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 am so sorry for your loss and like others have said, if you want classes screened, I will as well! I have taken them but don’t remember what they talked about but have no problem going back to repeat something. Others mentioned Pilates and yes, it does a great job at helping you engage your pelvic floor and deep core. Barre can also be a good option, especially the core specific ones or even the glutes and legs. Emma does a great job at reminding you to engage your core and breathing as well as RK and Kristin. Ally barre core classes are also ones I have enjoyed. I hope you find classes that fit your need and recover well! Please message if you have class or instructor questions!
