Pregnancy changed her body a lot: the girl had to re-learn to accept herself and work on herself.
“Sheena Pierce, personal trainer” – reads the caption in the profile header under the photo of a cheerful smiling girl. The pictures in the tape match: the mother of two children is always positive, in good shape, and she breathes with energy. But four years ago she could not bring herself to leave the house, she was so bad.
Then Sheena had just become a mother: she had adorable twins. The birth was very difficult: it lasted four days, with many breaks. Then postpartum depression rolled over: there was no strength for anything, Sheena was constantly crying because she was a bad mother, in her opinion.
“For the first two months after Nicole and Harper were born, I got up every hour at night to feed or comfort my daughters. Because of the breaks, it was difficult for me to walk, I could not sit at all. The first month, it seems, I only cried, ”says Sheena.
Her doctor advised the young mother to walk more. But she felt too tired and overwhelmed for such a feat.
Looking at myself in the mirror was also scary. The once tucked-up flat tummy has turned into a kind of deflated ball. The folds of skin hung sadly, not adding to Sheena’s optimism.
“Three months passed like this. Only then did I feel the strength to somehow get up and leave the house for a walk with the children, ”the girl continues.
Gradually, Sheena’s mental state returned to normal. First walks, then home workouts – only 15 minutes a day, but this is better than nothing. The body began to bounce back and it was inspiring. Sheena now trains five times a week and even participates in fitness bikini contests. And this despite the fact that the sagging skin on the stomach has not gone anywhere. The girl just managed to accept the changed reality and her new body. It won’t be to others without plastic.
“There are times when I want to get rid of stretch marks and sagging sagging skin. But in fact, I am very proud of my body: it is capable of a lot. I stopped being shy when I realized that even nulliparous girls have bellies. And skin is just skin, ”the mother of two shrugs.
