Pregnancy and childbirth are like unloading goods. Except for my belly fat, nothing else has changed. After giving birth, my figure quickly returned to the same shape as before, even slimmer than before. This is probably everyone's impression of female celebrities giving birth. They can't help but sigh that female celebrities are simply the bug in women, and they are envious of them.

But there seem to be exceptions among female celebrities. Recently, Zhu Dan shared a set of postpartum photos on social platforms. Although the pictures are already refined, you can still see her chubby figure after giving birth. Netizens Call this the real postpartum state.

Regarding this group of photos, Zhu Dan himself said that recently many people have been discussing the issue of body shape after childbirth, so he posted this group of photos to share with everyone his joy after giving birth to his second child. She said that it is normal for mothers to have difficulty regaining their figure after giving birth. There is no need for mothers to have body anxiety because of this. They must have confidence, because flesh is their medal and they should be proud of it.

Netizens also expressed different views on this: "Me too, my belly still can't be reduced after a long time after giving birth", "This is how your body looks after giving birth, there is nothing to hide or feel embarrassed about" ", "The whole world has too strict requirements on women's body shape."

It is true that after giving birth to a baby, it is normal for mothers to have a small belly and not be able to fully recover for a while. However, for the sake of image, female celebrities control their figures extremely strictly during pregnancy. After childbirth, you usually need to actively exercise and control your weight under the guidance of professionals, so that you can recover quickly within a period of time. But for most of us ordinary people, there is actually no need to work so hard. I hope everyone will be more tolerant of mothers' figures. At the same time, there is no need for mothers to feel anxious because of their small belly.

However, if postpartum mothers have begun to control their diet, and after a period of postpartum body recovery, the belly still does not shrink, then it may not be simply because of obesity, but because of the separation of the rectus abdominis muscle. cause trouble.

The muscles connected in parallel on both sides of our abdomen are the rectus abdominis. During pregnancy, especially in the third trimester, the enlargement of the uterus will expand the abdominal wall. The rectus abdominis muscles, which are connected in parallel on both sides, move from the midline of the abdomen to both sides. separation. Under normal circumstances, the abdominal wall will gradually recover after childbirth, and the rectus abdominis will gradually move closer to the midline. Usually it can return to its original position in half a year to one year. If the rectus abdominis still cannot return to its original position half a year after delivery, it is called a postpartum abdomen. Diastasis recti.

Postpartum rectus abdominis separation is generally the result of a combination of abdominal wall conditions, multiple births, and an overlarge uterus during pregnancy. Everyone's abdominal wall condition, rectus abdominis muscle strength, and the width and intensity of the linea alba are different. Generally speaking, women with relatively weak rectus abdominis, low intensity of the linea alba, and a wide width of the linea alba are more likely to develop abdominal pain. Diastasis recti.

In addition, multiple pregnancy, multiple births, oversized fetuses, polyhydramnios, etc. may lead to excessive expansion of the abdominal wall. Failure to recover after delivery may lead to separation of the rectus abdominis, which is simply like a spring. It cannot recover after being overstretched.

1. Organ displacement and sagging

Separation of the rectus abdominis will compress the internal organs of the body. In severe cases, it can cause organ displacement and downward movement, such as gastroptosis, etc., thus causing nausea. , vomiting, indigestion and other symptoms.

2. Low back pain

The deeper the separation of the rectus abdominis, the weaker the strength of the abdominal muscles, and the stability of the spine will also decrease. Therefore, mothers often There may be back pain, and in severe cases it may even be difficult to get out of bed.

3. Urinary incontinence

After childbirth, the rectus abdominis muscle is separated and the bladder is compressed, causing some mothers to have urinary incontinence after childbirth. Ella from SHE has shared her experience before The embarrassment of postpartum urinary leakage.

1. Maintain a healthy weight

Pregnant mothers should pay attention to a healthy diet during pregnancy to ensure balanced nutrition and not to gain excessive weight. Macrosomia is one of the causes of diastasis rectus abdominis. one.

2. Keep exercising

It is best for pregnant mothers to maintain regular exercise and enhance their core strength before pregnancy. You should also insist on moderate exercise after pregnancy,

such as walking, yoga, moderate housework, etc., to strengthen the abdominal wall and lower limbs and reduce the probability of rectus abdominis separation.

3. Reduce abdominal pressure

As the belly gradually increases during pregnancy, the pressure on the pregnant mother’s abdomen is actually very great, so pregnant mothers should try to avoid it in daily life Increase pressure on the abdomen. For example, when sitting up in bed or on the sofa, try not to rely on the strength of your abdomen, but use your hands to support your standing.
