For starters, I would try just doing some walking, just don't over do it.  Gradually increase the level of intensity depending on how your body feels.  I wouldn't go into doing crunches until after your 6 week visit, simply because since they have separated your abdominal walls, you don't want to risk the chances of getting a hernia.  Keep it light until the doctor gives you the okay to step up the exercises.

rent some romantic movies, get some strawberries, get some sparkling cider, the kind that doesn't have any alcohol content in it, and have an evening together just relaxing and enjoying each other's company. u can give each other massages, though be careful of ur belly, bc if a pregnant woman is massaged on her tummy, it can lead to premature labor.  Good luck, and congrats!!

I've had 2 c-sections, so I know what you mean. Pilates is the best for that. Not kidding it works miracles. I can feel like it's not doing much while your doing it, but the next day you'll be sore!!\nDon't be intimidated after a couple times of doing it gets easier to do it right. I've used the at home videos and classed at the gym. Just 2-3 times a week will do wonders. \nI wish you the best, I know where you are coming from

You can do anything you put your mind to!! Get focused and know that everything that you do now helps your baby's future later. There are so many successful people that had unplanned pregnancies. YOU GO GIRL!

Slowly increase your activity. Rest as much as you need to. Get enough sleep at night. \nTry walking. If you have too much pain or feel too tired, slow down. \nDo not do intense exercise, sit-ups, or heavy lifting for 6 weeks. \nYou may have some cramping but you should not have much pain. Some women may have cramping for as long as 6 weeks. You should be able to do most of your normal activities, except for those that require a lot of effort. \nYou may have some light vaginal bleeding. Wear sanitary pads if needed. \nYou should not have sexual intercourse until your body has fully recovered and bleeding has stopped (usually 2 to 3 weeks). It is important to use birth control. In the first weeks of intercourse, use condoms to prevent infection. \nYou should not use tampons for 2 to 3 weeks. \nAs far as fertility this is really variable- some women bounce back pretty quickly, others it can take a few months.

A c-section is major surgery. Wait at least 6-8 weeks before\ndoing any exercise routine. Your baby is ok to lift unless\nyou had complications. I recommend low impact aerobics,\nespecially water aerobics and light stretching at first.\nThen go with how your body reacts to any activity and gradually increase the stress levels.

The best way would be to exercise and eat healthy.  Denise Austin has a GREAT video called "Bounce back after baby".  She concentrates on the problem areas that new mommys tend to have.  It worked great for me and i'm sure it will for you too.  Just to let you know how well it worked for me--- I gained 39 pounds with my last baby.  After my doctor okayed me to be able to exercise again safely i started using this video and watching how i ate.  I lost a total of 69 pounds in about 8 months time.  Good luck and take care.  If i can do it, anyone can!!

Have you been exercising? If not, talk to your doctor before staring any exercise program. If so, then keep it up..you may have to modify some exercises as your pregnancy progresses

Clean.\nRe-arrange the crib.\nVideo Games.\nBooty Call.\nTry a new and dificult food to make.\n\nThe best advice I could give you is work out. It doesn't even have to be any thing great. If you find yourself vegging out watching TV on a rainy day, try doing excercises during the commercials. Exercises like crunches, leg raises, side leg lifts, squats, lunges, arm rotations, and push ups are good to do for this. \n\nOr you could go to the closest store pick up a 12 pack of Corona and sit down and answer easy questions for a couple hours.

Okay check into Bikram yoga.  It works miracles!  You will see results within one week.  If you can't handle the heat try Winsor Pilates.  You can do the videos at home and then take your babies jogging or on brisk walks.

It's possible but not recomended if you are nursing to lose the weight really fast. Let your body heal for at least 6 weeks or until you get the okay from your doctor. You could do more damage by exercising too early, especially with your stomach muscles that separate during pregnancy. You have to wait until they are ready. Be safe...

After my baby was born.\nThe pregnancy leave me in a better shape, and having a baby, and become older gave me a lot of security and consious of my body, and consius of the sensuality of it. \nI believe this helped!

Congrats!\nmake sure you stay away from junk food. take the baby out for a walk everyday (provided its not raining or freezing). if you run, you can get a stroller especially for that. also, you can use the baby as a weight.to work on your arms.
