You can begin exercising your pelvic floor and lower tummy muscles as soon as you feel ready. Getting out and about is good for your physical and mental health, so try to take your baby out for regular walks in his pram or pushchair as soon as you feel up to it.
Some obstetricians will tell you to wait until your six-week postnatal check before trying other forms of Exercise After Pregnancy, although most feel that it's OK to gradually go back to your pre-pregnancy routine based on your personal physical capability. It all depends on whether or not you are a regular exerciser.
Generally, if you exercised right up until the end of pregnancy, you can probably safely perform your Pregnancy Workout - or at least light exercise and stretching - from the start.
Being careful with your Diet During Pregnancy is a good idea for you and your baby - weight gain is natural during pregnancy however gaining weight slowly and steadily is far healthier than gaining weight quickly. If you are breastfeeding this can help with post pregnancy weight loss - breast feeding uses 200 - 500 calories per day.
Once you have been given the OK to diet after your six-week postnatal check and as soon as you feel up to starting some form of physical exercise again then why not join our Mother and Baby Fitness Class? It's a great way to get out the house and meet other mums whilest getting in shape.
