Exercise with baby

[Hazel]

What are you girls all planning to do about getting figure back after baby has arrived?

I swim quite a bit but if got baby with me won't be able to do lengths. Obviously can't take baby to the gym.

I'm plannng on putting baby in pram (3 wheeler) and running up the road opposite my house which is closed to traffic so will be quite safe and good for baby to get fresh air everyday.

I am going to wait for a little while before I get back on my diet and exercising but I am planning to go back to AquaFit classes twice a week when I am ready. There is a creche at my gym that takes babies from the age of 6 weeks but I wouldn't be comfortable doing that at such an early age. I am definately going to go on lots of walks (if the scottish weather allows us! hehe) with Aimee in her pram so I am not just sitting about the house doing nothing.

Walking and jogging for me with Oscar and the dog. Hopefully I will get to go swimming one night a week when he gets a bit older too.

I also want to see if it is possible to bench press my baby

Walking, thats why I got a flashy pram. I gathered that I'd want to show it off therefore take it out walking, getting me back in shape in the process

I'm in the walking club too!!

Also said to OH that I want all my meals to be in a bowl or side plate, otherwise I know I'm eating too much (if he prepares dinner, he dishes up about the same for me as for him, and I'm half his size!)

I might try out some of my old excercise DVDs at home too, used to do Yoga Boxing and loved it, so hoping to squeeze that is whenever I have the energy.

I get this too! I have to keep telling him that if he wants me to end up the same size as him, then fair enough but that really I should be eating about two thirds of what he eats

Bet you manage to force it all down though . It's rude not to clear your plate.

I made such an error the other day. DH asked me when I think I'll get my figure back and I said (Why why??) "oh I think maybe two months." So am now trying to break the bad news to him gently that it is nine months up and nine months down. I'm certainly not going to diet if I'm breastfeeding - apparently you need more calories doing that than being pregnant!

I might treat myself to a Wii Fit. I might go back to fencing on a Wednesday night if I can persuade DH to sit at home with LO. Will probably be a while before I'm up to much though.

You know that My Mum bought me up to remember the starving children in Africa (although how me being fat, is going to help starving children in Africa is anyone's guess ).

Breast feeding!!!!

Annnnnd probably just walking I doubt I will actually make a effort to loose weight when Pips here, as long as Im happy and my OH loves me then thats what counts.
