I talk about the difference between gentle rehab and jumping back into intense workouts, why breathing and core connection matter so much early postpartum, and the common mistakes I see moms make when returning to exercise too quickly.I also dive into walking postpartum, pelvic floor healing, and the symptoms you should never ignore, like leaking, heaviness, or pain.
