    Sarah spoke about having no cellulite after having her kids, while I’m sure she did work hard this is in large part genetic. Many women naturally have cellulite despite healthy eating and exercise. No matter your size you are beautiful, just remember genetics play a large factor in the way your body looks especially after having children.

      I promise you, if you put in the time and hard work, you can do anything! I was a size 14 (UK) before having kids. Now after 4 children including 9 month old twins I'm a size 6 and it's completely due to eating healthy and working out and living a very active lifestyle overall. Having children shouldn't define how you look. It's your choices and your priorities 😃

      @@JJJakubiec I understand what you’re saying but I know many women who work really hard after having kids but their body never looks quite the same. They have a bit more cellulite, sagging skin and wider hips. Moms should be healthy in a huge advocate for that (I’m a fitness instructor myself) I just don’t want women to feel badly about themselves if they don’t look as thin as sarah after having kids because it’s not realistic for most women.

And like the vast majority of women have it and there’s no shame in having it or not having it. Sarah I don’t think is saying you can lose cellulite with exercise but she’s saying she has naturally gifted genetics. Just don’t give girls false hope. A lot of us will always have cellulite and are healthy as can be and couldn’t care less about you not having cellulite

    dude you're a freaking BADASS sarah! I feel you so hard on this. i've only been pregnant once and damn. it knocked me out. I never had pelvic pain but I was nauseated THE ENTIRE TIME. I could barely eat anything. which meant I barely had any energy. i'm typically a very active person too. (running 30+ miles a week and doing yoga for about an hour almost every day) then in pregnancy I was like "whaaaaat the frick man!" i'm 4 months PP and still don't feel like myself. you're doing incredible and I bet you're doing a lot better than you think you are. you got this.

    I totally understand where you're coming from 😭 prior to pregnancy I used to do all the things and then when the nausea and the fatigue hit so hard. All I could do was lay down and not move, I felt so unproductive, so "useless" , and just like unlike me. I was doing all the things and then all of a sudden I can't do any of it without throwing up. It's hard! I cried about it too. Giving yourself grace is hard, I'm in a much better place now. It takes time to adjust to the new reality of things but I would use this quote " Embrace this season of life, for it is just that... a season" to remind myself everyonce in a while that it's okay to be here and that it won't be like this forever ❤️

    I had 5 kids. Number 5 was sooooo hard, I was in my 30’s by then. My back went out on me completely, I was in bed for 2 weeks and in pain until I delivered at 36 weeks 6 days. That was 2002, my body healed. I did have back surgery in 2016, which scared me more than labor and pregnancy ever did. But, I have 5 beautiful children and 2 Grandchildren with number 3 on the way. My children and husband are my greatest blessings from the Lord, just think on Him and He will heal you mentally and physically. God Bless x

Then after the diagnosis, I had a reason for my situation, but it didn't change my situation. Now I am at the point where I have to accept that I have limitations. AND I DON'T LIKE THAT! Its hard.

      I, too, am very much like you, Sarah. Whenever I talk about you to my family members and friends, I continually say you are the epitome of what I've always wanted to be as a wife and mother. However, due to health issues I've dealt with since puberty, it's taken me years to fully accept that, unfortunately, I won't be able to fulfill my dreams quite to the extent that you have; AND THAT'S OKAY. To loosely quote a Disney film: "What if [life's] not everything I dreamed it would be? ... Well, that's the good part, I guess. You get to find a new dream." It's been extremely difficult letting go of my dream life, but now that I've given myself some grace, as you put it, (which I wouldn't mind seeing some merch for, FYI), watching your videos helps me fulfill that dream to some degree. I can look at your life and think that at least someone is living the way I've always wanted to live, and I am super happy about that! I admire your optimism, your strength, and your reliance on the Lord that you're not afraid to share with the rest of the world. And I want you to know that for someone who experiences what you're going through right now on a day-to-day basis, you are doing an incredible job! Lots of love, hugs, and prayers to you and your family, now and always!

I know it’s hard because pregnancy makes you feel all the feels, but try and remember that some mommas WISH they could even just walk around or workout , normally. Gratitude for what you’ve got, even if it isn’t exactly what you want! Sending love and it will get better, friend.

Sometimes a person just needs a nonjudgmental ear so they have a safe space to vent. I hope your pelvic pain doesn’t get any worse for you.

You do not think "what a looser". By asking for help You provide an opportunity for others to share, to get that good feeling of being useful and needed by other people. It helps to build community.

We are superwomen!!! We make babies, carry them, take care of everyone AND give birth AND keep going!

    Sarah, I watch you for years. You are the reason I think I can handle future pregnancies, I have my own issues where I am even scared to work out because I may make some small issues big.
    You will get through this, your body knows what to do in pregnancy, but it also does know how to bounce back. You will heal again, it will take time, you have people around you that know how to fix it and you also know that you have done this before. In Russia we say "the eyes fear but the hands do", it means thinking of all the crap you have to go through scares you, but you will be rewarded with another kid and you will work through this eventually. Also the part where your husband took 5 min to say go for it, I understand that it's a decision that you should take together, but sometimes men don't understand certain pains and issues we have to go through, I ve heard things like "it's natural for a woman to be pregnant and give birth", yet no one is really talking about consequences. Stay strong!

