I am MAGGY who loves sharing, a Beijing mom, and I am very happy to answer this question.
The belly should be softer after giving birth. Some mothers have larger belly during pregnancy because there is more amniotic fluid in the belly, so the belly will feel soft after giving birth. Many mothers are concerned about how to get back in shape. Some recover faster after giving birth, while others recover more slowly. I will share my personal experience with you.
Before I got pregnant, my weight was usually within 100 kilograms. When I gave birth, I weighed 170 kilograms. You must be surprised by this number. But when the baby was more than two months old, my weight had dropped to 110 kilograms. You must have a lot of questions after weighing so many pounds, haha.
In fact, I didn’t lose weight during that time, and I also ate a lot. I was living at my mother-in-law’s house at the time, and my mother-in-law made different soups for me every day, such as pig’s trotter soup, crucian carp soup, big stick bone soup, etc. , no matter how greasy it is, I will eat it without considering my weight. Because I have always insisted on breastfeeding, I eat well and nutritiously so that my child's milk is good and sufficient, so it is all for the sake of my child.
Breastfeeding is the healthiest thing
Frankly speaking, I did not lose weight before my child was one year old, but my weight was basically back to before. This is the benefit of breastfeeding. Of course, the belly will be softer just after giving birth, so you should also cooperate with appropriate exercise, but the amount of exercise should not be too large. You can exercise moderately according to your own situation.
The above is my answer, I hope it will be helpful to you. If you are a pregnant woman, I wish your baby will be born safely. If you are already a mother, I hope your baby will grow up strong. All mothers are great, I wish you more and more beauty. Welcome to leave a message and comment.
After giving birth to a baby, the flesh on the belly is loose and loose, like a hose hanging on it. It is very loose and soft. It looks very ugly when I put on clothes. What should I do if I don’t even want to take a look? If you want to stop the flabby belly fat, you must first know the reason why the tummy fat becomes flabby.
Reasons for flabby belly
1. Giving birth
During pregnancy, the belly is so big, but after giving birth, the belly shrinks rapidly. No timely measures were taken. The belly will become less elastic at all, resulting in a saggy belly.
2. Too fat
After people gain weight, fat will be thicker than muscle. There will be less muscle in the abdomen but a lot of fat, and the meat on the abdomen will become flabby. Therefore, if you want to make the abdominal muscles no longer flabby, you must reduce abdominal fat and increase muscle content.
3. Lose weight quickly
If you are very fat and have successfully lost weight through weight loss, it is normal for the fat in your abdomen to become flabby. So will all fat people have loose abdominal muscles when they lose weight? No, if you lose weight through scientific methods such as exercise, this situation will basically not happen. Therefore, the reason why the belly becomes loose is generally due to the use of surgical weight loss or drug weight loss.
After reading about the reasons for flabby belly fat, is there any way to tighten the belly fat?
1. Choose a sport you like
Why emphasize that you should like it? Because exercise to lose weight is something that requires long-term persistence. If you don’t like this exercise, or you are not competent at the intensity of the exercise, then you will not be able to persist. You can choose this exercise according to yourself, it can be running, cycling, yoga You can do it by doing exercises, hula hoops, or running stairs, etc. As long as you keep exercising, the loose fat in your abdomen will naturally become firmer, and your body shape will get better and better. The key is whether you have determination and perseverance.
2. Alternate hot and cold method
If your abdomen is loose in a large area, you can choose the steaming method, buy a steamer, and point the steam port towards your abdomen Steam for 10 minutes, then use a cold towel to apply a cold compress. After the cold compress, apply some essential oil for delicate skin and massage.
3. Strength training
The loose flesh on the belly means that the body fat rate is also very high. These people have one thing in common, that is, they wear clothes to look thin. , so it won’t work if you just train your abdominals. If you only have a lot of fat on your abdomen, then the focus of training should not be just on the abdomen, but should choose training exercises to slim down the whole body. You can do about 20 minutes of anaerobic exercise every day, and then add fat-reducing recipes. , after a month of persistence, you can see that the fat in your abdomen has improved significantly.
