Hey girls....I dont know if my post is a bit fussy or something but I want to ask those moms what did they do after giving birth to get back your figure again....I know this is a bit funny..but everytime I am sitting alone I am thinking if can I be able to get back my figure after giving birth???bec I have seen there are a lot of moms who gain much weight after...oh my God! I dont want..dont get me wrong I love being pregnant...I eat... I sleep...I dont mind if I gain so much weight, but I am worried after this...I cant say that I got the perfect figure, but I can say that I love my body.
Is there a diet you followed? sigh...okey I hope I can get some answers somehow..(beside of going to the gym...[:(!])

Breast feed, eat sensibly and exercise. Simple. But if you have an Elle MacPherson body now and/or you want one like that, you might have to work a bit harder. Naturally, your post baby body is supposed to be different for a while at least.

You'll be fine. Just take some time - no photo shoots immediately after is there?

Do it the natural way. No hurry - take your time, when it feels right,just do it. You are the best judge of your body not anyone else.

Bad Mac!
LOL... Chubby, keep smiling and laughing besides breastfeeding. Have enough sleep and try not to be overly stressed up. Eat more greens such as brocolli and peas.

Thanks guys....[;^)]
I have got a magazine about the "fit pregnany" and I got a lot of ideas about this already, it seems that will be easy to gain back your weight after birth if you have to keep fit while you are preggy...good sleep...good food (not fatty.... no salty)and exercise....actually now I am pregnant but I didnt gain much weight(just the baby weight and size)I cant still say that only my tummy is getting big...and a bit of my hips....well...yeah thats a sacrifice of being a mother...and will be a lot more[8~2]

carang...my doctor said the best way to gain your figure back is by breastfeeding...i guess it didnt work for you bec you gained more....maybe the baby didnt suck all the food you eat....lol....(dont get me wrong with the sucking word....)

the thing is, i lost a load of weight when i was first pregnant. i lost about 9kgs! not a good way to diet! the morning sickness was absolutely terrible for me.
by the end of my pregnancy, i was only 2 kgs more than when i got pregnant.
now, i'm bigger than before. i'm trying not to worry about it. trying to eat sensibly and get more excercise. there are much more important things to worry about now that my boy is here than my weight.
i'm a little concerned because i want to have another baby next year. i don't want to get pregnant at this weight because i'll look like a whale when the baby comes! argh!
well...i've got 6 months to whittle it down to an acceptable size before i want to start trying again. wish me luck!

In the old days, they used to 'bind the stomach' after child birth.
I had a floppy belly until I wore a girdle thing (about 4 days after the birth)
and I found that it all magically sprang back in again! I think there was some merit to the old idea of 'binding the stomach'! Get yourself an elasticated girdle to wear after the birth, I truly believe it helps in supporting the skin and tissue that's been stretched.
I wait for the day when schools have all the funding they need and the airforce has to have a cake stall to raise money for a new bomber.
