had my daughter August 19. ❤️

I got to go home, and that following Sunday I ended up going to the ER because my blood pressure was high and I just started feeling… weird.

At first, I honestly thought it was just hormones.
I thought maybe my second C-section recovery was just harder this time.
I had just had a baby. I was exhausted. My body was healing. I figured this was all part of it.

Thank GOD I know my body.

They released me from my local hospital, and the very next day I had a follow-up appointment with my OB because of the high blood pressure I had experienced Sunday.

I had NEVER had high blood pressure during my pregnancy or immediately after having my daughter.

My first blood pressure cuff wasn’t working correctly. So I went and bought another one… and she told me that one was wrong too.

So she took my blood pressure herself.

170/90.

They admitted me.

I had fluid on my lungs and ended up staying in the hospital for another two days.

And I’m sharing this because I genuinely had NO IDEA this could happen after you have your baby.

MAMAS — YOU CAN GET PREECLAMPSIA AFTER DELIVERY.

Even if you had a perfectly healthy pregnancy.
Even if you worked out.
Even if you lifted weights.
Even if you ate healthy.
Even if you gained a “healthy” amount of weight.

I worked out throughout my pregnancy. I lifted. I ate well. I gained only 16 pounds.

And none of that meant I was immune.

Sometimes there are things completely outside of our control.

I’m not sharing this to scare anyone. I’m sharing it because if one mom reads this and thinks, “Wait… something doesn’t feel right,” and gets checked, then sharing my story was worth it.

Listen to your body.

If you’re postpartum, consider having a blood pressure cuff at home and knowing what your normal readings are. Postpartum preeclampsia can develop after delivery, including weeks after you’ve had your baby.

I thought I was just recovering.

I wasn’t.

So please, mamas — don’t ignore the feeling that something isn’t right just because you already had your baby.

You know your body. Trust it. Get checked. ❤️

If this helps even one mom, share it. You never know who needs to hear it. 💓

10 days. Just 10 freaking days until I meet this baby girl. 🤍

And somehow I’m still in the gym. 😂

Not throwing around my heaviest weights. Not chasing PRs. Not trying to prove anything.

Just moving.

Because at this point, movement feels less about getting stronger and more about reminding my body, “Hey, we’re still in this.”

Some workouts feel great. Some feel awkward as hell. Some days I feel strong and capable, and other days I’m just trying to figure out how the hell I’m supposed to squat around this belly. 😂

But I keep showing up.

I’ve spent this pregnancy trying to maintain as much strength and muscle as I could, and now that we’re down to the final 10 days, my priorities have shifted.

Move my body.
Listen to my body.
Keep my strength.
Don’t overdo it.
And make it to the finish line.

There’s no shame in backing off the weight. There’s no trophy for being the most hardcore pregnant woman in the gym. Showing you & tills even whe things get hard to keep on going! 💓

Sometimes being strong means knowing when to slow down.

So here we are… 10 days left.
Still lifting. Still moving. Still strong.
Just a very pregnant version of strong. 😂🤰🏼

Baby girl, we’re ready for you. 🤍

Can always count of tills to keep me humble in these hard days 😂😂😂💜💜💜💜💜

Almost 34 weeks

With both of my pregnancies, I’ve had gestational diabetes no matter how healthy I’ve eaten or how active I’ve been placenta seems to get me everytime 😂😂💜While I can’t control everything, I can control how I take care of my body. That’s why I’m continuing to lift weights and stay active—to help maintain as much muscle as I can, support a healthy pregnancy, and prepare my body for recovery.

It definitely hasn’t been easy. Some days the motivation just isn’t there, and today was one of those days.

So I let my 3-year-old take over and create my workout. 😂 Of course, she picked all my least favorite exercises, but she also reminded me that movement doesn’t have to be serious to be meaningful.

Today’s workout wasn’t about lifting the heaviest or having the perfect session. It was simply about moving my body, making memories with my little girl, and showing up anyway. ❤️💪

33 weeks pregnant.🤰

one of the most raw moments I can share with you, being in one of my most vulnerable seasons of life. Feeling strong in other ways then just under the bar today.

This season has been one of the most humbling of my life.

The weights are lighter. The workouts are slower. My balance is different. Recovery takes longer. Thanks to relaxin, my joints and ligaments are loosening to prepare my body for birth, which means I have to train smarter, not harder.

Some days I miss the strength I had before pregnancy.

But then I look over… and my 3-year-old is right beside me.

She isn’t watching how much weight is on the bar. She isn’t keeping track of my PRs. She’s watching her mom choose to move her body, take care of herself, and keep showing up—even when it’s hard.

That reminder changes everything.

I’m not working out because I need to prove something. I’m working out because I want to stay as healthy and strong as possible for this baby, prepare my body for labor and recovery, and show my girls that exercise is a celebration of what our bodies can do—not a punishment for what they look like.

The truth is, pregnancy is humbling. You don’t always recognize your body. Progress looks different. Your ego has to take a back seat.

But maybe that’s where the biggest growth happens.

Because strength isn’t always measured by the weight on the bar. Sometimes it’s choosing consistency when motivation is low. Sometimes it’s modifying instead of quitting. Sometimes it’s simply showing up.

If my daughters grow up remembering that their mom moved her body because she loved it—not because she hated it… if they learn that health matters in every season, even the difficult ones… then every interrupted workout, every modification, and every slower pace will have been worth it.

The little eyes watching us today become the habits they carry tomorrow.

And that’s a legacy I’m proud to build. 🤍

🤰24.5 weeks- strugglin this week 🤣🤣 pregnancy will always be humbling .

Growing a baby and still showing up to lift is no small thing 💪🤰

Strength training during pregnancy has so many benefits for both mom & baby when done safely.( did you know I’m pregnant & post natal certified? )

✨ Benefits for Mom:
• Helps reduce back pain & pelvic discomfort
• Builds strength and endurance for labor & delivery
• Supports better posture as your body changes
• Can improve energy, mood, and sleep
• Helps maintain muscle and healthy weight gain
• May lower risk of gestational diabetes & high blood pressure
• Speeds up postpartum recovery

✨ Benefits for Baby:
• Improved blood flow & oxygen delivery
• Supports healthy growth and development
• Research shows exercise during pregnancy may benefit baby’s heart health and brain development
• Creates a healthier environment in the womb overall

Pregnancy isn’t the time to “prove” anything — it’s the time to move with intention, strength, and respect for your changing body. Some days look heavy, some days look slower, and both are okay 🤍
