Why is the mother's stomach still so loose and fat after giving birth to the baby for 6 months, 1 year, or even three to five years? When shopping, I am often asked by the salesperson with a concerned face, "Mom, how many months are you pregnant?"
Obviously, the flesh on the face, arms, legs and feet is thin, but the stomach can't be reduced. Some people have lost weight, but their stomachs are still so loose and not tight.
It's not that they haven't tried some methods to improve this trouble. As far as I know, they used sports, slimming products, body shaping clothes and other methods to close their bodies, and even finally went to postpartum care institutions for repair. Can't say it has no effect at all. Some treasure moms seem to have lost weight as a whole, but their bellies are still so loose and not as tight as before.
Then why is this happening? In fact, this is all caused by the separation of rectus abdominis. During pregnancy, on the one hand, due to the role of hormones in the body, the white line of the mother's abdomen (which is located in the middle of the subcutaneous area of the abdomen) will relax and the connection strength will decrease; On the other hand, with the growth of the fetus and the enlargement of the uterus, the pressure on the mother will also increase. These two factors are superimposed together, which leads to the forced separation of the left and right rectus abdominis, forming the separation of rectus abdominis.
According to statistics, 60%-90% of pregnant women may have different degrees of rectus abdominis separation after delivery. When women have rectus abdominis separation, not only is the abdomen protruding, which affects the appearance, but also may lead to a series of problems such as pelvic forward tilt, hip weakness, low back pain, knee pain and so on. Mothers must pay attention!
If mothers don't know whether they are out of the rectus abdominis, they can use the rectus abdominis self-test method:
1. Lie on your back with your legs bent, exposing your abdomen.
2. The left hand is supported behind the head, and the index finger and middle finger of the right hand are vertically inserted into the abdomen, and the body is relaxed.
3. Lift your upper body and find the tense muscles until you feel the abdominal muscles on both sides squeezing your fingers in the middle.
4. Measure the distance between the muscles on both sides with your fingers. How many fingers can you put in?
There is a precious mother who wants to lose weight after the month. Remember, if your rectus abdominis separation has not recovered well, don't do abdominal curl, sit-ups and other exercises, which will aggravate the symptoms of rectus abdominis separation.
Postpartum recovery is a step-by-step process, so please be calm about slimming, be patient with your desire to lose weight, and don't rush for success, otherwise it will bring certain harm to your body.
Therefore, if mothers are troubled by "postpartum rectus abdominis separation", you can choose a nursing institution with professional postpartum evaluation, scientific postpartum recovery plan and natural therapy, which is responsible for yourself and your family.
