First time mum with a 6 week old. Are any April mums managing to exercise yet? I don’t want to sound vain but I have lost a lot of weight since birth, but still have a pouch and lots of fat around my middle. I don’t like it, I know we need to retain fat for breastfeeding, but I can’t help but feel I’m not ready to be in a swimsuit for summer.
I physically feel I’ve recovered enough to start exercising at home, but I don’t know when as my baby is on me almost all day and all night, she only really contact naps.
Any tips? 🫢

I'm going back to the gym next week, my new gym lets you bring kids with you! X

Same story, I have started walking, need to find time for workouts when we have some routine for little one

We walk daily but going back to the gym next week x

I am the same lost so much weight since having lO lost a lot when pregnant last time I was this size was 2019 🤣🤣 I got the all clear from physio this week and have done a home work out for 25 mins as lil one was asleep. Aiming for 3 a week and going to try up my steps from 5-7000 until I get back to 10000, got advised to try doing this over next few weeks not all at once x

Started working out from home this week. It was a very interrupted workout with a toddler and baby so not sure how effective it was but definitely a start.

I’ve been walking the dog with the pram last couple of weeks (I’m 5 weeks post). Baby also loves contact naps so have been taking him in the wrap with pram as backup 🙏🏼
