i'm wondering the same thing but have been watching some friends in the last year to get an idea as well!! i have one friend who is the most organised person i know (she got sick of her frozen meals she cooked during PG before they ran out ) and even she said in the first few weeks she called her mum to say 'i just don't think i can do this'. but 6 months on she looks like a complete natural & i reckon she was there easily by 10-12 weeks.

i'm trying to mentally prepare myself that it will be a while - i took 6 weeks with DS to feel close to 'normal' again & i'm expecting longer this time!!
