Ali Bastian Instagram - She’s arrived! @davidcomahony and I welcomed our beautiful little girl into the world last Saturday. Isla is the proudest big sister! Our little family are snuggling in together for her fourth trimester and will be back with more news soon! ❤️
Ali Bastian Instagram - ❤️ Isla is going to be a big sister! ❤️@davidcomahony and I are over the moon to finally share our exciting news. Pick up a copy of OK! or click the link in my stories to see all the gorgeous pictures from our family shoot and read all about my pregnancy so far. ❤️ Thank you @ok_mag and your lovely team for making this shoot such a special family day for us. We had so much fun and Isla is still talking about it!! Special thanks to you all for being so kind and considerate where her allergies are concerned too. She was free to play and have fun with everyone and I LOVED every moment of feeling pampered! ❤️🤰🏼😘📸
Ali Bastian Instagram - ‘Who have you become?’ A question I was asked at a film screening a few months ago that still plays on my mind. She knew me from some of my telly work from years ago… and she was like, ‘yes, but who have you become?’ I tried to answer as honestly as I could. All I could think of to say was, ‘I’m still under construction…. Always under construction. Still learning all the time. I’m a wife, a mother, an actor, a coach, I direct, sometimes I use my skill sets to create content for people - but who have I become? I think I’m still figuring that out. Daily.’ I remember one of my biggest fears coming out of The Bill a few years ago, after an amazing ten year run on national telly… Hollyoaks first and then The Bill.. my entire 20s… was whether I knew who I was when the music stopped. I’d spent so many years with other people’s voices in my head… would I even know how to begin hear my own? Honestly… it’s taken time, it was quiet at first… almost inaudible, but little by little… ❤️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Thank you so much @ok_mag for sharing the news of our baby girl’s arrival! 🌸🌸🌸 Catch up on all the news of her birth in this week’s Ok! Magazine *Link in my stories*
Ali Bastian Instagram - Merry Christmas from ours to yours!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Somehow managed to scramble together Christmas lunch by 12 - in time for Isla’s lunch! I’m hopeful we’ve all started to turn the Covid corner. That was an unexpected Christmas curveball! Very grateful to be hauled up with my little fam. Sending so much love to you all ❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Ali Bastian Instagram - Got in a bit of a photo hole last night and found this old calender shot from when I was Miss December! I was never actually hugely comfortable doing these shoots and always battled to wear a swimsuit instead of a bikini… I would have worn a ski suit if they’d let me 😂 I think part of it was that these things didn’t feel terribly optional, it was very much part of being on the show I was on. I also never felt in ‘good enough’ shape… I kinda wish my 40 year old self could go back and have a little word with my 20 something year old self about that! On the flip side, looking back… we had a real laugh on this trip, i actually really like this shot as there is a confidence about it and it’s nice to be reminded and reflect on this season of my life ❤️ #naughties
Ali Bastian Instagram - Finally reunited with my beautiful bestie @sarahjaynedunn 💜 21 years of friendship, so much to catch up on, so much shared history- we only scratched the surface but my heart is full 💜 We started out together as babies on a hit tv show and rode the highs and lows of life, love, family and career together with our other besties @jodialbert and @carleystenson1 Through the pandemic and in my early months of motherhood… little cards in the post, Sunday morning videos to each other, our group brain-dump WhatsApp and zooming honestly kept me from feeling so alone and isolated. I’m so grateful to have you girls in my life. Not long before we will all be on the most overdue girlie weekend in history!!! I cannot wait. Love you 💜💜💜 ps. Thank you @cici_pr for such a lovely event. 📸: @jshaw_photography
Ali Bastian Instagram - So this is 40! Thank you so, so much for all of your amazing messages. I had a lovely weekend filled with friends and family time and feel very grateful, especially in light of how alarming and turbulent everything is right now. Certainly makes me want to hold my fam a little closer. In terms of turning 40… it actually feels ok! … certainly a lot better than turning 30 felt! I remember really struggling with 30 - I was on the road touring with a musical, very lonely and homesick and actually spent the day in my digs in bed with bronchitis! I remember feeling that I wasn’t at the stage I ‘should’ be, as if there where these invisible boxes I ‘should’ be ticking… crazy really… Where my 20s were non-stop career wise, my 30s seemed to be about career and relationship highs and lows and getting well and truly lost in order to begin to ‘find myself’ … only to realise that I was never really lost to begin with, I was always there… just so busy I had forgotten how to feel. How to trust my instincts, how to listen to my knowing, how to sit with myself no matter how uncomfortable and uneasy and to comfort the parts of me that needed tending to… instead of running from them. In truth, I’m still working on ALL of this… I’m putting one foot in front of the other… but if 40 has invited in anything for me, it’s the deep desire to truly show up for myself and in turn, show up fully for those around me. 💜💫 *edited* It has just been brought to my attention that I have a baby wipe stuck to my foot in this photo 🤣… and that’s ok with me too. I’m here for all of it 😂💜
Ali Bastian Instagram - Thinking a lot about identity at the moment and the many facets of my life - the different hats I wear… and then my iPhone throws up these pics today! I wonder where she’s been hiding!? Sure she’s still in there somewhere!? #reclaimingthepiecesofme

