I reallllly want to start to lose weight now - LO is 5 weeks on sat......OH wants me to wait until 6 week check up before doing anything - even weight watchers etc......for those that have started, did you wait until 6 week check or before? thanks (p.s not going to exercise until after 6 weeks)

I started eating healthy around 3 weeks but i wasnt BF'ing. I think as long as you feel well enough and dont go mad you will be ok to start WW..

I think it's up to you and how you feel. They don't even do anything at the 6 week check anyway. With my first son I started swimming again when he was 4 weeks old. This time round I don't have the time for swimming but have been watching what I eat and walking 2 hours every day since Emerson was 2 weeks old. Just do what you feel you can manage.

I had to go to the gp for something at 5 weeks so he did our 6 weeks check up then, and like girl1980 said he didn't actually do anything to check me over. I asked if I could start exercising and he said as long as I feel I can and I start off slow.
I'd say you are good to go now as long as you take it slow.

I've been power walking with the double buggy for 3 weeks now and Oscar is only5 weeks too. I'm not dieting though as he's a hungry baby and I'm bf.

I'm planning on going to buggy exercise sessions at my local sports centre once we've had 6 week check, just said that time to sort childcare for Isaac rather than waiting for go ahead. Excercise is really only an issue if you've had a c-section.

just to follow on from what nimmy has said... i had a section on doc has told me to wait til 12weeks to start excercising i mentioned goin swimming and she just said i kno wen my body is really ready but just take things slowly! but o think most ppl i kno hav started excerising at between 5 to 6 weeks.
i cant stop eating peanut m&m's tho,aaaargh will have to stop tht now wont i!!lol
doc just checked my scar and then checked hollie over but they dont really do anything else. so im sure ur ok to start slowly. sorry rambled on..heehh

Not even thinking of dieting until after Christmas.... seems such a waste to put in all the effort to be faced with Christmas!! So, am planning on it after Christmas - I have 1.5stones to loose.
