How long did it take to get the baby weight off and get your body back? It's nearly 6 months since having my son. I had a c-section so was very limited especially with lifting the first few weeks. But after I was healed I still found it hard what with being tired and managing with a baby and adjusting to life as a new mum. I also had gestational diabetes with my son so had to watch what I was eating and drinking. It has gone but I think I kinda craved everything I could not eat like cake and biscuits. I have baby weight but know I have put on some weight but I find it hard to get motivated and it's kinda getting me down. Gym is not really an option as I feel like I would waste money as I have no one to watch my son if I wanted to go. But last time I went to the gym I damaged my knee so have to be careful now.