Ali Bastian Instagram - Me and bump. There are some amazing women doing so much for postpartum body positivity. I have pretty substanstial diastasis recti from my previous pregnancy and two umblical hernias that have well and truly ‘popped’ as well as my bump! I’m not quite ready to reveal all of that for the world to see but I love my bump and I also wanted to give a big shout out to @hotmilklingerie who kindly gifted me this maternity/nursing bra. I bought loads of their bras when I was carrying Isla and lived in them through my breastfeeding journey which only ended when I was three months preggo with this one!! I love that they allow me to celebrate all the parts of me… the parts that are mothering, growing and sustaining life… and the part that is a sexy 40 year old woman. Thanks @hotmilklingerie ❤️#pregnancy #secondtrimester #breastfeeding #maternity #underwear
Ali Bastian Instagram - *Trigger warning - Grief*. My little one will be 12 weeks this Saturday. The End of the fourth trimester - the end of a period that has been one of the toughest of my life. A week after she was born, I lost one of my oldest and closest friends. Trying to process this enormous loss whilst walking the hormonal tightrope of my postpartum period has been and remains to be incredibly intense. I’ve taken to having long showers so I can cry and let it all out so that I can then return to parenting a little lighter. Knowing that such life changing events happening in such close succession could leave my mental health sailing incredibly close to the wind has meant I’ve had to seek help wherever I could find it. I have an incredible councillor I’ve seen for many years, we hired a Doula to support me as in the midst of all this my c-section stopped healing and is still not completely resolved, making it hard to do even the simplest things like lifting my baby and I’m forever grateful to @thehumanmethoduk who is helping me heal some of this somatically and stay grounded. Some days are easier than others and I am holding my babies tightly but ultimately… I miss my friend with all my heart. My beautiful, funny, dry as f**k friend. I miss her laugh, I miss our short hand. I miss our hugs when we hadn’t seen each other for ages. Our always long overdue catch ups over wine by the river. Friday nights when I would drive from wherever I had been filming to crash out on her and her dear husband’s sofa after a take away. So many memories, so many happy times. An incredible light went out that day. Lou, I will love you forever ❤️ xxx ps. These photos were from a magazine shoot we did years ago about being best friends. They are amongst some of my favourites of us. I can’t remember who the photographer was so I can’t credit but I hope if they see these they don’t mind me posting them ❤️

