Question

WELL iiM 0NLY 13 AND DUE FOR A BABY B0Y iN APRiL, AFTER DELiVERiNG HIM, IS THERE AND WAYS TO WORK OFF THE BABY WEiGHT FAST?? OR HOW LONG WILL iiT TAKE.???

Answer 1

As young as you are, it shouldn't take long, just eat healthy and exercise! Talk to your doctor though so you know your limitations...don't push too hard to lose weight too quick, or it will be bad on your own health. Best of luck!

Answer 2

Holy cow! I won't judge you, but I wonder anyway where are your parents. What do they think about this situation? You should be at the sixth month now, so I suppose they already know. What about the baby's father?
If you can't rely on them (at least your parents should be supportive towards you!), I think that the loss of weight should be your last problem. Don't worry about that, anyway, you'll lose weight quite fast. But now you can't do anything for your weight. Take advantage of these months you still have before the labour to decide what it will be next. Maybe you should put the baby in adoption, because (sorry to have to tell you) you sound very immature. A baby isn't like a doll, you know...you're expected to make many sacrifices. Do you think you're ready to make them? Think about it, talk with your parents or whoever you rely on, and than take your decision. But if you'll decide to keep the baby with you, be ready, beacuse it won't be easy. It is NEVER easy, to tell you the truth, but, considering your very young age, I'm afraid it will be harder.

Answer 3

Did you see the question below about the 13 yr old that wets the bed? That right there should tell you how you are too young. But I guess it's too late. The least of your worries should be the baby weight. It should be how you are going to raise and support a baby. You can't even drive yet...what the hell were you thinking? You need to sit down and take a long hard look at where your life is heading and where you want to steer it.

Answer 4

ur not very smart for having a baby at 13! i'm 14 and i've kissed a guy once! but u, at the age of 13, get knocked up! imagine how ur going to be when ur older... u are only a teen... basically a child... it was ur fault u got pregnant in the first place and u want to lose the weight! this proves ur not ready for a baby. try taking care of a puppy. it's hard! and a baby is harder. u need to be a lot more responsible.

Answer 5

Your about to have a BABY at an EXTREMELY way too young of the age of 13, and all you care about is baby weight? Wow I feel so bad for the kid. Baby fat should be the LAST thing on your mind, while you should be considering whether to get abortion, or put it up for adoption, or just keep it. No offense, but you really have SERIOUS issues/problems.

Answer 6

I won't comment on what may have gotten you this way. But the least of your worries should be your weight. Obviously you need to stay healthy to take care of your baby, which isn't going to be easy, seeing your still one yourself.
Eat healthy and exercise regularly. It will come off eventually. You have a long road ahead of you, I hope you have a good support system, because your gonna need it. Good Luck to you.

Answer 7

Breastfeeding will help you lose weight quickly. You burn a lot of extra calories making milk.

Talk to a Lactation Consultant at the hospital where you'll give birth or to a La Leche League Leader. A LLL Leader will help you for free and might visit you at home once the baby is here if you have problems.

(*sniff* why are 13 year olds worrying about their weight and having babies?)

Answer 8

Hello there dear. I want to tell you that I am sorry for the cruel and uncaring answers you have gotten. I am sure that the people here on Yahoo! are not indicative of the attitudes you will encounter in your life. Most people will show concern and want to help.
I am afraid however that the advice to put your baby up for adoption is a very good one. Unless your mother feels very strongly about keeping this baby in the family and is really ready to take on the responsibility of a new baby you cannot possibly do this. At 13 you are still a baby in many ways and definitely a child. My youngest daughter is your age and I can not trust her to remember to take care of her cat, much less a baby. No baby should be at the tender mercies of a 13 year old, and I do not mean to be unkind by that statement. It is just that you are too young to take this on. If you put your son up for adoption you will be making dreams come true for some very deserving parents who will give him all the things and all the love that he could ever need.
Adoption would be the loving, brave thing to do.
IF you do decide to keep the baby you can and should try to breastfeed him. Even at your age your body will produce milk. Even if you do not intend to breastfeed your baby please let him nurse immediately after he is born so that he can receive the benefits of your colosturm. Colosturm comes in before your milk does and it is clear, sweet and powerful. It is the perfect first food for your baby. It is all he will need as a newborn until your milk comes in. In addition to that it contains powerful antibodies that will protect your baby from staphylococcus infections, polio virus, coxsackie B virus, infant diarrhea, and Escherichia coli infection...the very germs that infants are most susceptible to.
It is almost impossible to list all the positive benefits of breastfeeding.
Breast feeding gives your baby an immunity to almost all common childhood diseases until you stop breastfeeding entirely.
Breastfeeding is the easy, economical way to feed your baby, there are no bottles to carry around or sterilize and breastmilk is always the perfect temperature. It will also allow you to get the rest you need as breastfeeding mothers do not have to get up at night (or any other time) to fix a bottle for a crying, hungry baby.
If you do end up keeping your baby I hope that you would at least let him nurse for a few weeks so that he could receive the important health benefits. As he will probably be a low birth weight baby he will already have some strikes against him. If you breastfeed him, even a little, it will help even up the odds a bit and give him a much better chance to be healthy. As I said, even if you just let him nurse for the first few days he will receive tremendous health benefits.
I would say that even if you are going to place him for adoption you should still let him nurse while you are in the hospital, next to life itself it is the greatest gift you could ever give him.
I am sorry for the fact that you are pregnant at 13. But, we do not know what your circumstances are or why your mother would let such a thing happen to you. The point is that you are courageous enough to give life to this little baby when you could easily have killed it. You are a brave child. I am sorry that life has given you this burden so early, I am sorry that you have been denied the childhood that you should have had. Sorry as I am though we have to deal with the facts and the fact is that you are going to have a baby. All I can do is tell you to take good care of yourself. Please see the doctor regularly and do everything that she tells you to do. Be sure to eat right and get plenty of rest. I am sure you know that your pregnancy is a high risk one and must be managed carefully. Do NOT smoke and do not be in the same room with people that do. Do not take any medication or drugs of any kind, not even cold medication or anything like that. Eat healthy food and try to gain a healthy amount of weight. As young as you are the weight will come off easily and breastfeeding is a way to lose weight really quickly as nursing your baby will burn off up to 1000 calories a day.
I hope and pray that your mother, or another female relative is closely involved in your life. You are going to need a great deal of help, and lots of love and understanding. Whether you keep the baby or not.
Please feel free to write to me [e-mail] I will write back.
Take care of yourself honey.

Answer 9

R u serious? How do you plan to support this child? You're not even old enough to work yet. You can't support a baby with babysitting wages. Did someone put you up to this? It doesn't seem right..as far as weight loss??? you're 13!!!! you're not even done developing yet....losing weight should be the least of your worries ...you are putting your body through changes it's simply not ready for.

Answer 10

There is no way to tell how long it will take to loose the baby weight. But you are young and will bounce back quickly. Eating right and LIGHT exercise will be beneficial. Talk to your OB and he/she can tailor make a program. Don't overdo it. Good nutrition before the baby is born is important to, the healthier you are now the easier it will be to shed the baby weight. Breast feeding also helps burn post baby calories. I hope this helped. Good luck sweetheart.
