So I was able to separate it from I feel average because I'm struggling with my mental health versus not actually just feel average because I'm pregnant.

And then when I went into postpartum, I actually got clearance to run quite early.

And interestingly, I didn't really want to run.

I was like, I just don't feel like doing this right now.

And I've very much been feelings led postpartum with returning to exercise.

I'm now back to running like three or 4K.

My pelvic floor, like I definitely weigh myself sometimes.

But that's the journey.

That is the journey.

So I've got to do pelvic floor exercises.

But that has really surprised me because I thought I'd rush into it.

But I didn't want to rush.

It's so interesting.

It's like you go through this huge change mentally and then all the things that you used to do feel quite foreign.

Yeah.

And then after every time I would go, I'm like, oh, I actually feel okay.

Like you slowly, slowly build your confidence.

And it's not just with writing.

It's like every single part of you, you have to rebuild that, which has been really interesting.

I think, I mean, first of all, social media does not help in terms of like the pressure of bounce back culture, like put bounce back culture in the bin.
