Something To Do After Pregnancy =)

After the baby's born, these three will be my priorities:

a.) Caring for and breastfeeding my baby
b.) Finding ways to cope for the expenses incurred during childbirth
c.) Getting back in shape! :)

According to Baby Center, this is how I could get back in shape:

Wait six weeks after your baby is born before you start to think about losing weight

To give your body some time to recover from labor and birth, wait six weeks or so before you think about slimming. Do bear in mind that your body may change shape after pregnancy, and you may find it difficult to return to your exact pre-pregnancy weight.

Don't go on a very restrictive diet, just cut back

If you're not breastfeeding, you can start to eat a little less than you'd need to maintain your normal weight. But don't go on a strict diet -- women need a minimum of around 1,200 calories a day to stay healthy.

To get started, choose low-fat, high-fiber foods, plan healthy snacks such as fresh fruit to stave off hunger instead of grabbing a biscuit on the run, and avoid grazing from the fridge. Also, do watch what you drink, as a surprising number of calories can be hidden in juice and other drinks. Enjoy eating a nutritious, varied diet, which will help to speed your recovery from labor and birth, and help you keep up with the demands of being a new parent. For the average woman, this means eating about 1,900 to 2,100 calories daily.

While many women who breastfeed lose weight because of the energy it takes to produce milk, the non-breastfeeding mom will need to work harder to get the same results. "The 10 pounds or so came off really quickly after the birth," says mom Lucy. "And I lost about another half in a coupe of weeks. But the last couple of pounds were worked off at the gym and brisk walks pushing baby Amelia in the stroller."

Your body needs up to a year to restock nutrient stores

If you ate a good, nutritious diet before and during your pregnancy, you may only need a few months to restock all the nutrients your baby needed to grow and develop.

But, if you did not eat well before and during pregnancy -- for whatever reason, including morning sickness, food aversions, or other pregnancy-related difficulties -- it can take a lot longer, around a year or more. It may take that long even if you were a model eater. Remember, you've just accomplished a strenuous, nutritionally draining feat. Give your body the time it needs to get back in shape.
