I used my wii fit plus, and did/do a lot of walking.

Walking and swimming are great low-impact excersises for pregnancy and post-pregnancy. I have also seen some pregnancy yoga classes and "baby and me" yoga classes, but haven't done those myself. I think the most important thing is that you aren't trying to do "too much" and strain yourself or cause harm to your baby.

 

Personally, I walked alot (still do) and did mild stretching excersises during and after my pregnancy. I gained almost 70 pounds with my daughter (yipes!! hehe) and am almost back to my pre-preggo weight now, about 5 or 10 pounds left to go, and Littlepants is 18 months old. I might add that I haven't really "tried" to lose the weight either, just eating well and doing normal walking.

Exactly what they said...walking and swimming. Are you breast feeding? That helps loose weight.

It's not hard to lose the weight after you give birth... especially if you breastfeed you burn a crap load of calories daily just by feeding your baby... other than that, just make sure you stay relatively active. I have a 6 month old and i am already 30 lbs less than I was before i got pregnant... so, just so you can see... it's not hard! It's actually really easy to lose it all

I've lost practically all my extra pounds in the first weeks. I am breastfeeding and I normally loose weight pretty easily. I got back into shape mostly because I carry my daughter in a carrier (a long cloth that you have to tie around you, not sure of the English word for it). She weighs almost 7 kgs now so that's good exercise for mommy!

 

In addition I started running again (I trained for 1/2 marathon before getting pregnant) when she was 2 months old, and I started capoeira again today I think the most important thing is to avoid unnecessary gaining during pregnancy, and to simply have a lot of exercise afterwards. DO take into account that you may be tired much sooner because of broken nights. I can't train intensively really. Not like I used to, I still get up at least once a night...

 

Here's a pic of how I carry her:
