Sydney Warner Discusses Feeling ‘Anxious and Uncomfortable’ at the Gym Post-Pregnancy
Keeping it real.
Fans first met Bachelor Nation star Sydney Hightower Warner on Season 24 of “The Bachelor,” and while things didn’t work out with Peter Weber, Sydney has continued to share her life with fans on social media.
Shortly after her time on “The Bachelor,” Sydney met NFL star Fred Warner, and the two have been inseparable since.
The two got married in 2022 and welcomed their first child, Beau, in March 2024.
Now, almost a year postpartum, Sydney is getting candid about her post-baby anxiety at the gym and why she felt like she had to “hide” her body.
Alongside a photo of herself at the gym, Sydney shared that she had an “aha moment.”
She wrote, “Ever since having Beau I always get so nervous to take off my jacket in a workout class? I honestly have no idea what it is. In all my workouts before having him I wouldn't even think twice about just wearing my leggings and a sports bra, even when I was pregnant I would have my full belly out and not think twice!”
Sydney went on, sharing, “For whatever reason I get really anxious and uncomfortable now post pregnancy. It's like my subconscious is telling me to hide? Idk. All of that to say, today I took it off and it felt a little bit empowering? It’s a very small thing, but it really made me feel like I wasn’t holding back or ‘hiding’ myself. Idk weird thought but just thought I’d share that with any mommy’s. Never let anything dull your sparkle. Even post pregnancy anxiety.”
We love how honest and open Sydney has been about her postpartum journey and we know it is helping many other moms going through something similar.