Ali Bastian Instagram - Thank you from the bottom of my heart to my girls @sarahjaynedunn @carleystenson1 @jodialbert (we missed you!! 💖) For my most AMAZING Birthday treat!!!! Spa treatments, bubbles and the most overdue catch-ups 💖💖💖🌈 Love you girls so much, thank you, thank you, thank you. Heart full 💖💖💖
Ali Bastian Instagram - This year has been a year of sailing the lonely sea of grief. I haven’t spoken about it and so it’s been very tricky to know how to begin to show up authentically here and in my professional life… as the life I have carved out for myself is a very visible one and at times, a lot of times… I have wanted and needed to pull the duvet over my head. I am so grateful for the kindness, support and connection in this little corner of the internet and will continue to be here when I feel able and to also take the quiet time I need. I was really inspired by a post by @jvn and they way in which they were able to show up in the honesty and rawness of grief whilst honouring their own privacy and need to quietly process. My hope is to do the same here. I love being an actor, I love sharing fun and honest content on here and so appreciate all of your support ♥️
Ali Bastian Instagram - Anyone else feeling really Octobery???? I’ve been in such a funk the last couple of days, as if I could feel the storm brewing. I couldn’t connect with what it was that was going on for me, I just felt heavy, tired and anxty. Then, strangely, it all came to a head. I’d been referred for a scan about 8 months ago as I’ve had terrible mid-cycle pain since having Isla, I’d figured the wait must have been due to the pandemic, so I put it to the back of my mind. After a chat with @angeliquepanagos yesterday, I got the cosmic kick up the arse to chase it up - only to discover that I wasn’t on the list at all and that I was considered a ‘no show’ as I’d ‘missed’ two appointments - I hadn’t received a single letter! Maybe the post, maybe hospital admin… who knows. I was also told brilliantly the NHS aims to see you in 5 weeks if you have been referred for a scan. I had no idea! So I was told they could squeeze me in today as they had a cancellation. And then it hit me, the fear that I had buried that something was wrong. The guilt that I had put myself and my health to the very bottom of the endless ‘to do list.’ I’d let myself slip through the net - I know better than do do that - and I was afraid. I’ve always tried to brave things out and have struggled to name my emotions in the moment - but I thought I’d try something different. So I rang my mum. I rang my mum and told her how scared I was … and then I cried and cried some more. I told her I was tired as I’d had little sleep and by the end of the conversation I felt more able to walk into the appointment alone. I had the loveliest sonographer and I thought I would try it again… ‘I’m nervous about this procedure and I’m scared about the results… this has waited far too long and I’ve been in a lot of pain.’ She heard me. She was so kind and thorough and at the end, gave me the all clear! And exhale!!! I walked out of her room and there standing in the corridor was my little mum, who had managed somehow to talk her way into the hospital (definitely where I get my negotiation skills from.) She gave me the biggest hug and I cried some more. I am a mother now, but in that moment, I needed my mum… and there she was.
Ali Bastian Instagram - Last bump pic the night before going in to deliver Izzy. 💜 So full of emotions and anticipation! It wasn’t such a smooth ride c-section wise this time. I’ve gone on to have really delayed healing with my incision, it’s been so frustrating and really easy to feel like it’s me vs my body on this very different postpartum journey. I have my beautiful baby girl in my arms now and so important to remember what a tremendous journey my body has been on! Trying to be kind to myself, but also so hard to move forward in any way until I’m properly healed. Fingers crossed I’m on the mend now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💜💫 Body suit @jorgen_house #gift

Ali Bastian Instagram - 30 weeks today!! 🤰🏼 #bumpdate Feeling ready to fully enter hibernation mode, especially with this cold weather - two year old has other ideas! In some ways it’s probably not the worst thing that she is helping me stay reasonably active. I’m still managing my Gestational Diabetes with diet - although never sure how long that will be for - I’m trying to not be too attached to the idea I can ‘control’ it and accept that if I need medication then that’s what I will do to keep me and bubba safe. Keeping moving more than I did in first pregnancy has got to be a good thing though! It’s hard to not be able to eat what I feel like - which honestly, most of the time is cake!! I miiiisssss caaaake!! And chocolate and crisps and did I mention cake??? Also top tip for anyone else preggo in this cold weather.. @seraphinematernity do this fleece lined set of thermals that I got a few weeks back when I was filming outside all day! 🎬❤️And their 3 in 1 Maternity to baby wearing parka is a faux fur lined dream that comes with an extra panel for baby wearing with a little hood. I was a big baby wearer with Isla and really hope to carry our new bubba! Swipe for frosty photo dump! 💜 #thirdtrimester #pregnancy #bump #gift

