How long does it take to nurse and ovulate after delivery?
Whether breastfeeding or not, the first few menstrual cramps after delivery are usually irregular, and the interval and amount of menstruation may be different from that before pregnancy, but they will tend to be stable after several times. If the postpartum physiological cycle is very disordered for a long time, you must consult a gynecologist in time to avoid ignoring other physiological problems.
The recovery of postpartum menstruation varies from person to person, ranging from 6-8 weeks after delivery to one year or a year and a half after delivery. After coming, menstruation will be irregular because of the hormone regulation of the body. Prolactin produced during lactation will inhibit ovulation and have a certain impact on menstruation. Therefore, breastfeeding can delay menstruation. Generally, postpartum breastfeeding will resume menstruation in an average of 5-6 months. Ovulation only happens when you have menstruation.
Therefore, if the mother is not breast-feeding, menstruation is normal in 6~8 weeks after delivery. The research data showed that 40% of women who did not breastfeed resumed ovulation at 6 weeks after delivery, and only 35% of women did not resume ovulation and menstruation at 8- 12 weeks after delivery. About 25% of lactating women will resume ovulation and menstruation in postpartum 12 weeks, and most lactating women usually do not fully resume ovulation until 18 weeks. It is sometimes difficult to determine the exact time of the first menstruation after delivery, and a few women will start to have small to moderate intermittent bleeding immediately after delivery.
After the baby is born, the mother's menstrual recovery and ovulation time will be affected by breastfeeding. Non-breast-feeding mothers recover their menstruation quickly after delivery, and generally have menstruation at 6- 10 weeks after delivery. The ovulation and menstrual recovery of breast-fed babies are relatively slow, mainly because the mother's pituitary gland secretes prolactin to promote milk secretion, which will delay menstrual recovery. Some have not menstruated during lactation. Menstruation may occur after the full moon, otherwise it will not resume until the baby 1 year old.
How to lose weight after postpartum feeding
Although postpartum mothers need not pay attention to some taboos, postpartum mothers are generally in lactation, so mothers should pay attention to some matters after childbirth, mainly including:
First, the mother's first premise is that she must consume enough calories, and she can't control her diet because she wants to lose her stomach, especially when breastfeeding her children.
The second is to eat more vegetables. Vegetables contain cellulose, which will absorb water and expand, so it is easy to feel full and avoid excessive intake of excess calories. At the same time, when cooking, while ensuring the daily calories, eat less oil, less spices and less fried food.
Third, three meals should be regularly quantified. If you don't eat breakfast, or only eat two meals a day, your metabolic function will be disordered and your metabolic rate will decrease. And you will eat more when you are hungry, so you must eat three meals instead of midnight snack.
