    Not quite! Lol the doctor said yesterday I am in pre lab (which I already knew that lol) dilated to 2 cm. I have the feeling the big show down won’t be till thursday though, fashionably a week late…. Starting out just like her mom hahahaha (I have a history of doing life in my own time)

    Although, I will probably be on SV from the hospital on my galaxy tablet lol, if I have to sit there minimum three days I might go through SV withdrawals without it, plus I will need some way tell the whole world of our arrival!!

    Any update ninja?

    I didn't even post a goal last week b/c I was sad not make my goals.

    Well I only stretched 2x last week and only made 1 pole class! I had family in town last week and this week. I did make 2 pole sessions this past week and stretched 3x so far. I have to fix my account at the gym so I have not been all month! That is on my to-do list this weekend. Also to put pole back up now that family is back out of town.I have gotten out and walked 3x this week. Doing better with pole too. I feel like I need a spotter for most of the moves that I was comfy with before and I felt proud to be working on everything again!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Goal next week: 3 pole sessions, gym 2x, stretch 5x.

    Hi! I’m here! My little girl is just a week old now! I have been been taking this time to really connect with the family and get our little one settled 🙂 I started my workout routine this morning just some very light cardio and AA’s stretching for pole, goodness I didn’t realize how bad I had gotten! But that’s ok! Slow and steady consistency will get me there! My goals for the week are to do my light cardio and stretching 6 times this week and to walk an hour a day. So, day one 1/2 done so far!
    You seem to be doing really good! Family and other distractions (for lack of a better word) can be a challenge to work around, but picking up whenever you can isgreat! KeEp up the good work! You finding time is encouraging me to do the same!

    That’s so soon to go back to pole. Aren’t you just knackered after the slightest move.

    I started again 8 weeks ago, but I had complications from early pregnancy, so had to stop at 6 weeks pregnant. Was desperate to get back on my pole but my daughter was nearly 8 months by the time I started classes again. I had my pole back up a couple of weeks before that.

    My first time back on the pole I could have cried, I couldn’t invert and could barely hold a spin position. I was so disheartened, but now I’ve been back 2 months, I can Ayesha again, superman (sometimes), and all the moves inbetween.

    My stomach muscles still aren’t back yet, they are coming back slowly, and the moves I have recovered don’t look as crisp as they used to, but it’s only been 2 months. (so my class keep telling me).

    So don’t get disheartened, keep at it, and though it may feel that the phrase “I used to be able to do that”, comes unstoppably out your mouth when practicing, remember you will be able to do it again. Not as fast as you would like, but you’ll get there.

    Congrats on your return and happy poling.

    @ninja- Congrats on your daughter!https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif

    Please don't excercise just yet. You could still hemorage or something. The are where the placenta broke off needs to heal. Give it 5-6wks. I had ressumed intamicy at 3wks but waited to pole b/c it is way more intense than any gym session. Even walking may make your hips sore. Remember that your body had to turn them out for your baby's head to come through it. I had a sono at 8 wks post partum and my uterus still had a thickened myometrium! Our docs recommend NO excercise before 6wks post partum here, although I felt like returning at 3, my hubby said no way.

    should say the area where the placenta…

    @Sarah great to hear that you are back! Congrats to you too. I felt like crying after one class too, but my teacher is really great. She is upbeat and always makes me feel good about where I am. I have to remind myselof that I took 19-20wks away from all activity and that I need time to rebuild.

    Please post your goals here so you can also track your progresshttps://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif

    @Veena, how long did it take you to feel just like prepregnancy?

    Oh, I am not doing anything actually strenuous, I did like 20 minutes of a kids dancing video game on easy mode, some stretching, and then ths evening we as family walled around the neighborhood (at my 2 year olds pace) all normal stuff, it’s only exercise cause I was really lazy lately and my doctors are ok with it 🙂 I haven’t done any pole whatsoever, haven’t put it up yet even, I am not trying to hurt myself lol, but after three kiddos now I recognize what I can do and what not to. I am not in a hurry as much as I thought I would be, I am actually feeling this really groovy sense of peacefulness and am content to just get off the couch for 20 minutes here and there 🙂