Ali Bastian Instagram - We got away for TWO WHOLE blissful nights!!! 10 minutes from where I grew up… When I was little, my parents had a difficult divorce and we weren’t in a financial position to go away on holl with my Mum for many years. One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!…. So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

Ali Bastian Instagram - We got away for TWO WHOLE blissful nights!!! 10 minutes from where I grew up… When I was little, my parents had a difficult divorce and we weren’t in a financial position to go away on holl with my Mum for many years. One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!…. So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

Ali Bastian Instagram - I. Want. More. Almost sounds like dirty words doesn’t it!? More support, more strength, more balance… more me. I woke up on the morning of my 40th birthday with the dawning realisation that I had slipped down to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. I had been invited to go and see a fab women’s health physio… and I had put it off FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS!! I messaged @martadowner @letowoman that morning and asked if it was ‘too late for me.’.. As that’s where I was at with the whole thing. Turns out it’s not! Turns out for me, it was probably just the right time… to sit down with another women and share the history of my body and the story that it’s currently telling.. of hyper mobility and injuries, of pregnancy, GD, SPD, birth and c-section, of beginning my parenting journey one week before lockdown… of my current feelings of disconnect with my tummy and soaring stress levels with the hyper-vigilance involved in raising a toddler with multiple severe allergies. What also transpired in that meeting was that I really miss dancing! I miss connecting with the energy of group exercise and the positive feelings attached to it. I came out feeling lighter, feeling seen heard and understood. YES to loving our postpartum bodies, YES to body positivity AND also a big YES to seeking out the help and support we need and deserve because there are things we don’t have to live with, healing can happen at any time and particularly for us lock down mammas who may not have gotten the help that we needed to unpack what we’ve been through, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Marta for being part of my journey back to me. I will forever be grateful. 🙏🏻💜⭐️ #collab women #womenshealth #womenshealthphysio #collaboration #gift #thankyou #postpartum #postpartumbody

She knew me from some of my telly work from years ago… and she was like, ‘yes, but who have you become?’ I tried to answer as honestly as I could. All I could think of to say was, ‘I’m still under construction…. Always under construction. Still learning all the time. I’m a wife, a mother, an actor, a coach, I direct, sometimes I use my skill sets to create content for people - but who have I become? I think I’m still figuring that out. Daily.’ I remember one of my biggest fears coming out of The Bill a few years ago, after an amazing ten year run on national telly… Hollyoaks first and then The Bill.. my entire 20s… was whether I knew who I was when the music stopped. I’d spent so many years with other people’s voices in my head… would I even know how to begin hear my own? Honestly… it’s taken time, it was quiet at first… almost inaudible, but little by little… ❤️

I was never actually hugely comfortable doing these shoots and always battled to wear a swimsuit instead of a bikini… I would have worn a ski suit if they’d let me 😂 I think part of it was that these things didn’t feel terribly optional, it was very much part of being on the show I was on. I also never felt in ‘good enough’ shape… I kinda wish my 40 year old self could go back and have a little word with my 20 something year old self about that! On the flip side, looking back… we had a real laugh on this trip, i actually really like this shot as there is a confidence about it and it’s nice to be reminded and reflect on this season of my life ❤️ #naughties

I had a lovely weekend filled with friends and family time and feel very grateful, especially in light of how alarming and turbulent everything is right now. Certainly makes me want to hold my fam a little closer. In terms of turning 40… it actually feels ok! … certainly a lot better than turning 30 felt! I remember really struggling with 30 - I was on the road touring with a musical, very lonely and homesick and actually spent the day in my digs in bed with bronchitis! I remember feeling that I wasn’t at the stage I ‘should’ be, as if there where these invisible boxes I ‘should’ be ticking… crazy really… Where my 20s were non-stop career wise, my 30s seemed to be about career and relationship highs and lows and getting well and truly lost in order to begin to ‘find myself’ … only to realise that I was never really lost to begin with, I was always there… just so busy I had forgotten how to feel. How to trust my instincts, how to listen to my knowing, how to sit with myself no matter how uncomfortable and uneasy and to comfort the parts of me that needed tending to… instead of running from them. In truth, I’m still working on ALL of this… I’m putting one foot in front of the other… but if 40 has invited in anything for me, it’s the deep desire to truly show up for myself and in turn, show up fully for those around me. 💜💫 *edited* It has just been brought to my attention that I have a baby wipe stuck to my foot in this photo 🤣… and that’s ok with me too. I’m here for all of it 😂💜

