You Can Get Your Pre-Baby Body Back!

You Can Get Your Pre-Baby Body Back!
© chascow
Every new mom's dilemma is getting back to her pre-baby body.

For moms anxious to get their pre-baby body back, Chicago Personal Trainer and Lifestyle Coach Linda Gisburne offers the following exercises that new moms can do anytime, anywhere with minimum equipments:

1. First Things First

Before entering in to any post-natal work, get your doctor's permission and clearance for physical activity first! Remember your body is not exactly the same as it once was. You can not just do everything you are used to. However you can do a lot more than you think! And you will! Time to get your abs back and give your body the post-natal look, and strength you desire.

2. Food

You are no longer eating for 2!! Watch your portions by eating mindfully not mindlessly. You are now a mommy with somebody counting on you being healthy. This is especially true if you are breast feeding. Eat lots of veggies, fruit, lean protein, whole grains, and healthy fat to keep your body fueled for your day and taking care of your new bundle of joy! 80% of your results rely on you making healthy and smart food choices. Also, drink plenty of water to support your system.

3. Cardio

So many times I hear that now that baby's here you have no time. Not true! You can always sneak a faster walk in while taking baby along in the stroller. For variety, go an extra few minutes each way of your walk instead of speeding it up. While the baby is napping, pop in a workout DVD. Most of all ask your man for support! Have him watch the baby while you take a "mommy time out" and go for a solo run or walk or bike ride!

4. Do Exercises

There are several exercises that new moms can do to get back into their pre-baby bodies: hand to knee on hands and knees, hip bridge with single leg extension, baby swing squat, baby curl and overhead, elevated push-up, side plank hold with side leg raise and stationary catipillar.

FDA Panel Backs Approval Of After-Sex Pill Ella

FDA Panel Backs Approval Of After-Sex Pill Ella
© melloveschallah
The after-sex pill called Ella (ulipristal acetate) works to as late as 5 days after sex, thus preventing pregnancy.

The FDA panel who has reviewed the possibility of Ella getting FDA approval, has recommended that Ella be approved by the FDA. Although the FDA usually follows the advice of its advisory panel, that's not always the case.

Although it remains a mystery how it actually works, Ella blocks the effects of progesterone (a female hormone that spurs ovulation). On the other hand, it is a chemical relative to RU-486 (the abortion pill)

Therefore there is a fierce debate whether Ella should be considered an abortion drug and whether it drug works by delaying ovulation (as claimed by its manufacturer) or by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting itself in the uterus (as claimed by anti-abortion advocates).

Manufactured by HRA Pharma, Ella (pdf file) is already approved in the European market. If it gets US FDA approval, it will only be available by prescription.

Don't Wear Stilettos When Pregnant

Don't Wear Stilettos When Pregnant
© Northampton Museum
A survey by the Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists revealed that many pregnant women regularly wore ballet pumps, flip flops, high heels and Ugg boots.

However, experts said that such foot wears are not appropriate for pregnant women as they offer very little support. The Society of Chiropodists and Podiatrists is urging women to wear supportive, wide fitting shoes to minimise discomfort and avoid long-term damage.

According to podiatrist Lorraine Jones:

"Weight gain and hormonal changes in pregnancy have a huge impact on the body. Muscles and ligaments soften and stretch because of an increase in the ovarian hormone relaxin, which makes your feet more prone to ankle and ligament strains on a daily basis.

High heels alter your posture, shorten your calf muscles and place increased pressure on your back and knees. In pregnancy this places extra pressure on your joints when they are already under strain - which can result in a host of foot, leg and back problems and could increase the likelihood of falls."

So beware women...better ditch those stilettos when pregnant!
