Dear postpartum body, I’m sorry.

I wish I'd come across a post like this nine months ago whilst sitting on the toilet waiting for that little white stick to give me a verdict. Personally, I feel that even if you planned to get pregnant, are undergoing IVF or are one of the lucky ones who fall pregnant the first time, you will still have a moment of OH SH*T when it finally happens.

Have you ever looked in the mirror and not understood what you were seeing? Been tagged in an image or walked past a shop window and seen a reflection that doesn't feel familiar? I have. If you had asked me last year, I would have happily told you that I no longer felt this way, that I'd kicked my dysmorphic thoughts to the curve and become comfortable in my skin. Fast forward to me now and "BOOM", I realise just how far from reality I was.

With so much misinformation and scaremongering, exercise during pregnancy can feel overwhelming, let’s correct that.

Let me shout if from the roof, yes you can! Im here to guide you through how to feel confident in what you’re doing.

Movies and TV shows have a lot to answer for, I've never been pregnant before but had my own misconceptions and things I presumed would naturally happen, some did and then some other things caught me by total surprise…
