Baby is one, I'm cleared, I have no core to speak of and haven't run since 2024. Do I just... go? Or is there a sensible on-ramp that isn't 'couch to 5k' for someone who used to run 10ks?

I can fit two fingers in above my belly button, less below. I've read that two is fine and also that two is a problem, depending on the website. Is there an actual answer here or is everyone guessing?

Specifically people who train pregnant and postpartum bodies properly, not general PTs who'll hand you a plank at six weeks. If you've worked with someone who knew what they were doing, I want them listed. Names below please.

Had my six week appointment, was told I'm cleared for all normal activity, and the whole thing took four minutes. Nobody looked at my abs, nobody asked about leaking. I can feel a gap above my belly button. Am I supposed to just... start running? What did your six week check actually cover?

Before pregnancy I enjoyed HIIT-style workouts at F45. It's been a couple years, and I'm looking for ways to ease back into my regular fitness routines at home. Any online workout recs?
