@Maria_Faulkner 4. The mental load of a return often felt heavy, and women felt pulled in multiple directions by their competing priorities. Women spoke of guilt at the time they spent on their sport, and some felt judged by friends, family and HCP in their return PP.

@Maria_Faulkner 3. Many women experienced a sense of being in a new body (physical fitness and PF function) which they needed to get to know and had felt unprepared for. This impacted their return. There was also a shift in perspective, incl. improved balance, gratitude, and time efficiency PP.

@Maria_Faulkner 2. Regaining and reclaiming personal time, physical fitness and holistic health were powerful motivators & benefits of a PP return. Role modelling for their children was also a strong motivator for many 💪 Sadly, some felt a negative pressure to regain & reclaim fitness PP.

@Maria_Faulkner The transition to motherhood is [often] deeply challenging for women. This goes beyond the practicalities of time constraints, lack of sleep and finding childcare etc, also encompassing a profound sense of lost identity which crucially, can be regained through exercise and sport.