I have pretty substanstial diastasis recti from my previous pregnancy and two umblical hernias that have well and truly ‘popped’ as well as my bump! I’m not quite ready to reveal all of that for the world to see but I love my bump and I also wanted to give a big shout out to @hotmilklingerie who kindly gifted me this maternity/nursing bra. I bought loads of their bras when I was carrying Isla and lived in them through my breastfeeding journey which only ended when I was three months preggo with this one!! I love that they allow me to celebrate all the parts of me… the parts that are mothering, growing and sustaining life… and the part that is a sexy 40 year old woman.

Likes : 2030Ali Bastian - 2K Likes - *Trigger warning - Grief*. My little one will be 12 weeks this Saturday. The End of the fourth trimester - the end of a period that has been one of the toughest of my life. A week after she was born, I lost one of my oldest and closest friends. Trying to process this enormous loss whilst walking the hormonal tightrope of my postpartum period has been and remains to be incredibly intense. I’ve taken to having long showers so I can cry and let it all out so that I can then return to parenting a little lighter. Knowing that such life changing events happening in such close succession could leave my mental health sailing incredibly close to the wind has meant I’ve had to seek help wherever I could find it. I have an incredible councillor I’ve seen for many years, we hired a Doula to support me as in the midst of all this my c-section stopped healing and is still not completely resolved, making it hard to do even the simplest things like lifting my baby and I’m forever grateful to @thehumanmethoduk who is helping me heal some of this somatically and stay grounded. Some days are easier than others and I am holding my babies tightly but ultimately… I miss my friend with all my heart. My beautiful, funny, dry as f**k friend. I miss her laugh, I miss our short hand. I miss our hugs when we hadn’t seen each other for ages. Our always long overdue catch ups over wine by the river. Friday nights when I would drive from wherever I had been filming to crash out on her and her dear husband’s sofa after a take away. So many memories, so many happy times. An incredible light went out that day. Lou, I will love you forever ❤️ xxx ps. These photos were from a magazine shoot we did years ago about being best friends. They are amongst some of my favourites of us. I can’t remember who the photographer was so I can’t credit but I hope if they see these they don’t mind me posting them ❤️

I am so grateful for the kindness, support and connection in this little corner of the internet and will continue to be here when I feel able and to also take the quiet time I need. I was really inspired by a post by @jvn and they way in which they were able to show up in the honesty and rawness of grief whilst honouring their own privacy and need to quietly process. My hope is to do the same here. I love being an actor, I love sharing fun and honest content on here and so appreciate all of your support ♥️

