Your body takes 18 months to fully recover from pregnancy and childbirth. Allow yourself some time. Try eating a healthy diet, similar to what you would feed your baby - vegetables without sauces, lean protein and oatmeal or rice cereal. Eat 5-6 small meals a day and try to get in enough rest. When the baby is napping - do push-ups, lunges, squats, crunches. Check your local library - the one here has exercise videos. If you have cable - look for some exercise programs in the morning. Ease yourself into a daily exercise routine and most of all, enjoy having your baby - they are only little once! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