    I just have to say I’m so thankful for you being open about this. I’m pregnant with my third and it was a surprise. I had hoped to wait a little longer. I’ve been feeling so sick and it’s made everything so challenging. I am working through this balance of being so thankful to God for this new baby on the way, and also the shock that it happened, and the struggle of being sick. It’s hard being pregnant with two other babies! But I know God’s timing is so good. But it’s also okay to struggle with the change, and I’m thankful for you sharing because I can feel I’m not alone.

    You ARE doing great! ❤ I was in such a very similar place in my pregnancy. Sharing with church about feeling so frustrated for not being able to do what I want or need to do. An elder shared with me we are married and one with our spouse in times such as this for a reason. They become the working parts we need and roles change and shift and this is all used for good. Like you said leaning into your husband, prayer, your church. Sharing burdens build the body. Gods got this season! Thank you for sharing your journey.

    I related so much to this. I don’t have pelvis issues, but food aversions and fatigue are a major issue for me in pregnancy, and the amount of guilt that mounts up as my little home is in chaos around meals, keeping my family members fed, and staying on top of house work is overwhelming. But my husband says... would you rather have a house in chaos for the sake of a new life, or no new life and everything in order? Pregnancy is so 👏🏼 so 👏🏼 sanctifying. Praying for you, Sarah. You are so inspiring 💗💗💗

Add some chronic pain into that, and it's no wonder you're feeling defeated and taking it a little hard.

    It’s so hard to admit that I need help sometimes. I’m about 14 weeks pregnant and if I’m having a bad day with my back, it takes a lot for me to ask for help. Or if I’m exhausted, it’s sooo hard to ask for help because all I want is the energy to do it. It’s been a mental struggle through the first trimester. A lot of praying and time spent in the Word have gotten me through the rough times. ❤️

You are dealing with this so well Sarah. I was no where near as graceful with my situation. It is such a comfort just to hear another mama's challenges instead of worrying if you are the only one. Sending you love and strength, you are an inspiration to me x

    Just think about how all the body-strengthing work you've done has made you as strong as you could possibly be to face this pregnancy. Imagine how much worse it would be now if you hadn't worked out much prior to this. Most people don't. You may also find it easier to repair your body afterwards because of all the work you've done.

Prayer has been the one cornerstone, and I will keep you in my prayers! The Word is sooooo sweet during this time! Thank you for sharing. Literally paused it and showed my husband the cart pushing part because I'm beyond grateful you are willing to share that. I had it happen TODAY, no joke.

We may be weakened for the moment but that does not mean that we are weak =) cling to the Lord. I also feel you in the sense of people just assuming that everything is the worst even when you're fine and they continue to insist that life must suck and be horrible and I'm like, why? Why just tell me my life sucks haha. Anywho, praying for ya. You've got this.

    Thank you for this video. I followed your healing journey and did your ab workouts. It was instrumental in my own journey to healing my diastasis recti, after having two babies. I could totally relate to the difference between feeling physically shattered postpartum and feeling 14 again now. In fact, I am there right now, feeling better than I've ever felt since becoming a mommy. I am lifting weights, wearing crop tops and feeling grateful every day that my body is, as you said, functioning well. But I also want to have a third baby. My husband and I agree it is something we need to do. I know I will feel the way you do, since I am also petite and have a lot of devastating issues while pregnant. I feel like crying watching this video, because I relate to your desire for independence and physical accomplishments. So, again, thank you for this. I feel like I am getting to work through some future issues, or at least think about them in a real way, while watching you share. Praying for you. Thanks for all your help in my personal journey.

    I totally understand your situation. I had my husband put on my socks and carried my handbag because I had so much back pain, I couldn't. Heck, I couldn't even stand for ten minutes at a time, and I wans't even pregnant. I was so embarressed and ashamed at times. I've worked so hard to get my strenght back, and now that I'm pregnant I'm concerned for my back, so I TOTALLY get where you're coming from. Pain sucks so hard. Nobody knows how much strenght you need to deal with it until you experience it. I've just gained a lot of respect for you, I've never realised what you've been trough. Do what feels right for you. I know how hard it can be to admit to myself that I can't do something, because when I do that, then I really feel down. But we both will rock our issues through our pregnancy, I really believe, going into this with open eyes I am able to react before it gets as bad as it has been. Says the girl who has a panic attac every time the back twitches a little bit. Oh well, I also need to be gracious with myself ;)

    This just isn’t relatable. I unsubscribed before Bc I felt your delivery of some messages was....weird. Borderline arrogant. But you popped up on feed. Gave it another try, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just me. Some of your messages are just opposing other things you say and seems incongruent. I understand the hormonal roller coaster that pregnancy brings. But since it’s broadcasted publicly here instead of in a journal or something, it’s difficult to figure out the intention for the viewers. I wish you and your family the best.