4. Methods for postpartum abdominal relaxation
Apply olive oil and massage, but this method must be adhered to, and then combined with sit-ups and exercises. It will take at least a month of exercise to see the effect. .
To restore the firmness of the belly after childbirth, it is necessary to promote the recovery of the body through reasonable diet and moderate exercise. Try to eat more foods rich in high-quality protein and vitamins, and eat less foods rich in fats and oils.
Gradually resume sports activities and strengthen the movements of the lower limbs, waist and abdomen.
1. Breastfeeding after childbirth can help reduce fat accumulation and promote the recovery of the uterus.
2. Abdominal belts can be used appropriately three months after delivery to help shape your body shape.
3. Depending on the physical recovery after delivery, you can choose jogging, cycling, postpartum exercises, yoga, sit-ups, hula hoops and other exercises to promote fat consumption.
I have given birth to two children, and now my second child is two years old. I remember when I just gave birth, I looked down at my belly and saw that the fat and stretch marks were all crowded together. Can't look directly.
It still can't be completely restored to the flatness and smoothness it used to be before I was born. 1. What is the true state of a woman’s belly after giving birth?
Due to the ten-month pregnancy, a woman’s belly becomes bigger and bigger, and the elastic fibers and collagen fibers on her belly skin are damaged or even broken. , which in turn causes the skin on the abdomen to become thinner and thinner. After giving birth, the true state of the abdomen will no longer be the same.
After a woman gives birth, the skin on her belly becomes loose like a deflated rubber ball. This is because during pregnancy, the abdominal muscles of a woman will be stretched and even separated as the belly grows. After giving birth, the abdominal muscle tension is significantly weakened, so relaxation occurs.
As the gestational age increases during pregnancy, the expectant mother’s belly gradually enlarges and bulges, and the elastic fibers of her skin are pulled or even broken, forming stretch marks. Generally, as long as stretch marks appear, they may fade after giving birth, but they are still difficult to eliminate. Of course, there are some women with better skin and almost no stretch marks.
Usually after giving birth, the belly will not "disappear" immediately. For a long period of time, it may still feel like being pregnant for 4 or 5 months. As the child grows up, the fat on a woman's belly will gradually decrease, but it is still difficult to return to the "flat" shape without any fat before pregnancy.
In addition, if a woman's delivery method is a caesarean section, she will still have a scar left by the caesarean section on her belly after delivery. This scar is like stretch marks. Although it will fade, it can still be seen clearly if you look closely. come out. 2. How to restore the belly after giving birth?
Many women who have given birth may be worried about how to return to the belly they had before pregnancy. In fact, in real life, many mothers also have belly bumps after giving birth. Having a baby is like never giving birth. Of course, this also depends on whether the individual's physique is easy to recover.
? Wearing a corset: Wearing a corset in time after delivery can help women reduce belly fat and restore their figure. It should be noted that: it is not recommended to tie the abdominal belt only around the waist, but from below the chest to the pelvis (try not to tighten it too tightly).
? Diet adjustment: If you want your belly to recover quickly, you need to adjust your diet. It is recommended to stay away from high-fat foods and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits. Of course, you should also pay attention to your diet. Try to be as diverse as possible to ensure nutritional balance.
?Exercise: After giving birth, when the body has almost recovered, the mother can start to do some exercise step by step. You must know that moderate exercise can not only help women eliminate belly fat, but also achieve the purpose of tightening the skin. Conclusion
In short, the true state of a woman’s belly after giving birth is quite ugly (many expectant mothers may not dare to look at their belly), but through hard work and persistence, I believe that most mothers can can recover better.
I am very happy to answer this question.
After I gave birth to the baby, there were no stretch marks on my stomach. In addition, I recovered well in the later period. It was the same as before I gave birth to the baby. There is no difference. Maybe it's because I'm thin. Most stretch marks are hereditary. My mother didn't have them before. Maybe I inherited them from my mother.
The second child is now eight months old, and it hasn’t grown yet. Some time ago, it was very itchy, and I thought it was going to grow, but the itchiness has gone away in the past few days. Some people say that it won’t grow until 35 or 6 weeks. Yes, some people say that stretch marks appear earlier in the second pregnancy and will disappear if they are less than thirty weeks old.
