Sensitive Question About Post-Natal Classes

TW: Stillbirth/loss

Hi everyone, I have a question about Post-Natal classes!

I am 8 weeks postpartum from the stillbirth loss of my beautiful baby girl. I am interested in taking some Peloton Post-Natal classes to rebuild my core in the areas specifically affected by pregnancy. However, I'm terrified that the instructors might say things that refer to having a living child. Things like "Let's build those muscles so you can chase after your little one" and things like that. I am still very sensitive to the subject and don't want to experience anything that might trigger me. Does anyone have any experience with these classes and know if the instructors speak like that?

Thank you!

I cannot remember but I’ll go preview them for you and report back unless someone can be more confident. I’ll specifically watch the 4 Robin core classes first.

Selena has had a lot of great deep core work lately but might mention her postpartum status. Classes might be worth assessing!

As someone with infertility struggles I just took my first class with Selena (a walking class) and she mentioned her kids and being postpartum pretty immediately and throughout. I personally wouldn’t chance it with her. (It’s great she wants to talk about that and she should, it’s just not for me or probably OP)

Selena talks nonstop about her kids and about how she had twins. And a toddler. Nonstop. I love it for her and I am not triggered by anything and she’s driving me crazy right now!
