    It really depends on your body. You could be one of those people who's baby weight just falls off or you might not.

    The other thing to consider is once you have bub there will be less time/ opportunities to exercise.

    If you're planning to breast feed, that should help a bit.

    Not saying you cant do it, just giving you my thoughts

    we got married when DD was 9 mo old.

    It's realistic but then it also depends what your concerns are? Are you concerns loosing the baby weight (which honestly.....most people never do completely), or that it will be hectic and hard to pull off??

    It's doable for sure, but be prepared you might have to give a little in the baby weigh department Good luck to you that it all just falls off

    I think it is realistic. We got married 4 months after dd2 was born.
    I hope all goes well.

    I think my concerns are mainly Time, Emotionally & Physically being able, Money, and of course anything else I need to take into account with a 10 month old??

    Im not concerned soley with loosing the baby weight, Id like to try & get my 'fitness' back up a bit though. But I also want getting married to be a 'Good' thing for us both. If its going to be so hectic & we end up at each others throat & neither enjoying it, then why bother rushing it?

    We got married when bub was 10weeks old... We started planning then fell pregnant VERY unexpectantly, but didn't see the point of putting it off even though his parents were telling us to (maybe they just didn't want me in the family)

    Do what you feel is right