I usually apply Kangaroo Mother Olive Oil, but I don’t apply it every day. I apply it every few days. Sometimes I forget and don’t apply it for a few days. Pregnant mothers don’t have to worry too much, as long as it’s not too Even if you are fat, you should also apply more pregnancy oil. If you do get stretch marks, it will be okay. When you become a mother, you put your children first. No one can see your belly when you wear clothes. The most important thing is It’s about your own health and your children’s health.
Stretch marks generally do not require treatment. If the stretch marks are obvious, they will seriously affect the appearance and bring great mental pressure to pregnant women. If patients want to seek medical help, they can consult a doctor. Doctors can generally make a preliminary judgment by asking about medical history and observing the characteristics of skin lines.
There are two aspects to what the belly will look like after giving birth:
1. It is related to fat or thinness. I have seen babies whose bellies still look like they are six months pregnant. It's because I'm much fatter after pregnancy than before. The baby plus the amniotic fluid, placenta, etc. will weigh only a dozen pounds at most. Some people gain dozens of pounds before pregnancy and after giving birth, and become so fat that they lose their shape.
2. It is related to personal skin. Some people are prone to stretch marks on their stomachs, while others have few or none. Applying oil would be better, but in the end it's still a matter of skin quality.
Many people have a misunderstanding that they need to eat food for two people during pregnancy. This is wrong. As long as the nutrition is balanced and the food intake is the same as before, it is fine.
I didn’t insist on applying oil during pregnancy. When I gave birth, it was in August. It was too hot and I didn’t wear a restraint. My belly has never lost weight. Now I am even more lazy to do exercise with my baby. I only go for a walk after meals at most. . If you want to lose weight, you still need to exercise self-discipline and match your diet. I have friends who drink oatmeal for breakfast in the morning. I feel that my appetite has been developed during pregnancy. I can't tolerate eating oatmeal at all, so there is a reason for it, ugh
After giving birth, most women will have loose abdominals, separated rectus abdominis muscles, core weakness, and may have stretch marks. It is difficult to return to the tight state before giving birth, and the entire abdomen will not look good. Physiological problems that affect the posture of dressing, often accompanied by sagging private parts and sagging viscera, will affect the good feelings of couples' sexual life and will also cause a certain amount of psychological pressure.
First of all, after women give birth to children, they must face up to their physical problems, not let them go, make timely adjustments, and love themselves more, instead of just focusing on their families and children. If women take more care of themselves and maintain good health and condition, their families will be harmonious and happy, and they will also care for their families better.
Postpartum repair can achieve good results through a combination of manipulation and exercise.
Generally, postpartum repair is recommended to be completed within six months. This period is the best repair period for elastic fibers, and fat is also in a free state, which is the best time for fat loss. After more than 5-7 weeks, the elastic fiber repair speed decreases significantly, and the body's fat accumulation is in a wrapped state, making it difficult to lose fat. Especially for women over 35 years old, recovery speed and difficulty increase due to slower metabolism.
Your body has gone through 10 months of long pregnancy, coupled with the double trauma of a caesarean section. Your body needs a long time to recover. Don’t be tempted to lose weight quickly, as this will be unhelpful and harmful to your body.
The benefits of choosing yoga after delivery. Postpartum exercise promotes blood circulation, helps the recovery of internal organs and connective tissue, accelerates muscle fiber regrowth, and reduces postpartum urinary retention, uterine prolapse, private laxity, slow uterine involution, etc. Phenomenon, yoga practice is gentle and regulates qi and blood, which is conducive to postpartum body recovery. If you rush into shape quickly and blindly increase the amount of exercise, you will only cause internal damage to the body.
Therefore, choose restorative yoga exercises within 180 days, because this period is also the recovery period of various body systems. It regulates the body while taking into account shaping. After 180 days, when your body has recovered, consider rapid shaping exercises.