Likes : 1934Ali Bastian - 1.9K Likes - Anyone else feeling really Octobery???? I’ve been in such a funk the last couple of days, as if I could feel the storm brewing. I couldn’t connect with what it was that was going on for me, I just felt heavy, tired and anxty. Then, strangely, it all came to a head. I’d been referred for a scan about 8 months ago as I’ve had terrible mid-cycle pain since having Isla, I’d figured the wait must have been due to the pandemic, so I put it to the back of my mind. After a chat with @angeliquepanagos yesterday, I got the cosmic kick up the arse to chase it up - only to discover that I wasn’t on the list at all and that I was considered a ‘no show’ as I’d ‘missed’ two appointments - I hadn’t received a single letter! Maybe the post, maybe hospital admin… who knows. I was also told brilliantly the NHS aims to see you in 5 weeks if you have been referred for a scan. I had no idea! So I was told they could squeeze me in today as they had a cancellation. And then it hit me, the fear that I had buried that something was wrong. The guilt that I had put myself and my health to the very bottom of the endless ‘to do list.’ I’d let myself slip through the net - I know better than do do that - and I was afraid. I’ve always tried to brave things out and have struggled to name my emotions in the moment - but I thought I’d try something different. So I rang my mum. I rang my mum and told her how scared I was … and then I cried and cried some more. I told her I was tired as I’d had little sleep and by the end of the conversation I felt more able to walk into the appointment alone. I had the loveliest sonographer and I thought I would try it again… ‘I’m nervous about this procedure and I’m scared about the results… this has waited far too long and I’ve been in a lot of pain.’ She heard me. She was so kind and thorough and at the end, gave me the all clear! And exhale!!! I walked out of her room and there standing in the corridor was my little mum, who had managed somehow to talk her way into the hospital (definitely where I get my negotiation skills from.) She gave me the biggest hug and I cried some more. I am a mother now, but in that moment, I needed my mum… and there she was.

I’ve gone on to have really delayed healing with my incision, it’s been so frustrating and really easy to feel like it’s me vs my body on this very different postpartum journey. I have my beautiful baby girl in my arms now and so important to remember what a tremendous journey my body has been on! Trying to be kind to myself, but also so hard to move forward in any way until I’m properly healed. Fingers crossed I’m on the mend now! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻💜💫 Body suit @jorgen_house #gift

One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!…. So we could order room service, watch cartoons in bed and use the swimming pool like the two little water babies we were - and still are! We felt like lottery winners!! I now have a deeper understanding of the very real need my mum must have had for a change of scene and to mementarily simplify life with two small children. I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster! If all else failed, there would always be tea and toast! We had hotel room picnics, swam like little fish and fed the ducks their peas and sweet corn. I feel recharged. It was a huge win for us as a family and a change was definitely a good rest! 💞

One of my fondest memories growing up was her booking a night for us at the Holiday Inn as a treat… around the corner from where we lived!!….

I’m so lucky that I have been able to travel in my adult life and dreamed of doing that with my new little family in tow… but with Covid lockdowns and learning how to keep my little one safe with multiple food allergies, it was something that started to feel so out of reach… then I remembered my Mum packing us up in the car for our ‘mini-adventure’ and I thought… I can do this! Like a little homing pigeon, I drove us all back to my home town. We packed a car full of safe foods and asked the hotel to empty the mini-bar to keep our food cold. We snuck in a toaster!

Likes : 1401Ali Bastian - 1.4K Likes - I. Want. More. Almost sounds like dirty words doesn’t it!? More support, more strength, more balance… more me. I woke up on the morning of my 40th birthday with the dawning realisation that I had slipped down to the bottom of the ‘to do’ list. I had been invited to go and see a fab women’s health physio… and I had put it off FOR TWO WHOLE YEARS!! I messaged @martadowner @letowoman that morning and asked if it was ‘too late for me.’.. As that’s where I was at with the whole thing. Turns out it’s not! Turns out for me, it was probably just the right time… to sit down with another women and share the history of my body and the story that it’s currently telling.. of hyper mobility and injuries, of pregnancy, GD, SPD, birth and c-section, of beginning my parenting journey one week before lockdown… of my current feelings of disconnect with my tummy and soaring stress levels with the hyper-vigilance involved in raising a toddler with multiple severe allergies. What also transpired in that meeting was that I really miss dancing! I miss connecting with the energy of group exercise and the positive feelings attached to it. I came out feeling lighter, feeling seen heard and understood. YES to loving our postpartum bodies, YES to body positivity AND also a big YES to seeking out the help and support we need and deserve because there are things we don’t have to live with, healing can happen at any time and particularly for us lock down mammas who may not have gotten the help that we needed to unpack what we’ve been through, physically, emotionally and spiritually. Thank you Marta for being part of my journey back to me. I will forever be grateful. 🙏🏻💜⭐️ #collab women #womenshealth #womenshealthphysio #collaboration #gift #thankyou #postpartum #postpartumbody
