If you know you want more than one baby, is it worth working out to lose the baby weight between babies?

Any first hand experience?
Any legit medical knowledge?

will working out the first time make it easier to lose weight the second time around? Is it worth it to work on your Kegals and bringing your abdominal wall back together or should you wait until you're done having kids?

assuming there is about 18 months-2 years between babies

I think every partner should be trying their best to look their best all the time for their SO. Not only that, it is a self respect thing to not be an out of shape, lazy slob. I would not be impressed if my wife decided she was just going to say heavy after a baby because she is just going to be pregnant again in the near future.

Wow. So your wife carrying and birthing your children is not enough? You want her fit and skinny inbetween pregnancies? You know skin and breasts sag and stretch too even after you've lost the weight right? Is she only good enough for you if she gets cosmetic surgery to remove a few inches of skin?

Imagine you are single in between pregnancies. How likely are you to find a new boyfriend based on how you look? Wow, so you don't care about how you look and make no attempt to remain beautiful and sexy for your SO. You are just another self-centered selfish woman who only thinks about what she wants in life!

Lmao are you joking? First off I would not have babies by two different people. Second, I know my husband would love me and be understanding that having to gain 30+ pounds during pregnancy and then having my muscles stretched to compacity and having my insides ripped apart and bleeding and then healing for months and finding the energy to take care of a newborn and go back to work would take a lot out of me. I think he would understand if I never looked the way I did before having babies. I won't be obese, Tobit you can't always bounce back to a 20 year old body when you've had multiple pregnancies and are in your 30's.

I bet you're the type of guy who would want to have sex with other women or beg for blowjobs every day while his wife was pregnant and/or recovering after giving birth. Scumbag.

I understand the weight gain process. I understand the pain and issues encountered during a pregnancy. I just don't understand why you want to remain overweight just for the "convenience" sakes because you plan another pregnancy. That just seems lazy and sloppy to me. You take your baby for walks to the park, you do some exercising while you are on mat-leave. It isn't that hard. It won't take 2 years to trim down! Your husband will love you no matter what. But what he isn't saying because he doesn't have the balls, is that he does want that sexy body back to some degree! No guy wants to see his wife gain a bunch of weight and keep it on only because you are too lazy to work some or most of it off! At least I am being honest, I hope you can appreciate that, because your own husband is lying to you!!!

Yes, because it's easier to lose a little weight multiple times than to lose a lot of weight once. Plus exercise helps with your energy levels, which you're going to need with a plethora of screaming brats.

But if you don't gain more than 30 pounds with a pregnant and eat healthy between pregnancies, would it be worth it to tighten up your abs again if they will just be stretched apart again?

There are exercises to fit your abs but I'm wondering if doing them between pregnancies will make it easier to fix them after a second pregnancy or if I just shouldn't waste the energy and save it for when I know I'm done

[9mfeo]

Yes, because it will make your pregnancy and delivery easier. More abs= more support for your uterus during pregnancy and more strength behind your contractions.

Ah, thank you 😊

Yes I think it is, I have a 1 year old right now and I worked my butt off but I know I want more babies
