[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maximize your maternity leave to work out as much as possible and get your body closer to what you are looking for.  Think that you may need to hire a sitter or have family/friend over to get in a good workout.   Don’t under estimate your nutrition in dropping baby weight.  I have a 7 and 11 year old and it has never been the same as before kids.  The best thing I did was stayed really fit through the pregancy and then it was easier to drop it.  I would also say that imho if you are seeing moms drop the weight within a year, just start thinking they have a lot of support, aka someone else is watching the kid.  [/quote]

Do not work out as much as you can over mat leave!! If you are big into fitness the best investment you can make is rest and pelvic floor PT and easing back into walking and exercise and doing a postpartum friendly program like momma strong. My friends who jumped back into running have issues 6 years later. If it’s weight that’s the issue here, that’s also so highly individual. I’m not super thin but was back at pre-preg weight within a few weeks, something about breastfeeding makes me lose weight really fast. [/quote]
