I am a first-timer and, along with everything else I am worrying about, I am also panicking about getting my body back after pregnancy (specifically my stomach).
Does anyone have any tips on what I can be doing right NOW to help this? I am currently 26 weeks and feel like I am just vegetating. I injured my back in early pregnancy which is making it difficult to walk without pain. My physiotherapist also recommended I don't swim breaststroke. I have a pool and would be swimming daily if it wasn't for this. What else can I do in the water? Shamefully I don't know any other strokes.
Other than that I have a pregnancy yoga DVD and just ordered Davina's prenatal workout but I'm not sure if these are actually any good or just designed to make me 'feel' better and like I am doing something.
I'd really appreciate any advice from anyone! Thanks in advance :)
