I am pregnant and over-weight...?!

I am pregnant and over-weight...?

and am wanting to lose weight sensibly after the birth but am worried as to whether I'm going to be left with lots of excess skin as I've probably got about 6-7 stone to lose. I am 20.

Sensible answers/tips/suggestions only thanks. xx

Can I also just point out, I am not using being pregnant as an excuse to stuff my face, I am eating more sensibly now than I ever have, but am aware its quite dangerous to diet etc during pregnancy.

lots of greens - they'll help the baby too.

After the birth dont try and lose the weight straight away - the milk in your breasts will draw a lot of fat for the colostrum (first milk - the fattier milk that the baby gets at first) and breast milk. you should wait for AT LEAST 6 months after the birth before you start trying to lose weight. Tummy crunches and toning should help so that there shouldnt be a lot of excess skin.

good luck and congratulations!!