Recommended exercise time and frequency
Five days after normal delivery and seven days after caesarean section, it is recommended to exercise 3 to 5 hours a week;
Healthy pregnant women aged 20 to 40 after childbirth It is suitable to be divided into four levels of progressive exercise:
Level 1 mild: within 28 days after natural delivery, within 42 days after caesarean section;
Level 2 weak intensity: within 28 to 90 days after natural delivery , within 42 to 160 days after caesarean section;
The third level of medium intensity: within 90 to 180 days after normal delivery, within 160 to 210 days after caesarean section;
The fourth level of medium intensity: between 180 days after delivery Within 1 year;
Level 5 higher intensity: 1 year after delivery
After giving birth, your belly will feel loose. But it is much more comfortable than when I was pregnant in ten months. Maybe it's because I'm relatively thin. Before pregnancy, I was 104 pounds and 162cm tall. 142 pounds during delivery. The whole face is round. However, during my pregnancy, I kept walking to and from get off work. Riding a bicycle for the first 4 months. Before I was pregnant, I used to ride a bicycle to and from get off work. The back part is very good and the amount of exercise is relatively balanced. After giving birth, I was weighed when I was discharged from the hospital and still weighed 130 pounds.
Then came the terrifying confinement period. My milk supply was enough when I was in the hospital. Eat relatively light meals every day. After I was discharged from the hospital, I took the high-speed rail back to my husband's house in the countryside for confinement. Chicken wine soup every day, lots and lots of fat. My mother-in-law is really busy. She has elderly people at home and a grandson to take care of. She never stops from morning to night every day. I was embarrassed to ask her to remove the fat from the chicken before making soup. So I drank chicken fat soup for a month and drank egg and brown sugar water for a month. My weight reached 146 pounds. Even fatter than when I was pregnant. However, my milk supply became less and less, and there was not enough for the baby to drink during the confinement period. Sometimes I have to add milk powder for him to drink so that he doesn't feel hungry.
After confinement, I left my husband’s house with the baby and returned to my parents’ house to take care of the baby. The food at my father's house is relatively light and the soup is well prepared. There is no oil or water. Then I drank Tongcao crucian carp soup several times and successfully recovered my milk.
My baby started sleeping through the night at four months, and I no longer have to get up in the middle of the night to prescribe milk powder because of insufficient milk supply. The baby also started to grow rounder.
Before I knew it, six months had passed and my maternity leave was over. The company informed me to go back to work. Before I weighed myself, it was obvious that my belly was flat, but when I sat down, I still had a little belly bag, which was unsightly and flat. The flesh is no longer as firm as before. Having a baby really ruins your skin. Although I don’t have pregnancy marks on my belly, I do have some pregnancy marks on both sides of my cheeks, which have never gone away.
When I was 6 months old, I weighed 102 pounds, which was even thinner than before pregnancy. I lost another 4 pounds after going to work, and returned to my college weight of 98 pounds. Then it fluctuated directly between 98-102 pounds.
Breastfeeding really makes you lose weight as you feed. No need to deliberately reduce it.
Some mothers have been breastfeeding, but it has been difficult to recover. This is related to your own physical constitution. You have to wait until the baby is weaned to lose fat by changing his diet and combining exercise.
My cousin is the kind I mentioned later. She was weaned when her baby was over one year old and started to make some adjustments to her eating habits, reducing oil, salt and fat, and then doing 30 to 60 minutes of rope skipping after every meal. Sit less and stand more. After three months, my body has recovered quite well.
It is not easy for mothers to have babies, they have to sacrifice a lot. But I believe that managing your body shape with this nurturing perseverance will come naturally. More patience, more persistence, more perseverance. May mothers gain another beautiful version of themselves while accompanying their babies to grow healthily.
People who are thin recover quickly after giving birth. After I gave birth to two children, my belly recovered quickly because I was very thin at that time. Now it looks like my belly has never been pregnant. It’s the same with children. This is a photo one year after giving birth to the second child.
As a personal trainer: I feel that the younger I have the child, the better, because the body recovers quickly and you can do some appropriate things after 3 months. If you are not breastfeeding, you can do strength training, running, walking, stretching, etc. If you are breastfeeding, it is not recommended to exercise because it will produce lactic acid. After breastfeeding, of course, diet is more important when exercising. 3 points to practice and 7 points to eat
