Most postpartum mothers, in the first few days, the abdomen looks as big as five months pregnant, because the uterus is still swollen and has not fully recovered. After 3- 18 months, the uterus will gradually recover.
However, when the fetus grows and develops in the uterus, the abdominal muscles are overstretched and stretched, and the muscle elasticity will be substantially reduced. Abdominal muscles are very loose and need time to recover. * * * and exercise are very helpful to restore elasticity.
First of all, let's understand why the pregnant belly will get bigger.
The doctor explained that this is because after pregnancy, the uterus gradually becomes bigger, the amniotic fluid in the uterus gradually increases, and the baby gradually grows up, so the stomach will gradually become bigger.
Some mothers have no control over the abdomen in the second month, and let themselves go. Some mothers are eager to have an abdomen and want to use the abdominal belt a few days after delivery. In fact, these two extreme practices are not conducive to the recovery of postpartum abdomen.
How was the postpartum, thin belly?
1, establish a correct concept
Many people go on a diet to lose weight after childbirth, which is totally incorrect. Dieting to lose weight is effective, but it is extremely bad for new mothers after delivery, which will seriously affect their health! New mothers who have just given birth should not blindly diet to lose weight. Because the body has not fully recovered to the pre-pregnancy level at this time, some new mothers are still shouldering heavy feeding tasks. At this time, it is time to supplement nutrition. Postpartum forced dieting will not only lead to slow recovery of new mothers, but also lead to various postpartum complications. Eating diet pills is even more undesirable. Breast-feeding new mothers take diet pills, and most of the drugs will be discharged from the milk, which means that the baby has also taken a lot of drugs with you.
2. Good eating habits
In order to eliminate constipation, try to reduce overeating and overeating, and eat more fibrous food. Eat more carbohydrates conducive to defecation, drink a glass of mineral water on an empty stomach in the morning, and then drink yogurt with fiber.

If you have constipation, you must go to the hospital for diagnosis and take appropriate measures.

Cold water can make your stomach squirm and your internal organs work. In the morning, it is very important to get rid of the garbage in the body. Shortly after delivery, you will often suffer from constipation. You might as well add some salt to your drinking water. Correct drinking habits will make your abdomen beautiful.
4, sit-ups and thin stomachs It is said that this kind of exercise is particularly effective for people with abdominal hypertrophy. Lie at the end of the bed, keep it outside the bed below the hips, and then bend your knees so that your thighs are above your abdomen. Put your hands on your sides and palms under your hips. Next, you should tuck in your abdomen, straighten your legs forward at a speed of slowly counting to 10 to make your body in a straight line, then bend your knees at a speed of counting to 5 and return your thighs to their original positions.
