Kettlebell workout and watching baby after pregnancy

Well I managed to get a workout in while my baby sat peacefully in her chair. It was amazing. I am so happy she is letting me put her down a bit more without crying. And i actually got 6 hours of sleep last night. What a record. She probably thinks her mom is crazy swinging this weird thing around. So lucky to have found kettlebells. I don't know what I would do without them.

Went through the sequence without stopping and rested after the last exercise for about a minute. I repeated 3 times for each sequence.

A. Turkish Get Up 18lb 2 reps each side
Clean & Press 18lb 6 reps each side
Alt Tactical Lunge 18lb 10 reps on each side

B. Renegade Rows 26lb Alternating 5 on each side
2 Handed Swings 26lb 20 reps
Snatches 18lb 10 reps each side (first time doing this since having baby)

I feel pretty good. This was quite challenging for me. Turkish get ups are starting to feel better since the C-section. Renegade Rows are still challenging because I can some times feel the inner stitching under my abs. (maybe it's all in my head) Just afraid to work that area too hard yet since it still is very tender.

What Doctor's don't tell you after a C-section

I have now been through 2 C-sections since writing this blog post and thankfully I've recovered beautifully from both with the appropriate progressions. For those who are new and are just finding me. WELCOME! First let me say I did NOT want a C-section. I did everything in my power to avoid the first and even the second. I'm a kettlebell fitness strength and conditioning coach who relies on her body to share, teach, educate, and I was under the impression that having to give birth via C-section would and could destroy my body and career. Boy was I wrong! If you're feeing the same way, start by reading this article I wrote many years ago that still applies today! Many people have asked and here is part of my experience. I don't claim to be a medical expert but not only have I successfully healed my C-section, my abdominals are no longer numb, and I've successfully helped others who've had multiple C-sections (even some 20 years ago) find their core aga...
