Exercising after baby.

Exercising after baby.
So you did it! You went through labor and gave birth to
your pride and joy. Now you are left with the aftermath.
Most women, especially those who have had their first baby,
are not fully prepared for what to expect after delivery.
Some are under the impression that they will be back into
their pre pregnancy clothes the day they leave the
hospital. However most of us second time moms know what
to expect. We know that our bodies might never be the same
and need a little bit of extra work after delivery to go
back to normal. Especially if you have gained more than
the recommended weight.

The first thing to keep in mind, is no crazy exercise for
at least six weeks for a normal delivery, eight if you had
a c-section. Your doctor will give you a list of
exercises that you can do during the post partum period.
Some of them include walking. You will find that slow
walking will get your body ready for a higher intensity
workout. Yoga might be another exercise your doctor
gives you the ok for. It gets your blood flowing and it
helps reduce stress, which trust me you might experience a
lot of after you bring your baby home. Some of the poses
will have to be avoided but you will be able to do the
basic moves. You might even be able to find a postnatal
yoga class at a gym. As long as you had a normal birth,
your doctor should give you the ok to do pelvic tilts.
C-section moms might have to wait a little longer before
they do any sort of abdominal exercises.

Other things to keep in mind, is to listen to your body.
Do not push yourself or your body during your postpartum
period. You are not going to be able to go right back to
the exercise routine you might have done before you got
pregnant right away. Once you are ready though, there are
so many benefits to exercising to lose your baby weight.
You are going to have a whole slew of new physical demands
such as carrying around a baby who is only going to gain
weight and get bigger and also loading car seats into cars
and lifting strollers in and out of trunks. Exercise will
help strengthen you for those new demands.

Exercising or at least keeping up with your walking in your
post partum period will give you extra energy which you are
going to need and has been shown to help decrease symptoms
of post partum depression or the baby blues. Your
endorphins kick in and you will get what some people call a
natural high.

Remember to stick to a routine when you are working out.
You want to try and get in at least thirty minutes three
days a week. If the weather is warm, you can take your
baby out for a walk. Not only is this good exercise but
you might just meet another new mom along the way.
