Fit4Mom Central + Western Loudoun

Love and joy are not the only emotions that can be triggered during childbirth. For some, bringing their child into the world is one of the happiest times in their life, and for others birth can result in depression. We hear you and we see you, mama.

Postpartum depression is more than the "baby blues". From exhaustion and excessive crying to thoughts of su***de, postpartum depression (PPD) is not something to be taken lightly and requires support and understanding from loved ones.
It is not a weakness and it is not your fault; any new mom can develop postpartum depression - you are not alone.

If you are feeling symptoms of PPD, seek help from your primary doctor or contact a mental health professional or contact @postpartumsupportva or the @postpartumsupportinternational helpline.

To educate yourself more about postpartum depression, follow @postpartumstress or visit their website.

Tell a mama you know that they are a warrior and an amazing mother. 💜

20 years later and Americans are still RESILIENT!
While September 11, 2001, carries a different experience for Americans across the nation, at FIT4MOM we want to honor the victims, survivors, responders, the military, witnesses, and all the unsung heroes who sacrificed or endured because of division and hate.

We want to highlight some educational sources that show how Americans have been unwavering over the past 20 years of this tragic day (even while faced with unknown adversity) while also distinguishing the lives we lost.

We shine a light on @librarycongress: The September 11 Digital Archive - Saving the Histories of September 11, 2001 - an online library of an astounding 150,000 digital items including first hand stories, sounds, videos, personal testimonies, emails, news clippings, etc. With these archives, we can continue to preserve our history and share our strength.

We honor the 184 lives lost at the Pentagon through the @pentagonmemorialfund – The Phoenix Project. This project provided a Service of Remembrance at the Pentagon site where a large American flag was folded with full military honors.

We commemorate the heroes of United Airlines Flight 93 – lost in a field in Somerset County, Pennsylvania after agreeing to fight the terrorists on their flight – preventing further loss of life. ""A common field one day, a field of honor forever. We honor the passengers and crew of Flight 93 who perished in a Pennsylvania field on September 11, 2001. Their courageous action will be remembered forever.” — Congressional Gold Medal.

We encourage you to take a moment of silence today and reflect on what this day means to you and remember the 2,977 lives that were so tragically lost. We will never forget.

We have another milestone-hitting mama to share! Kathryn S. (who is also an awesome teacher!) recently attended her 200th class! Read below to learn more about her time with FIT4MOM and be sure to leave her some 🙌❤️🙌❤️

When did you join FIT4MOM Ashburn?
- I started attending classes in December 2017 when my son was 5 months.

What is your favorite class?
- I love Strides360! I love the running between exercises. It's such an awesome workout!

What advice would you give a new mom attending her first class?
- Honestly, just go! All the mamas there have been in your place. If your kiddo cries, screams, tries to escape (lol), that's okay. We've all been there! But also, bring plenty of snacks (for the older kiddos), listen to your body, and most importantly have fun! :)

What do you love most about FIT4MOM?
- I love the support and village that comes with it. I have met so many amazing mamas. I love that we're all there to work out and do something for US but support each other when mama duties call. Like when I was side shuffling to the right and my kid wanted a snack, another mama grabbed one for him. Or when a mama was doing play group and her daughter wanted to get in the swing and be pushed, I put her right in. We share stories and make connections, and offer advice and as a mom, that's so important to know I'm not alone in my experiences in motherhood.
