Very pregnant and getting everything in order for this new human! Any pro tips / tricks on how to tighten postpartum tummy without surgery? (These narrow hips never got the pregnancy boost, so I’ll need my waist back!)

Look into the Tupler Technique, very gentle and will help restore and strengthen stomach muscles and could possibly start now with some exercises. Also Every Mother.

Go slow—you don’t want to make diastasis recti (if you have it) worse by putting too much pressure on abdominals. Start with breathing, pelvic tilts, and side planks and increase from there. @sarahfit on Instagram has a great video on postpartum DR healing. Also, see a pelvic floor PT!

Try not to stress about it? Go on walks, spend time with your baby, be active and move. Postpartum depression and anxiety can be real and learning to accept the things you cannot change will be your best friend over the next several months. as others have said, you risk causing diastasis recti or other real concerns if you return to working out too early or wear one of the corset trainers. those kind of things will set you back from being able to be active for a much longer period of time.

I totally relate.... marathoner to mama here. I keep reminding myself that there is a season for everything. And right now those little baby smiles and cables more to me than any athletic achievement or outfit I can wear. It really can be the most special thing ever. Even when it’s hard :-)

Parents who have or have had a baby. How was the first year or two for you? Was it awesome, was it terrible, did it change your relationship with your partner? Did you regret it, did you want out? I've heard that having a baby can really change things between you and your partner and that a lot of marriages fall apart at that point. Just interested in stories and feedback.

Also curious if one partner kind of pressured the other into having a child/was driving force in wanting the baby.

What are peoples opinions on work from home? It seems to be an unpopular opinion but as a junior I despise it. I work 3 feet from my bed, I find the barriers of a phone/email between me and a senior to add a huge amount of stress to my life and I think it’s stunting my career development at my firm because I can’t build relationships as effectively. I’ve never at all had mental health issues before but now am really starting to feel burnt out and anxious most of the time. What do you think?

Never met him, so obviously not the love of my life, but just genuinely curious.

So I looked up the decedent’s home - it’s a joint asset. Partner was “surprised”, and still insists “no other assets”. I found file references to art and antiques.
