Fitizens who are experienced husbands/fathers, I beseech you: Wife and I are planning on a kid this year. HOW DO I MAXIMIZE HER RECOVERY FROM PREGNANCY?That is literally the only thing that scares me about having a child, is my wife's body changing. Ribcage expansion, pelvic floor obliteration, waistline extermination, all terrifying.We have a solid homegym setup, so access to equipment is a non-issue, but I don't expect any chosen people doctor to tell her something helpful like "Get your squat to 185 and you're immune to pregnancy damage", but I appreciate any firsthand advice.And any demoralization niggers with "lol @ having kids" or "a child is a magical gift, who cares if your wife sustains permanent beauty loss :)" can GTFO

>>77003863We’re expecting our 3rd. My wife just takes a year off everything with fitness and diet and focus everything on sleep. Works great.
>>77003863just dont let that bitch get fatalso make sure shes living healthy while shes pregnant so ur kid isnt an inceleat clean, walk everyday and remember the 80/20 rule
>>77003863Make sure to give your kid the proper nutrition(wholefoods) so that he grows up to be tall with a well developed face and wide frame.
>>77003882Also, my wife gets exercises to do by her nurse. I’m no medical professional so I let them do all the work.
>>77003882how can she sleep if she has to get up 10 times a night>inb4 you do itklok
>>77003863She should keep her lifting/exercise routine, slowly adapting as her body demands, and of course avoiding really whole body heavy lifting as the pregnancy advances. A good non-jew doctor will help fine-tune her program.>>77003893This. She may crave foods that are not necessarily nutritious and will use the>but I'm carrying a babyexcuse to indulge herself and make you feel bad for trying to stop her. Don't give in. If she's not a retard she'll thank you later.Also keep bloodwork in check for all vitamins and minerals, it's pretty easy to be defficient on something in 202X and the risk increases for a pregnant woman. Defficiencies will increase her cravings, increase the chances of something going wrong with your child, and will make her feel physically worse than needed be.Maybe her body will never be 100% back to normal, but expect it to be 95% of what it used to be if you guys do everything right.>>77003909You sleep whenever the opportunity presents itself. She'll wake you when she needs you, so make sure you're sleeping rather than browsing/doing whatever whenever you get a 30/60/120 minutes window of peace.
>>77003863Congrats anon, thats awesome. I hope you find what works.
My wife had 4 kids (3 vag 1 c-section) and her body is better now than before kids. After the 4th she started getting strong in the basics. So, despite your request to not just say get strong in the squat, yes, get strong in the squat. Also, bench, overhead press (standing overhead press is mandatory for body shaping) and deadlift. if she can do them, chinups/pullus. If not, progressive the latpull with a variety of handle grips until you find one she is strongest in. Getting strong in the basics do the best overall body building/strngthening/shaping you can do. Its especially critical to link the upper body to the lower body if youre worried about rib cage, back, pelvic floor, guts, etc.
Appreciate the advice anons. To clarify, I meant that I unfortunately don't expect a doctor to tell her to just get strong, while I'm planning on telling her she NEEDS to get strong if she wants this to go smoothly. Her main friend who has had a baby was full on "anything more than a light walk is a risk to the child", so I'm prepping my case now.I probably should get a woman's barbell so she can do OHP and more upper body. I was thinking squats and RDLs would help to strengthen and restore pelvic floor/guts/lower body, but that makes perfect sense that upper body strength would help glue the ribs and midsection back together.

>>77003863Father of three here.Good tips here already. From my perspective, to add:- I hope your lasy likes to move her body, and keeps moving it- YOU = the father take over enough childcare, homework, whatever that she gots enough time to sleep, and after the first weeks starts with some sports- don’t expect any sex from her in the first time. My youngest kid is five years old, only now we‘re back at „hey, up for some action tonight?“- nevertheless kids are totally worth it, lots of fun, and I like to do sports with them- got a vasectomy three years ago = we fuck and don‘t need to worry anymore. Lots of fun, believe me
>>77003863Considering your choice of pic related I hope your wife miscarries.
>>77004467lmao
where and how do yall find your wife and lock her down?
Make sure to remind her a lot about hip drive. That’s important. Valsava while pushing can move things along, too. Most women need to eat more to get big. She should consider GOMAD. You should focus on getting stronger in the first two trimesters because the baby can always cut later. All three of you should focus on developing an anabolic state.

