Youtube has some great postnatal workouts! Some are of varying lengths like 10 minutes, which is great with having a newborn. You just have to do a search.

Basically, healthy eating, toning exercises and cardio e.g. walking will help help you get back in shape. ]]> Thu, 15 Mar 2012 12:31:56 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787729&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787729 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787661&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787661 Author: High9

Remember baby, placenta and waters will weight a fair bit too... ]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:28:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787661&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787661 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787660&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787660 Author: fadeless

Totally agree with everyone else, walk as much as you can and eat healthy and drink lots of water.]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 22:26:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787660&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787660 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787558&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787558 Author: BugTeeny

I second what SethsMama said.
I walk daily and it definitely helped.
I only gained 7kg during both of my pregnancies, but I lost about 15kg after each within a couple of months. 5kg dropped straight after birth, and a further 10 by 2 hourly BF'ing (and not a lot of sleep )
I walk about 5km a day (in bursts - we live 10 mins walk from kindy). It keeps the jiggly bits at bay

If you live in or close to a town walk EVERYWHERE.
It worked wonders for me and as a plus DS loved sleeping in the pram ]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:03:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787516&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787516 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787507&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787507 Author: pinkie07

Hey ladies....

So I'm 39+2 atm and have my wedding in Dec 12 ...I purchased my size 10 dress prior to becoming preggers and have my fitting in Sept 12.....I'm currently a 16. Although I put on 19.2kgs I need any advise for safely getting rid of that 19.2 maybe plus some as i was a bit over weight to start off with

I know that breastfeeding helps and I shouldn't exert myself but if anyone has any ideas that would be awesome.

Cheers in advance]]> Wed, 14 Mar 2012 15:46:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41724&PID=5787507&title=preparing-for-after-the-birth#5787507
