Q. How do you lose the weight gain of pregnancy? During my last pregnancy I have gained 50 pounds, and now I am having difficulty losing the extra weight. Do you have tips on how to lose pregnancy weight?

A. some tips from my becoming-a-mom-already friends are :
- you should babysit your baby yourself (because believe it or not, it is like a good exercise for you and also it is healthy physically and mentally since you're developing close bonding to your babyborn)
- do breastfeed, for some reasons it helps you to get back to normal weight
- start doing some light exercises (agree with natty on pilates)

but never forget to have a healthy diet, especially if you're a mom who is breastfeeding your baby.
Okay, stay healthy always, and good lucK!