Biggest priority should be maintaining health during pregnancy. My wife ate primarily raw milk, grass fed beef, and eggs during pregnancy and her bloodwork was immaculate. She also walked and did some stretching daily. For the birth itself, I delivered alone at home so those communists couldn't make up a reason for a c section or poison the child. Post partum just rest and start walking as soon as it is comfortable. At around 6 weeks we introduced banded good mornings and shortly added kettlebell swings. Due to breastfeeding hormones squats and presses hurt her joints, but she still swings and walks daily. You don't have to complicate things, the body is meant to do this.
>>77003863no matter what you do she'll end up nasty, get a sidepiece
>>77003863>i acknowledge the reality of my wife's accelerated aging and permanent vaginal tearing and loss of bladder control>please, how do i mitigate these>and please, for the love of fucking god, do NOT tell me about the reality>get the FUCK outta here, demoralizers!kek at the coping father to be. enjoy your loss of self for the next twenty years. your wife will become uglier, her personality will become cuntier, her vagina will never be as tight. and the best part? you're going to lose all sense of self and self-worth, and when your kids move out at age 18 (if you're lucky), you will be completely lost. you will fuck your wife again, who is now fat and 30 years older. and you will not know what to do with your life.
>>77004467>don't hope, enforce exercise - women "taking it easy" during and after pregnancy is the biggest dang scam>every chore you take over from her is yours forever - be helpful, but do it randomly>if you let her get away with low/no sex that's what you'll get from her for the rest of your life - she has a duty to you too>kids are worth it, yes, can confirm>would she have surgery for you? Probably not. She's got other holes, just cream in those.T. Recovered stay-at-home dad.
Man, marriage sounds rough. Women are fucking horrible beings, huh?
There's a yoga/fitness YouTube, maybe it's Sam? That was pregnant and did workouts for pregnant women.Exercise is important. They need a strong core.
>>77003863Don’t weighted squat. you actually want those suspensory ligaments long and strong not short and tight and musclebound. Tearing can happen in many places and occurs when push but no place to go.this assumes you two are sizematched.If you’re significantly larger you’re gonna want to go with controlled pussy expansion. Expand with kegels the whole way. Your baby will be about 1 clavicle length wide. Keep her full of saturated fats and cholesterol. eggs are goated. but if she’s having trouble gelato is the key.Dave and Lana Asprey are pretty goated on the topic.other than that keep the calories regulated, lots of vitamin E on the skin. (grapeseed, almond and macadamia)vitamin k ( raw pumpkin seeds) to keep her squirting and tissues moist. she’s gonna be horny with the cholesterol high. Its like a bulking diet. you may soon hate sex.chocolate is a magnesium cravingfish is pottassiumcalcium dairy is great but keep some leafy greens as well you should boil them a bit. don’t worry about nutrient loss its more than compensated by anti-nutrient loss.Epsom salt with as hot a water as she can take for foot cramps. magnesium is best adsorbed through the skinGet a really good micronutrient panel. Every month if its your first time. I’m nuts so I’d do it bi weekly.Romanian Deadlifts (not conventional or wide stance) [if she doesnt have the flexibility do Elevated RDLs for 3/4 or 1/2 range] for months 1-3 to strengthen her back. months 4-6 roman chair. 7-9 massage and keep the tissues circulating manually. whats your size difference?Her hormone responses are gonna be what they are most of the negatives are stress related. Most shit feelings are electrolyte imbalance. 90%9% are macro (usually saturated fats shortage, sometimes protein) Oh egg whites are often bad1% micro but these are difficult to find and fix and can make huge quality changes. Restraint Level 0 embrace the gapewhats your size difference?
