I’ve had messages asking when I’ll be training again, if I’ll be doing fitness shoots again and what I’m doing to help my recovery post C section. Firstly, of course I’ll be training again! It’s been part of my life for the last 10 years & mentally, I’ve missed it. I will be doing shoots again too but this time with an even bigger appreciation for what my body has been through and how wonderful it is for growing and creating Mia 🥰
I wont be training at my usual intensity until at least November. My body needs to heal properly to avoid later damage. I’ll be having my 6 week check and a Mummy Mot to check my posture, ab separation, pelvic floor & core strength. And when that’s done I can begin light exercises such as walking, Pilates, light weights with Evil Steve, Anything is better than nothing. In the mean time I’ve been a lot more controlled with my food choices & like I did before having Mia, I’ve been cooking in bulk and freezing every 3 days to save time. I’ve mainly been eating lots of protein to help promote new tissue growth & maintain my muscle. Loads of fibre because anyone who’s had abdominal surgery knows the last thing you need after is constipation 🤦🏼‍♀️ foods rich in iron after blood loss to produce haemoglobin. Rice or sweet potato (as apposed to my bread & pasta craving I had when pregnant) to keep my energy up with all the breast feeding, & lastly LOADS of water! I’ve been taking paracetamol for pain relief & applying arnica twice a day on my scar. With losing my water retention & Good nutrition I’ve dropped from 89kg to 78kg in 3 weeks (just over 1 and a half stone) I’m not a fan of the scales at all and I usually go off how my clothes fit but this time I wanted to keep track so I can note any major changes & inform my doctor if I need. I’m lucky in that my scar is very small & neat & I can’t believe how low down they do it! I assumed it was across the tummy 🤷🏼‍♀️😂 I have a long way to go before I look how I did in these pics, but after everything, I’m not bothered about that. I’m more so looking forward to feeling myself again through exercise & releasing all my endorphins again! That’s way more important to me ❤️💪🏼

spaceyanne Hi Gemma, congratulations on your beautiful little one. I think you’re a wonderful role model for health, fitness and positive thinking! I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on muscle gain and weight, as I’ve been doing elliptical trainer sessions for half an hour 2-3 times a week and also ballet for an hour once a week most weeks. I’ve now started a kettlebell workout (but I’ve only done two so far 😆). My weight is now almost 11st when previously I’ve been the around 9st 10-10.5 over the last 5 years. I’m actually scared to weigh myself in case it’s gone over 11! I do try to watch what I eat and I am starting to cut down on alcohol, as I use it for a bit of a crutch with my anxiety. I’m nearly 47 so I’m guessing the difficulty in losing timber as you get older is also not helping! Any thoughts or tips would be awesome, though I know you get lots of messages and are a very busy gal! All the best, Xx

shazzads Remembering soon as we give birth we loose quite a bit of the weight anyhow because some people carry a lot of water which I did .. I ve been lucky after my 2births to naturally loose what ever weight was left just fell off me ..I am petite anywhow but I was back in my jeans .10 days later which then started to become loose in me . I suppsoe with some people they have good genetic make up also ..and I do realise it’s a lot harder for some mums to loose their weight .. pregnancy puffs us up tho even our faces change a bit . It’s now I have the problem as I m MUCH older and the weight has crept back on but I suppose that’s natural my age 😡. Your health is more important so your able to look after your daughter but do it at your pace when right for you and not for society or anybody else 👍

natz_dm I cannot recommend Pilates enough post partum I never did them before having my little girl but always went to the gym and did a variety or aerobic exercise and weights! But the Pilates have been a life saver after having my little girl to kick my core back into shape and stop me from having a lazy posture with all that bending down and lifting! Also with the breastfeeding omg does it make you thirsty. As a first time mum myself I couldn't believe how thirsty I got especially at night in the begging during cluster feeding stages! A water bottle is a must and get everyone to keep it topped up for you! A cheeky bit of chocolate for energy also helps 😏😋

jenrhoda1 As an antenatal and postnatal trainer. I love that your spreading this message. Especially after a c section it takes time to recover and find the new healthy version of yourself. Too many Mums feel a pressure to rush back to exercise which their not ready for as they see these snap backs and insta fitness accounts that aren’t realistic. For long term health and strength everything you said is the best way to go about it. 💪🏽💪🏽

rachaeldemetriou75 I walked a lot as 2nd time had elected c section and first child natural but ripped badly. What I will say is walking is great while you are healing and also aloe Vera oil by Johnson really faded me scar Gemma. Good luck and great on BFF I managed this 2nd time around and loved it but sadly my baby needed more milk as loosing weight... 3 months in he wanted bottle over boob. Enjoy every second your weight will come off x 😘💯

lucyholt29 I’ve bought your book and just begun reading through it while my 1month old was napping. I’m desperate to start doing some exercise again despite not being the most active gym going person before having my little boy (I’d play netball once or twice a week and go for a mile run once a week) I also had a csection so wasn’t sure when I’d be able to start your 12week body plan? My body is in need of something. Any advice? X
