Hello all, new here!
I had my little boy 15 days ago and am currently only 1 lb up from my pre pregnancy weight. (God knows how, with my first I was over a stone up after!)

I was just wondering what is safe and not safe to start doing exercise wise? It's mainly my wobbly post baby tum I want to tone!

I still would like to lose 14lbs which is the baby weight from my previous baby. I am not BF so don't need to take that into account food wise so really is just exercise.

Thanks!
Chlo

    It all depends on how active you were before pregnancy and how hard delivery was. I usually start with walking, then walking carrying baby and increase time/length. Abs I usually wait awhile so that they have time to heal from stretching.

    However, a friend of mine was doing crossfit til the month before she gave birth and started back up 3 weeks PP

    I would say start slow and don't push yourself too hard!

    Thanks for the reply.
    I did lots of walking before and during pregnancy so will keep up with that for now :)
    Delivery was very straight forward and I feel fine so hopefully won't be too long before I can start up proper exercise again!
