What misunderstandings need to be avoided in postpartum shaping?
Postpartum shaping is a process that needs to be treated with caution. Here are some common misunderstandings:

1.* Start exercising too early *: It may be harmful to your health to start strenuous exercise immediately after delivery. Generally speaking, mothers who give birth naturally can start moderate exercise after 6 weeks, and mothers who have caesarean section need to wait 8- 10 weeks. It's best to consult a doctor before starting any exercise program.

2.* Neglect of nutrition intake *: Postpartum recovery needs a lot of nutrition, including protein, vitamins and minerals. If the diet is not balanced, it may affect the recovery and shaping effect of the body.

3.* Excessive dieting *: Although weight control is a part of postpartum shaping, excessive dieting may lead to the lack of necessary nutrition in the body, thus affecting breastfeeding and physical recovery.

4.* Neglect of mental health *: Postpartum depression is a common psychological problem, which may affect the mother's mood and behavior. If you feel persistent sadness, anxiety or inability to cope with daily life, you should seek professional psychological counseling.

5.* Expectation is too high *: Everyone's body is unique, and the speed of postpartum recovery will be different. Don't set too high expectations for yourself, but give yourself enough time and space to adapt to the new pace of life.

6.* Neglect pelvic floor muscle training *: Delivery will cause certain damage to pelvic floor muscles, and if proper training is not carried out, it may lead to problems such as urinary incontinence. Therefore, pelvic floor muscle training should be carried out after delivery.

7.* Blind pursuit of quick results *: A healthy weight loss rate should be 0.5- 1 kg per week. Excessive weight loss may lead to malnutrition and health problems.

The above are some misunderstandings that need to be paid attention to in postpartum shaping, and I hope it will help you.
