Body back?

Question

How hard or easy is it to get your body back at r having a baby? I was working out and eating low carb and clean before I got pregnant and that went out the door due to morning sickness. I have no idea what to expect, but currently I feel super fat instead of pregnant

Answer

My son is 3 and i never got my body back... even if you would “snap back” there is a high chance your hips are wider because thats a natural process ... your boobs will probably be changed forever (especially when breastfeeding) and you might have strech marks...
And that’s all fine cause your body has carried the biggest love of your life.

Answer

I think that’s so hard to answer I’ve always been for and healthy and worked out and I snapped back straight away but I did also breastfeed and that does help massively plus the newborn diet is a thing 😂😂😩

Answer

I couldn't seem to lose all the weight until I stopped breastfeeding when my 1st was 18 months. I also started working out super consistently and ended up getting into the best shape of my life when he turned 2. I went from 120lbs pre baby to 170lbs right before I had him back down to around or below 120lbs again. Apparently I'm a gainer lol I did the same exact thing with my 2nd baby. I'm still breastfeeding him at 14 months and hoping to get back but having a little more grace with myself this time around.

Answer

I gained 32 lbs my last pregnancy and it took me 6 months of exercising daily and eating super healthy to get back to prepregnancy weight. The last 10 lbs were stubborn!

Answer

my mom got her body back right away like two weeks after but she used those belly bands that shape your body & my friend currently at 2 months she also used the belly band & ive seen some ppl use those belly bands the same day they deliver, i bought one to try myself after delivery

Answer

Honestly I got my body back really quickly. Breastfeeding helps, and this was my first, but by the time I left the hospital I just looked bloated or a little pudgy. When I went into my OB for the 2 week follow up, I went to schedule my 6 week appointment and the lady genuinely didn’t believe I’d just had a baby. I’m now 11 weeks postpartum and I still feel a little pudgy, but mainly I just am not as toned as I was prepregnancy. I’ve lost all the weight except 3 pounds, and once I start working out again I’m sure I’ll be toned again and drop the remaining pounds quickly. 
Keep in mind everyone’s body responds differently to pregnancy and recovery - my mom told me multiple times (as did my doctor), your body spends over 9 months changing and creating a human, you should expect at least the same amount of time for it to fully recover. When I was pregnant, the last two months my doctor was saying I’d gained too much weight (~40 pounds) and acted as if it was my fault. I did stop working out during my pregnancy due to morning sickness and pure exhaustion, but otherwise I was still healthy. But your body will gain as much as it needs and recover in its own time. My advice is to focus on how you feel!

Answer

Usually breastfeesing helps. Doesn't help all people but still a lot. You still have to mind what you are eating etc.
I eat as before, I go for a two hour walk with a stroller most of the days. Have not done any excsersise purpousefully. Gained back pre-pregnancy weight in about three or four months.

Answer

I didn’t lose the last of the baby weight until I stopped breastfeeding at 18 months PP and changed my eating habits.
