Today, a new baby mother came to consult me and said that she was still breastfeeding, but I heard that the golden period of maternal weight loss is within six months after delivery. So she wants to get some methods for pregnant women to lose weight. Her rectus abdominis was separated during pregnancy, but there were no other physical problems. Mother is the greatest in the world. Today, I hope this article will be helpful to all mothers who want to lose weight.

First, why do you get fat during pregnancy: During pregnancy, women will secrete a lot of progesterone and estrogen. If these hormones are high, they will give birth to fetuses and make women fat. After all, there is an old saying in China that a fetus grows up drinking its mother's blood. Especially in the third trimester, many women will have a big appetite and become bloated.

But don't worry too much, because after giving birth, you can get back into shape by grasping the opportunity.

Second, the golden period of maternal weight loss: the golden period of maternal weight loss is between six weeks and half a year after delivery.

During 1-4 weeks, it is absolutely not recommended to lose weight. Women are weak after giving birth and must be given a month's cycle to recover. Cesarean section must have a recovery period of 45 days.

Starting from six weeks after delivery, as long as there are no other abnormalities in the body, you can start to lose weight. Until six months after delivery, the body's estrogen level drops during this period, which is the golden period of weight loss.

Third, maternal dietary advice: 1, breastfeeding helps to lose weight.

Your nutrition will be given to the baby, and breastfeeding is good for uterine contraction.

2, do not diet to lose weight, pay attention to nutritional balance.

You just need to control calories and fat. Pay attention to the calories of each food and reduce the intake of high-calorie foods. Eat less fat and more fish and white meat (chicken) in your daily diet.

Diet should be light. A light diet is good for women. Eat less salty food with soy sauce. This kind of food contains a lot of sugar or salt, which not only increases body fat, but also is not conducive to the recovery of postpartum wounds.

Eat more vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits are not only nutritious, but also help mothers lose weight. Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables rich in cellulose after delivery will help promote intestinal digestion, relieve constipation and moisturize the skin.

3, you can eat less and eat more meals, and your diet should be regular.

It is best to eat regularly and quantitatively every day. Don't wolf down your food. You should chew slowly and eat for at least 20 minutes every meal.

Fourth, the exercise suggestion of maternal weight loss must be tied with a bra!

Mothers who give birth naturally can do some pelvic contractions after 3 to 5 days; Two weeks after delivery, you can do aerobics or stretching exercises; Pay special attention here. If there is postpartum hemorrhage in natural delivery, the mother needs to depend on her physical condition.

Mothers with cesarean section can start stretching exercise after the next month, and it is only suitable to exercise abdominal muscles for 6 ~ 8 weeks after delivery.

Whether it is cesarean section or natural delivery, any form of strenuous exercise should be avoided within 6 weeks after delivery.
