What is a reasonable time to get to your pre baby weight?

[Anonymous]

I'm kinda the first of my friends to have a baby so I don't really know what to compare it to. I looked up some celebreties and they all do it in weeks and my husband says that's not realistic.

It's been three months for me. I work out three times a day and eat a low carb diet but I'm still not there.

It takes time. The body is still readjusting hormones and getting used to a new role. Depending on how much it was I would say 6 months to a year. No need to rush it. And don't pay attention to celebs. They have personal trainers, and personal chefs, and nannies. I know women can be self concious about this ( my bff was, but sshe also gained like 60 lbs) and its good to find someone that is very supportive. I ALWAYS complemented her weight loss every time I saw her. Even if it was just a half a pound in a week it kept her motivated and feeling good. Well that and her husband still couldn't keep his hands off her. Enjoy the new one and remember they grow up too fast to worry about a few pounds here and there.

everyone is different, My mom was 34 and 105 pounds before birth and 150 during the pregnancy. Right after delivering me she lost 17 pounds and in a few days was back to 105 pounds. Some people bounce right back and others take work. I would say 3-12 months is a reasonable time. it does depend on how much weight you put on and your ability to lose after pregnancy

6-9 months

If you're still breast feeding you will have extra weight from breasts till you stop. That said breastfeedig is better then any workout for losing the weight.

You won't gain weight very fast working out 3 times a day eating a low carb diet. Talk to a doctor about this. I don't actually know very many pregnant women that do work out a ton or worry about certain foods. It took my mom 4-5 months to noticeably show, because she wasn't able to keep food down. She ended up eating things like lemons and drinking apple juice... my poor mom almost starved with me in her belly now that I really think about it -.-
