Women Fitness team catches up with Harman Sidhu on her postpartum weight loss, diet, fitness routine & lifestyle in a candid conversation!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You left a professional career as an educationist and choose to become a postpartum fitness influencer? Share the series of events that led to this shift in your professional life?
Ms. Harman Sidhu:
Well it was not really something that I planned or always wanted to do . Like any other women who becomes a mother I just took a lil break from my existing job as a teacher and coordinator from the school and hoped to join it back as soon as I could . I had a C-section and suffered major postpartum depression I was so consumed being a mother that I just could not imagine or think of going back to my job . It was just too much for me to do . Once I mentally and physically got the hang of motherhood all I could think of was I want to look and feel like my old self this is not me.
And honestly somewhere I had this pressure that my husband is a bodybuilding fitness coach he had so many amazing transformations to his credit and I felt like the world would not just judge me but him too if I was not able to loose my weight postpartum all this stress added up and made life miserable.
My husband calmed me down and told me that I just need to start leaving the rest to me and that’s exactly what I did. So during my long never-ending breastfeeding sessions I would keep scrolling through Instagram desperately trying to look for Indian women who had a c section and who lost all the weight and I would get so mad and I would keep telling my husband why can’t I find anyone Indian women for inspiration I mean I have no option but to follow fit moms across the globe except for India and he said you know if you can’t find one just be one. That made me think so I just started to share my journey and I was overwhelmed with the response. Since then there has been no looking back I didn’t feel like going back to the old job I turned full-time into content creation instead of following into my husband’s footsteps in the fitness world and turning into a coach. I felt like content creation is something that made me way happier.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
At what age did you conceive & did you suffer with issues like morning sickness Was it a normal delivery or a c-section?
Ms. Harman Sidhu:
I was 28 when I conceived and I suffered major morning sickness I was on medication from day one of my pregnancy to the day I delivered. I also had severe eczema during pregnancy. I had a C-section not a planned one which literally put me in shock .
