I’M A MAMA 🥹
Yes, I really had a baby lol. And it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me.

This whole experience has been the most precious thing in my life and keeping it private was important to me.

Subscribe to get the inside scoop of my motherhood journey. Too many doc appointments, iron infusions, preeclampsia, colitis, maternity modeling, fitness…

Definitely didn’t take this pic with the intention of posting about this. But let’s normalize dealing with invisible illnesses.

My ulcerative colitis journey started a year ago and I haven’t found a treatment that works for me. I've been hospitalized twice in the past 3 months because my symptoms have been so severe. I wasn't even able to drink water without unbearable pain. Having the ability to nourish your body should never be taken for granted.

I have quite the healthy history - I had a stroke at 23. Turns out my thyroid disease caused atrial flutter which caused my stroke. Being that I'm weak and malnourished, some of my stroke symptoms have come back. I'm limping again, it's harder for me to focus, and my speech can get a bit slurred. To say that my colitis has taken a toll on me is an understatement.

I made fitness my career after recovering because I gained an immense appreciation for the body and I made it my mission to show others their strength. After enough speech, occupational, and physical therapy, I began to workout. I knew I wanted to empower others. Making people feel good is what makes me feel good.

I don't know how long it's going to take for me to find a treatment that works for me and I definitely don't know when I'll be able to really work again. I'm learning to take this day by day.

When I was first diagnosed I didn’t have insurance and now my insurance doesn’t cover all of my expenses. Please check out @mygofundme link in bio 🙏🏼

With all of this going on, I am still so thankful that my body is continuing to fight for me and continues to be my biggest cheerleader. I'm extremely grateful for what it's been getting me through. It's a long road but I know I am on the right one and that's what matters. #ulcerativecolitis #strokesurvivor taken in New York, New York by @allyberlin_
