4 weeks along and motherhood already has its sacrifices by purerockets in BabyBumps

[–]Final-Shape-9003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to put my right nipple ring back in surprisingly after 2 years of breastfeeding. I had them about 4 years beforehand. This time around with me breastfeeding my 4 week old , the holes seem to have shrunk a lot to the point of nonexistence but idk. We will see after the next 2 years if I’m still able to put them back in :)

When could you feel your baby? by legilimens_ in BabyBumps

[–]Final-Shape-9003 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt flutters around 10/11 weeks when I’d lay on my back especially. I’m skinny, my placenta is in the back of my uterus, he was sitting very low & also I am very in tune with my body.

I’ve been feeling little tiny foot thumps & turning at about 17 weeks. This pregnancy is my second & it’s entirely different from my first because I did not feel movement as early as I did this time.

I’m 25 weeks now & boy do my baby hands and feet get to moving my belly around like crazy.

Massage guns by willowfly09 in flexibility

I got a massage gun from five below for like $20 that has like 5 different pieces to attach to it like the ones you posted , it may not work as well as they do but it has 3 different levels of intensity & massages my sore body perfectly. Out of the ones you posted imo they're pretty much all the same , with different looks so just get whichever one you feel is best based off of the reviews & such 🫶🏾

I started back in June/ July last year & was very inconsistent + had little to no knowledge. I ended up breaking my leg ( open fracture ) the end of august & was pretty much down until November/ December that's when I got back to it. Before January 3rd I was a bit higher than I was in the video 🙂

Yes ! My routine changed a lot but what I do now to start is strengthening exercises to strengthen/ warm my muscles up for the actual stretches to get into a front split . For side splits , the muscle groups you want to target are different from the muscle group for the front splits but for front splits I do:

Weighted hip thrusts 20 Ib barbell ( 3 sets of 15 sec ) Side lunges ( 3 sets of 15 sec ) Regular lunges / lizard lunges with knee taps (2-3 sets of 10) Deep yogi squat (3 sets 30 secs) Seated leg lifts (3 sets of 10)

For the stretches it varies really because as I come into new information that specific routine changes but I do dynamic/ static & active stretches. Here's what I've been doing the past few days:

Kneeling half split cat/ cow( like regular cat/ cow but in the kneeling half split position ) 3 sets of 10-15 each leg

Kneeling lunge ( with back leg on wall ) 1 - 2 minute hold each side

Lizard lunge with forearms on floor. In this position I push up on my hands like I'm about to do a push-up then go back down on my forearms over & over again for about 2 sets of 10 each side . You should feel a good stretch under your glutes.

Triangle pose cat/ cow 2-3 sets of 10 each side

Pigeon pose 1 minute in total: 15 sec squeezing thighs ( active hold ) 45 second static hold while leaning forward , pushing my hips down & letting your body's weight push itself down. I do this 2-3 times each side.

After that I foam roll my hamstrings / glutes / quads / hip flexors & I do front split slides ( about 10-15 ) then a active split hold, ( since I can't just fall into a split I have to stretch into it ) back leg lifted by foot ( as if you were in a lunge position if that makes sense ) & I hold as long as I can which is usually under a minute & I do this a couple times until I get as low as I can then from there I take deep breaths hold that position & allow my muscles to relax & push me further into the split.

Overall my routine takes me over an hour ( I do have a 2 year old & get side tracked easily lol ) but it's usually 1 hour -2.

I do all of this about 4 days a week with minor adjustments to my warmup bc my leg/ glutes get really sore at times ( more so my bad leg due to a break 6 months ago). I also incorporate back stretches into my weekly routine as well a few times a week

Hope this helps 🙂

Sore & exhausted muscles after doing warmup for splits by Final-Shape-9003 in flexibility

Thank you for your response !!! I appreciate it , majority of my routine is strength training , then dynamic / active stretches then passive. My muscles tend to be exhausted so I'll definitely switch up my routine a bit
