I put on 15kg my last pregnancy and most of that was put on in the first trimester because of MS And then in the last trimester a lot of my gain was also fluid retention. 7 weeks after birth I am now 13kg off my pre preg weight I read somewhere that 12 - 18kg is the normal range.
If you can keep active and avoid comfort eating (definitely harder for me during the pandemic) you can definitely lose the weight you accumulated during pregnancy.
The recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate exercise (or 75 minutes of more intense exercise) definitely helps. That's a couple of walks or online cardio / Zumba / HIIT classes a week.
Yoga helped me lose my weight a lot faster.
Yoga burns calories when done the right way.
If you are serious about losing weight and getting fit, you might want to implement a 60-minute power yoga and/or vinyasa flow practice at least five to six days per week.
This yoga weight loss program was easy to follow and worked for me during my pregnancy when I started gaining too much weight.
Each class is easy to follow, but is varied and enjoyable. Dynamic Sequencing means you'll always be challenged regardless of your current level.
If you want to follow my example, think about coupling your practice with a whole foods diet for optimal results.
Good luck babes!

)... too many people told me my bump was too small for 20 and 21 weeks which eventually had me wondering if it really was, but baby is measuring just right, and the way I've been eating recently, they'll be telling me just the opposite soon!! Unless asked for their opinions, they really should keep them to themselves. It's a bit rude to comment on a woman's size, innit.
