Bounce Back after baby…
June 17, 2009 |

Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts and Cate Blanchett have unveiled post-baby bodies in the past that have surprised women worldwide.
Squeezing back into your favourite little black dress so soon after childbirth may not be a realistic option for new mums who don’t have the luxury and expertise of a full-time dietician, nanny and personal trainer, on hand, 24/7. Especially, if you are a more mature new mum, being part of the strong, modern trend of having kids later in life.
New mums, at any age, are often overwhelmed with their changed body shape and extra baby weight. According to fitness expert Angela Houseman, the average woman should not use celebrities as role models. “It’s inevitable that women will envy superstars who go from being 9 months pregnant to a size 6 overnight,” said Ms Houseman.

A mother knows these things
Feeling like you are a good mum is fundamentally important to any mother.
Motherhood therefore is fraught with expectations, not only self expectations but those of others. As women are having children much later there is often the stressful productive challenge of trying to conceive and once your bundle of joy is in your arms, you step into a role that other women have been doing since the beginning of time. In my limited experience, this role carries with it heavy baggage for a new mum.
