What is everyone doing after giving birth to lose the baby belly?
Is there anything we can do to make our uterus shrink faster? How do you plan to lose the baby weight?

If I am not mistaken, breastfeeding will help speed the uterus shrinking.
As far as weight loss.....I plan to start working out (of course it will take time to build up my stamina again!) as soon as the DR gives me the OK!

Re: What is everyone doing after giving birth to lose the baby belly?
breastfeeding and taking lots of walks with baby in the beginning. Then, once the dr. okays it, probably get back into the gym and take some yoga and pilates classes.
I'm also hoping that being at home I will eat healthier instead of having to buy breakfast and lunch every day at work!

Same here. Hopefully we can get this breastfeeding to work, and couple that with Weight Watchers again and exercise once I get the OK.
I did also buy one of those "Postpartum Supports" that supposedly supports your abdomen after delivery - helping you return to your regular activities and size. I have had a few mommies tell me how wonderful they were. They did, however, wear them ALL THE time for about a month or 2 after delivering. We'll see!

I actually bought mine from Buy Buy Baby - it was only $25 and they were selling them in the section of the store that sells the breast pumps and nursing bras. I did see them at BRU as well - here is the link to the BRU one:

How quickly did you go back to WW after delivering? Do you have to wait a certain amount of time or anything?

i didn't wait long... i was young and thought stupidly that i'd pop out the baby and slip back into my size 2's.. it didn't happen and so the ppd hit.. maybe 4 weeks? dd was born in june by the time i went back to work in sept i was in a size 6. i wrapped my stomach (which is similiar to the postpartum support u showed.. only u use an ace bandage instead..) and it worked well..

Breastfeeding, Spinning, and Pilates have worked well for me with both pregnancies.

I plan on BFing too. Hopefully that will take care of the most 'bulk' and I will start my vigorious walks again when I get the OK from my doc.

I'm glad to hear that some of you ladies had good results with that stomach support/wrap. I was wondering about it but now I'm definitely going to get it.

After #1 I BF, ate nutritiously, walked then started running after 8 weeks. The weight was coming off until I got pregnant again!

BFing, WW, walking.
I think you're supposed to wait until 6 weeks to start WW, but that might only be if your BFing. Last time I waited until 5 months pp to start WW and I wish I had started much sooner. If you're BFing it's really easy too because you get an extra 10 pts a day. From WW I got down to 20 lbs below my pre-pregnancy weight. Unfortunately I gained it back before I got pg with #2.

Oh thanks for the WW info. I am totally going to call them now and get the info for after I deliver. I don't want to wait longer than I had to to get back on track!!!
