For many exercise was either very limited during pregnancy or at least toned down to being a lot less than before pregnancy. Therefore muscles not worked in the way they were being worked before. Along with your pelvic floor and core muscles being directly affected by pregnancy being stretched and weakened.
Cardio is advised during pregnancy to keep to ‘being able to talk at the same time’ therefore you probably found you did not push yourself to feeling that cardio burn like before becoming pregnant.
Then there is the birth itself which can take a big toll on the body whether vaginal or c-sec. REMEMBER it is not normal to be able to feel ‘GOOD’ after giving birth and your body will need to take time to recover and repair itself from the tolls of pregnancy and the birth itself. Then it will also take time for your pelvic floor and core to strengthen, your muscles to become stronger again and your fitness to return.
No one can become toned, strong and fit in a matter of days. It takes weeks and in most cases months to regain especially if done in the correct and safe way of building up slowly and gradually.
