Pregnancy Loss

From the team at BumptUp®, we want to express our sincerest sympathy for your recent pregnancy loss. We know this is a very challenging time for you, both emotionally and physically. We want you to know that we are here to support you.  

As creators of BumptUp® and a team of mostly women, many of us know what you are going through because we ourselves have been there too. Please know that you are not alone in your grief right now. We know you are likely experiencing many feelings – grief, pain, sadness, anger- and every single one of them is valid. And you should not feel rushed to move past any emotion; take your time and grieve in whatever way you feel is best for you and those who love you.  

If you need a break from our services, we understand. Please reach out to us directly if you have any trouble pausing or cancelling your services. We will do our part to ensure you do not receive any messaging that could trigger you to feel additional sadness. The last thing we want to do is cause you more hurt.  

One of the best things you can do is take care of yourself right now. Exercise can be a great way to make you feel better. We also know that you may or may not want to consider yourself postpartum, but the reality is that you are. Your body has been through a pregnancy and needs the same TLC that all women need after a loss or a live birth. We would like to encourage you to utilize our postpartum training plan. This entails gentle movement for 4 weeks, then easing back into a consistent exercise routine.

If the goal is to try for another pregnancy in the future, getting yourself back to optimal health is going to be so important! And we want to be there for you every step of the way! If you don’t think you can or want to become pregnant again, recovering and getting back to your normal exercise routine is going to help you be the best version of yourself going forward. Our exercise routines can be used by anyone, anytime!  

Again, we are so sorry for your loss.  

If you need additional support or feel that you are having difficulty coping, here are some resources you can seek out to help you. You do not have to do this alone!
