I am feeling utterly fabulous having delivered a week ago after 8 months of exhaustion, nausea and vomiting
BF seems to be going really well, DS2 only lost 100g in his first week and is feeding plenty and doing all the right things.
I put on loads of weight this pregnancy and unlike previous babies I don't WANT to eat cake right now - I just fancy eating healthy stuff and rushing up and down hills because I CAN! (apologies for capitals, I'm overexcited by my ability to run up stairs after 8 months of practically needing to be winched up by a crane).
V depressed to read all over the web that you're not meant to up the exercise till 6-8 weeks and also that I should make sure I eat at least 1800 calories.
Does anyone know if this is really important? Surely as long as I follow cues from my body it will all be fine?

I have stupid amounts of energy a week after delivery, I don't REALLY have to rest to establish my milk supply do I?
