When can I lose weight after delivery?
Postpartum recovery includes the recovery and rest of reproductive organs, pelvic muscles, uterus and other organs, which generally takes 6 ~ 8 days, so you can get out of bed and walk appropriately according to your own situation within 42 days after delivery, which is not suitable for high-intensity exercise that requires effort. In addition, if the mother has fully recovered and does not need breastfeeding, she can also lose weight through proper exercise and diet control.
1, confinement period: physiological recovery period
The first month after delivery is an important period for postpartum mothers to recover. For the sake of health, I didn't consider too many means of tightening and shaping at first, but after sitting down for the next month, all the functions of the body will recover quickly, endocrine will return to normal, metabolism will be smooth, and it will also help to restore body shape.
Moderate abdominal massage:
After delivery, the swollen uterus and abdominal tissue will naturally recover. In order to avoid discomfort in the process of rapid recovery, it is suggested that the parturient should do moderate circular massage in the abdomen to promote the smooth recovery of the uterus. Massage combined with firming cream can increase the elasticity and compactness of the relaxed abdominal muscles.
Use a corset:
Abdominal band can give appropriate pressure to abdomen and buttocks, help internal organs to return, restore abdominal wall and pelvis to pre-pregnancy state, and tighten loose abdominal muscles; It is recommended to use corsets after 5 days of production. Slim figure is not a dream.
Have a good rest:
Harvard Medical School once conducted a survey on postpartum mothers: the average weight of mothers who sleep less than 5 hours a day is more than that of mothers who sleep for 7 hours 10 kg. What a terrible number. Due to lack of sleep, imbalance in hormone secretion and abnormal metabolism, it is easy to cause "metabolic obesity". The study also found that mothers who don't get enough sleep are more than twice as difficult to lose weight as ordinary people. Therefore, sleeping for two more hours every day will help to restore your body shape.
2. 48 days to 3 months after delivery: the skin is firm and gentle.
After confinement, the next step is the critical period for postpartum mothers to tighten their skin and shape. During this period, we must work hard on diet and exercise.
A small, multi-meal high-fiber diet:
After the high calorie and high protein intake period during confinement, the concept of eating more fruits and vegetables and high fiber is gradually introduced into the diet in a small number of meals at this stage, which helps the normal metabolism of the stomach and intestines, effectively improves the constipation of many postpartum mothers, and can reduce fat accumulation and tighten waist and hip circumference.
Postpartum fitness exercise:
It is not recommended to do exercise immediately after giving birth, but one month after giving birth, the physical condition has almost recovered. At this time, you can do some exercises to tighten the abdominal muscles and waist muscles, and you can also consume excess calories and reduce abdominal and hip fat. Abdominal breathing is a good method.
Abdominal breathing:
Lie flat on the bed with your knees bent, put your hands on your abdomen, inhale hard to make your abdomen swell and bulge, and then exhale slowly to make your abdomen sag. Repeat 10~ 15 times.
Are postpartum slimming clothes that good?
There are many doorways when choosing a corset. First of all, the corset should not be too tight or too loose. Tight underwear will affect the body's circulation and metabolism, and even cause edema due to lymphatic compression. If it is too loose, it will have no effect at all. Therefore, it must be evenly applied to all parts of the body with certain exercise, so as to lose weight.
The material of the bra is also very important. Corsets are close-fitting clothes, so they must be comfortable, breathable and sweat-wicking, so as to avoid allergies. Finally, choose a reputable commodity company. The functional design of brand underwear is based on scientific human mechanical structure, and some high-quality materials will be used in the materials.
The utility of any product varies from person to person. Therefore, whether it is corset or hip-lifting pants, it is suggested that new mothers can choose according to their actual needs, try to consider their physical condition, and don't blindly lose weight and shape.
When postpartum abdominal girdling works well varies from person to person. Some female friends with good physical quality can wear corsets one month after delivery. Of course, this refers to friends who have a natural birth. If it is caesarean section, they need to wear it after the incision is restored, otherwise it will cause the incision to crack, which is easy to cause physical injury and is not conducive to the recovery of postpartum physical and mental health. If you don't breastfeed after caesarean section, it is suggested that you can wear a corset after two months of uterine recovery. If you breastfeed, you should stop breastfeeding and then wear a corset. If you don't breastfeed after delivery, you can wear a corset after at least 42 days of examination. Therefore, when to wear a postpartum corset varies from person to person.
2 The time to wear corsets after delivery is different. From a health point of view, you can wear a corset for one month after delivery, and it is best to wait until your body recovers. Because the corset has a certain pressure on the body, it can tighten fat and loose meat, and the body is still weak just after giving birth, and the natural recovery of function will be healthier for the inside of the body. Caesarean section is the best recovery time after half a year after delivery, and you can wear a corset. Because you have to wait for the wound on caesarean section to heal, the energy consumed and endocrine function will make your body in a state of high metabolism. After the wound of caesarean section is healed, wearing corset will help the internal organs displaced during pregnancy to return to their original positions, and also help accelerate the discharge of lochia.
3 How to choose corset 1 and elastic fiber knitted corset products after delivery generally contain spandex in the middle and low grades, and natural extracted fibers such as cuprammonia fiber and modal in the high grades. It is characterized by three-dimensional knitting, body shaping effect, especially the effect of abdomen and hip lifting, and it is not tight. As daily underwear, there is no uncomfortable feeling, and you can wear it for a long time without losing weight and shaping yourself unconsciously. 2. The traditional corset is made of spandex fabric and glue bone. Some high-tech products add chitin and triangle silk to stimulate skin metabolism, but mothers who have not given birth for a long time may not be able to stand it.
