[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is really sad. Please consider a nanny or at least a share.[/quote]
OP again. What is really sad about this? I see from the responses that maybe I'm being a bit idealistic, and I'll totally accept that. But most of the moms I know did daycare got back in shape within a year of having a baby so I don't understand why I'm being crucified for asking about how to fit in a workout and saying I'm going to send my baby to daycare.[/quote]

Crucified???  Are you new here?  The responses you have gotten have been very kind and practical except for just a few.  You really need to toughen up a bit if you are going to ask for advice here.[/quote]

OP, I apologize on behalf of the DCUM community. Please understand that there are a lot of people on these boards who literally spend their days bullying people online for fun. It's kind of sad.

It sounds like you've already figured out that having a baby and maintaining a regular workout routine will be hard. What it looks like for you is really dependent on a lot of factors including your baby's temperament, how fast they feed, whether you are breastfeeding, how well you and the baby sleep, etc. I think the best advice given here is to take it real slow after giving birth. Your body will have been through a lot and your priority should be to heal first. Beyond that, you'll figure it out. It is good you want to prioritize your wellness as a new mom. I didn't and it was rough. You're going to be a great mom. And daycare is awesome btw, ignore the insecure naysayers here.[/quote]
OP here - thank you. I'm a planner and what I am taking away from this thread is that I can plan all I want but reality may look different, so I'll just need to see what life looks like when baby gets here and then figure out how I can fit in my own wellness wherever that may be.[/quote]
