So, by now, you’re probably aware that I wrote an entire book on the subject of post-baby weight since I wanted to share EVERYTHING with you.
It took some time to lose the weight and get back in shape, but there were a handful of things I really focused on the months following my baby’s delivery. The following tips worked for me to get me from the before and after you see below. Want to know what they are?
1. Listen to your doctor. Even if the doctor is confirming things you may already know, it’s important to have the go-ahead (or not!). For instance, although I had a super easy pregnancy, my labor and delivery was complicated and I had no choice but to have a C-section. My doctor was pleased that I was very fit through out my pregnancy but still cautioned me to wait the full 6 weeks before attempting anything too strenuous. That wasn’t easy advice to stomach, but 6 weeks is a blip in time compared to the many of years of training.
My abs weren’t ready for a reveal anytime soon post baby. Give it time!
