Hello!
I’m the editor of Childcare is fun and I’m due to have my second baby at the end of September when (after my 6 weeks check) I’ll be hoping to get back into shape and shed my baby weight!
I have a little girl, Betsy, who will only be 12 months older than her baby brother when he is born as I was blessed to fall pregnant again when she was only 12 weeks old! So you see, I need more than anyone to shift those baby pounds from not just this pregnancy, but my first one too!
I’m 5ft tall (yes I’m a shorty) and my ideal weight is 8 stone 4 1bs, however, I’m going to set myself a safe target of loosing my baby blubber. I just want to feel fitter and healthier rather than aiming on getting into those little tight jeans in my wardrobe (I’m not giving them away though – I will fit into them one day!)
So after my 6 week post natal check, I’ll be pushing my Maclaren GTLX and start strolling back to shape! If you want to join in my ‘I-will-be-fit-again-not-flabby’ campaign, and want to have your diary featured on our ‘stroll back to shape’ page, then please get in touch- it’ll be great having lots of other mums to do it with!
Let me tell you about the stroll back to shape plan by pushy mothers.
Pushy mothers have joined forces with Maclaren to create the a six-week Stroll Back to Shape programme. It’s a series of six videos and facts sheets that will come out during July and August to help new mums exercise safely.
