From Postpartum Fatigue to Inner Strength

After giving birth, my body felt unfamiliar. I had mild abdominal muscle separation, a weak core, and constant lower back pain. Simple movements like lifting my baby or even standing for long periods became tiring. No matter how many pounds I lost, the loose belly skin and aching waist remained.

But what weighed me down most wasn’t physical. It was emotional.

Daily routines of nursing, cleaning, and sleepless nights blurred together. My husband was busy, communication turned into silence, and I started to fade into the background of my own life. I avoided mirrors, social invitations, and anything that required energy.

I felt lost, like I had no control.

That’s when I walked into my first Pilates class. I didn’t go in with confidence or strength — just a hope that something might change.

My core was unstable, my posture weak, and every movement felt difficult. But instead of pressure, I was met with patience. The instructor said gently, "We’re not here to be perfect, just present."

And that’s when the shift began.

I started showing up weekly. Then more. Slowly, my body began responding. My back pain lessened. My breath deepened. I began to stand straighter, not just physically, but emotionally.

Pilates didn’t "give me my old body back." It gave me something better:

  • A sense of control

  • Renewed connection with my body

  • Confidence I thought I'd lost

Through that process, I started noticing small things that interrupted my flow — like slippery socks, rolled-up edges, or fabrics that didn’t breathe. It was frustrating that such a small item could distract from such a healing practice.

So I created my own.
