Why do women gain weight after giving birth?
That's because all the organs of the body have changed after delivery.

Shortly after delivery, because of the fetus, placenta, amniotic fluid, etc. All of them will be excreted, and the weight will be reduced by about 5 kilograms. After that, due to lochia discharge, increased urine volume, sweating or breast milk secretion, the weight will gradually drop. But after that, the rate of weight loss will slow down, and it will almost stop at a certain weight level from 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. ?

In the first stage, after delivery 1 week, the uterine and internal functions recovered. In order to meet the arduous task of "delivery", the joints and pelvis of pregnant mothers will become slack, and internal organs will be squeezed during pregnancy, and muscles and ligaments will inevitably be strained during delivery, or the wounds will be compressed after cesarean section.

When choosing corset products in the early postpartum period, you should avoid tying them too tightly. It is recommended to choose a corset product that is soft and comfortable and can be worn for 24 hours, with tight pants with moderate elasticity and easy to put on and take off, to give moderate pressure to the uterus and help the body function recover slowly. At the same time, with moderate postpartum exercise, pelvis and vagina will return to normal. ?

The second stage, the second week after delivery, contracts the abdomen and restores the abdominal wall. After a period of adjustment and rest, the internal function and physical strength of pregnant mothers have mostly returned to normal, but the recovery speed of postpartum abdominal wall is not as fast as uterine contraction, which is easy to form a cavity in the abdomen, resulting in fat accumulation.

If you only want to rely on the original strength to restore your body, you have to spend more energy. It is suggested that pregnant mothers can use abdominal products with strong binding force in the abdominal position during the day, adhere to the strong abdominal wall, eliminate the fat accumulated in the lower abdomen, and help the rectus abdominis and the left and right pelvis recover to their original state.

At night, it is recommended to change back to the comfortable clothes in the first stage to avoid getting fat after giving birth.
