am trying to right those wrongs now and omg. I had a surgery last spring and I am having another the first week in April. Both for different things. I still have a lot I need to address but I am doing the most important first. I have had eating disorder issues since I was 14 as well because I am 5'11 and never wanted to be "big" so basically I am all sorts of f**ked up. All I can do is my best everyday to try and be as strong and healthy as possible for my littles. I have a 7 year old daughter as well and they are my reason for everything. I feel so grateful that even after abusing my body for years and years I was still able to give birth to 3 perfect healthy babies.
It’s been almost a month since I’ve been able to pick up my 2 year old. I had emergency surgery right after getting back from a 3-day girls trip. The first one I ever went on, the longest I have ever been away from her… to being operated on the next day. I have been so depressed. In my car ugly crying right now… you reached your one. Thank you. I needed to see this.
Thank you. I related to most parts. I started taking Cardio Miracle earlier this year and it's made a great difference. Otherwise, hoping my pelvic floor work helps my back.
I wasn't a big fan of the video title, but I do agree with everything you said. Motherhood is tough and physically demanding. It does have a toll on the body and going through pregnancy/postpartum will definitely accelerate symptoms and physical pain. I hope you can let go of some guilt, cuz there's no guarantee that if you were more physically strong that you wouldn't be in this pain/discomfort/ exhaustion. We should give ourselves a bit more grace and keep in mind that doing some maintenance (massages, chiropractor, chiropody (foot dr), yoga, etc) does help our bodies in the long run. I've been pp for over two years and now I'm taking better care of my body, so when you have the time and energy + do try to take care of ur mind and body.
Thank you for sharing true ❤Big love to you!
I cannot thank you enough .
My sister just died. And my husband expects me to carry on as if I didn't bury her 2 days ago.
I cannot think straight. I can't barely take care of myself
I am so so so sorry for you loss
I just want to say thank you for sharing because I was feeling guilty thinking how come everyone can do it while I feel like a failure because my body hurts so much. I feel guilty saying it out loud because all people do I judge but thank you for sharing
Thank you so much, your speech is so useful to me and I'm sure to many People.
This is a great message. Our health is key and when our children see this modeled they will follow it as well!
I have 3 daughters….ages 2&1/2 and under. I’m 25, and I don’t feel like it. This is the honest truth.
Need to hear this today 😭 thank you 🫶🏼 I am struggling with postpartum health issues and anxiety 😢 I have started drinking all organic, grass-fed bone broth and it has helped cure my Hypothyroidism! Focusing on being more healthy and filling my cup so I can be more present for my Son/Husband ☺️💕 Love your videos! Xoxo
I love being a mom. I have felt bliss alongside overwhelm at the same time. I could not fathom having another baby while my girl was 1-2 years old. I wanted to give her my all (while also working full-time) for those first 3 years -- my anxiety and overwhelm told me I should wait, that I couldn't handle two. But now I just keep miscarrying. I think I'm doing okay, but the hair loss, uncontrollable weight gain, and fast track to aging says otherwise.
I really let myself go because of post partum depression, now it's just hard to get the motivation to pick myself back up
Ugh feel this … I’m 8 months pregnant with my second and passing kidney stones. It’s so so painful….. it’s like being in constant labor …
I feel the same 😢
❤❤
Yes 🎉🎉
24 year old mom of a 2 year old and I thought it was just me.. thank you so much for making this ❤
It’s definitely not just you! ❤
Thank you for this video I'm single mother of 2 kids it's not easy at all
Sending you so much love ❤
This is so true!!!!
Thank you for this. I desperately wish I had done regular strength training before birth. This video should be standard viewing for every expectant mama. This did more good for me than all the labor breathing videos I watched to prep.
Thank you for this video.. i really needed someone to tell me this...... Really thank you so much.....!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
❤❤❤❤
When your little one wants held it’s ok to just sit in the ground w them and offer a hug
Important topic. ❤
My body was not great prior to pregnancy/birth. Now aesthetically and otherwise, is a lot worse. For example, I’m 10 months postpartum and I have a cyst on the scar from tearing that came out of nowhere. Like, whaaat 🤦🏻♀️😑😳. I can also only sleep on my right side and my back kills from spending so much time putting her to sleep each day.
💯 with you on this. I have to wear an abdominal binder to help me with my lower back pains. I can’t get through work without it. Also, whenever my vitamin D3 is low I feel miserable. So I have to stay on top
Of that. I also have thyroid disease. It’s a roller coaster. But I’m trying my best ❤ sending love your way and healing 🤗
Great
this is so amazing! Thankyou! I love your videos they always fit in with where I am in my journey with my body after my 2u2! Could you do a video on how you gained weight after your thyroid? because I am struggling
Let's not forget you did all of this BY YOURSELF. Give yourself grace for not taking the smartest decisions, nobody was there for you mama❤
Idk if this helps you or not, but I had a lung transplant when my daughter was 8yo (she’s 26 now). I was unable to play & pick her up for the majority of her life. BUT it has made her so much more empathetic to others who have physical disabilities. In fact, she’s working on her master’s in Athletic Training in order to help people stay healthy.
You're the best ❤
oh I feel you, I have two kids 18 months apart and recently feel ugly, fat and just not beautiful anymore. I still wake up two to three times at night. feeling, so tired in the morning still getting ready to go to work with no work from home allowed, 8 to 5 coming home tired, functioning as a mom, feeling again guilty not being around for my kids the whole day. but, seeing my two girls makes it all worth it.
I’m so sorry Brittany. I feel your pain as a mother. Please look into The Cure For Chronic Pain podcast.
It’s helped me immensely ❤
