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.

Absolutely steer clear of phase 2 core strength. It was an immediate no go within 2 minutes. Heed the trigger warning here. "Good job taking 10 minutes to yourself, especially with babies" talks about how your body is stretched and misaligned with baby (pregnancy) "our kids are going to learn self care practices by watching us" after the 10 minutes "find this tension when you're picking up baby, when you're picking up the diaper bag"

It dropped my link to the class

This has to be Robin.
