Update Baby #2 (Anonymous)

Previous entries here and here.

Since my last entry I have had another baby! My little girl was born 4 days early so that was exciting for us and she weighed 7 lbs 4 oz. With my first pregnancy I gained 55 pounds and found it took alot of hard work to get my body back. This time I worked out my entire pregnancy and ate super healthy. I gained 21 pounds the second time around. My body really snapped back super quick this time so that was nice! It was a bit of an adjustment at first going from one child to two children, but things are going super well now! My son loves being a big brother and my little girl is getting so chubby already. Below is a picture of my belly at 39 weeks pregnant and another picture at 12 days post partum. I am now 7 weeks post partum and pretty much look and weigh the same as I did 12 days after giving birth.

Thanks to all the other moms for sharing your stories! And thank you Bonnie for creating this website. I have been coming to it for years now and I think it’s absolutely amazing and inspiring to all women, :)

    Congratulations on your new baby! You look amazing, great job keeping your body so healthy. I am working out every day now…not only to finally love my body, but to recover faster when I get pregnant with baby # 3 :)

    You look awesome! And congratulations on your two babies. It is a bit to adjust to two, mine are 2 years apart (2 and 4) and they are so fun now that they can play together! Good for you mama!

    Thanks!!

    During my pregnancy I did my regular routine about 4 days a week for the first 3 months which was 2 weight classes a week plus at least 2-3 days of running. After 3 months I continued my cardio at least 3 times a week by using the elliptical or speedwalking for a hour in the morning while pushing the toddler in the stroller. I also did light weights (8-10 pounds) until I will 36 weeks pregnant. I also did modified pushups for as long as I could. (Probably until about 34 weeks)

    Gaining 35 pounds EXTRA the first time didn’t make my baby any bigger. My first child was a boy and weighed 7 lbs 12 oz when he was born. My second child is a girl and she weighed 7 lbs 4 oz. She was a tiny bit smaller but still super healthy and I was healthier too.
