Weight Loss After Pregnancy

Losing weight after pregnancy is on many women's mind soon after they give birth to their baby. Most women report being comfortable with the way their body changes during pregnancy and love their new found curves. It is a totally different story once they give birth and see in the mirror a loose belly and extra fat around their waist and hips.

Many Hollywood celebrities have gone through pregnancy (sometimes having twin babies) and then appeared one month after with a perfect body therefore giving the impression to other women that losing weight after pregnancy is an instant process.

What regular people do not see is the constant effort and often the dangerous starving these actresses put themselves through to lose weight fast after pregnancy.

When considering losing weight after pregnancy, a good rule of thumb is to consider the process to take anywhere from 6 to 12 months. A woman who is breastfeeding should also privilege the baby's and her needs over her looks.

In instance to lose weight after pregnancy in a healthy way, good common sense still applies. Consulting first with a qualified caregiver, eating healthy food in reasonable amounts and exercising at a comfortable pace are all good techniques.

A woman who just gave birth should continue her vitamin supplements especially if she is involved in an exercise program and desires to lose weight after birth.

Drastic dieting and appetite suppressants are dangerous and should be avoided at all cost.

A woman who gave birth should also respect her pace and know when to rest and settle down if she is tired. After all, she will spend countless hours taking tare of her newborn baby and may lack sufficient sleep. Exercising beyond exertion is a very dangerous habit.

A breastfeeding woman should also favour good hydration and drink plenty of water during the day as her needs are increased.

Weight loss after pregnancy is possible but good common sense is mandatory. Eating right amount of fruits and vegetables, making sure your iron needs are met and moving around are all good ways to start getting back in shape.

One fun way to exercise is to incorporate exercises that include the baby. Such exercises can be good for the mother's abdominal muscles and will help bounding with her newborn baby. Another great way to move around and beat the post-partum blues is to make it a habit of going outside at least once a day and walk with the baby in a stroller or a baby carrying sling. This way, the new mother gets her required daily sunlight which is a good way to lower her risk of baby blues or post-partum depression.

Since it is not always easy to eat properly once a newborn has arrived, an expecting mother can decide to cook during her pregnancy some healthy meals and freeze them. Better yet, she can have a cooking party with some of her friends who are also pregnant. This way, they can share their healthy recipes, exchange food and have a great day together.

Weight loss after pregnancy is a need many women have and can be accomplished with sound means. A woman should give herself time and enjoy her newborn baby and trust that if she takes the proper actions such as eating healthy and gets active, she will find back her figure.
