Hi Jennifer
There is no reason to miss your yoga anymore. Just drink lots and remember to supplement with some good quality sea salt. It will help you and your little boy! I remember I was drinking 4-6 litres a day when I was doing yoga while breastfeeding. I was quite a prolific supplier! :cheese:
A few things for you: In the belly down poses it can be mighty uncomfortable to lie on your breasts as they fill. So in savasanas bring your arms out in front of you forearm on forearm and lay your forehead on one arm and just relax your head and neck there. No need to look to the sides as that could be uncomfortable for your neck.
Hmmm what else? Will it change your milk supply? Well, it didn’t for me. So I am not sure if the heat would do that. Some people’s supply just runs out at 6 months or 9 months or just keeps going. Robert told you I kept going for a long time. Just keep up the fluids and the salt and don’t run marathons. Just enjoy the exercise. The body shape will change without you expressly aiming for that. Too much exercise (and perhaps with the wrong intention and creating too much expectation around shape change) may have an effect. I am all for enjoying stress free yoga (albeit with great challenge) and motherhood.
PS while I remember, my pelvis changed a LOT after childbirth. For 5 months I could not get my legs together in double leg wind removing pose. If you have something like that where you need help, just pop back here onto the forum and we can work out how you can manage any differences! 😉
I hope that helps you!
Hey Bunni
Have a wonderful experience with your baby’s birth!
Namaste
