Brittany Mahomes Shares Lessons Learned from Pregnancy and Back Injury
Pregnant Brittany Mahomes Shares Insight Into “Hardest” Journey With Baby No. 3
Brittany Mahomes knows exactly how to bounce back now.
After the Sports Illustrated model—who shares kids Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 20 months, with Patrick Mahomes and is pregnant with their third baby—fractured her back earlier this year, she detailed the best ways to recover after giving birth.
“Pelvic floor therapy and really focus on your breathing techniques or you will get injured,” Brittany explained on the Whoop podcast Aug. 28, going on to describe her own injury experience. “I obviously worked out my whole life so I had kids and then I’m like, ‘Oh I’ll just keep working out how I’ve always worked out, I’m fine.’ Well, I hurt my back.”
And Brittany admitted that it took her back fracture—which she first opened up about in March—for her to take the low impact exercises seriously.
“I went to therapy, went to chiropractor, went and got X-Rays,” she recalled. “In the end, a lot of people talk about pelvic floor therapy and strengthening your pelvic floor after you have kids and how important that is. So obviously, I started to do more of that because I was injured and that’s kind of what my therapy was.”
