    How long after giving birth should a woman wait before going back to her regular pre-pregnancy workout/fitness routine? Also, does anyone know how long it would take for a woman to get back into shape after having a baby?

    It took me a year!! and now I am pg again!!!! And sorry, but your shape after a baby are NEVER the same as before I weighed less than before my first pg, but my hips were much larger and I LOOKED more flabby ... and my breasts were much smaller.

    Like Jordie said, I think it depends on the type of birth you had, when you can return to your normal routine. I think the standard is about six weeks and then only if you are up to it and after your six-week-visit your dr says it's ok. Then just watch yourself. If you will be breastfeeding, jumping and running might be a bit uncomfy, so doing other sport (walking, yoga) might not get the weight down as fast, kwim?? And I would advise to start slowly. Did you workout throughout your pregnancy??
