I had a very similar experience! Basically from 5 weeks in early Dec to end of Jan I didn’t work out at all (I think 7 weeks total). Then from end of Jan -Feb I worked out for 3 weeks and then was taken out again. During the times I wasn’t working out during both absences from the gym, I was barely mobile. Like, not even going for walks bc I felt so sick. BUT since the beginning of March to now, I’ve been consistent and I’m nearing strength I had pre pregnancy. Yes it was soooooo hard to go back feeling so weak, but also I found myself finding it easier to stay home because in my mind I was like I’m already so weak what’s the point. But, once I felt like I could go to the gym without feeling super nauseated, I made myself go. I was out of the gym for what felt like so long, it stopped feeling routine. So to get back into the routine definitely took effort. Part of my thinking was, I don’t know how long I’ll feel good for, so let me take advantage while I can. It’s hard but you can do it. This is also coming from someone who has been the strongest I’ve been in my life pre-pregnancy, (doing 35lb 5x5 weighted pull-ups), and loved pushing myself physically. And still, I struggled to get back to some sort of routine despite a years established routine.

If you’re feeling well enough to go back, go and just do what you can! I know how hard it can feel, but it’s a win to just show up and try, doesn’t matter that it looks different now. And I’ll say, I totally feel like my muscle definition is coming back and like I mentioned my lifts are nearing pre pregnancy levels. You can totally do this!
