There are tips for losing weight after childbirth. Have you learned all these tips?

I believe that all mothers after childbirth will face this problem - postpartum weight loss. This problem is also quite troublesome because the body shape is very serious at this time. Some mothers are eager to restore their figure, but they also need to combine it with a reasonable diet.

1. Massage + astringent

The uterus recovers by constantly contracting, and we can also help it recover through massage and taking contraction drugs. You can learn from your doctor how to massage the fundus of the uterus to stimulate the uterine muscles, help the body expel lochia, and empty the uterus. If you find that there is too much bleeding in your lower body, you can use a contraction agent, which can quickly help the mother adjust her body and return to normal as soon as possible.

2. Shenghua Tang

When it comes to Shenghua Tang, you must be familiar with it. After giving birth, the elders in the family will give the mother a bowl of it, and the purpose is also to help the uterus recover. In fact, compared with contraction agents, the main effect of this soup is to promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, replenish blood and qi, and it is very suitable for drinking during the confinement period. The contraction agent is used to prevent excessive bleeding after giving birth. Therefore, drinking Shenghua Tang is very helpful about 40 days after delivery.

3. Postpartum exercise

In addition to the recovery of the uterus, the pelvis also needs to be recovered. If the pelvis does not recover well, it will bring multiple troubles to your future self, such as back pain, lower abdominal distension, urinary incontinence, etc. In terms of pelvic recovery, you must pay attention to avoiding high-intensity labor as much as possible, such as moving rubbish, squatting, etc. These actions should not be performed within 6 months after giving birth.

Although high-intensity labor is not allowed, simple postpartum exercises are still necessary. Postpartum exercise can help the recovery of the uterus and pelvis. About seven days after giving birth, you can do some simple exercises such as lifting your legs, deep breathing, and lifting your hips.

4. Stimulate the nipples

Many mothers don’t know that breastfeeding can also help with recovery, because when the baby drinks milk, it stimulates the nipples, and the mother’s body will produce uterine contractions, which accelerates the recovery of the uterus. In addition, you can apply a clean hot towel to your breasts or massage your breasts to stimulate the secretion of uterine contraction hormone.

Finally, let's take a look at how to judge whether the uterus has recovered. You can go to the hospital for a formal examination, or you can check it yourself. There are two ways to check yourself. One is to observe the lochia. As the contraction progresses, the color of this vaginal discharge will also change: from the initial blood red to pink, and finally to no color. The second is to touch the belly. Mothers who have just given birth can try to touch their belly button, and you can easily touch the bottom of the uterus. About half a month later, when you touch your belly again, you will find that you can no longer feel it, which means that the uterus has recovered very well.

Some new mothers say that their lower abdomen has not recovered at all after giving birth. Is it because of poor uterine contraction? In fact, this is just because the baby stretched the skin of the lower abdomen during pregnancy. It cannot recover in a short period of time, and you need to spend more time resting. But if you feel something hard in your lower abdomen, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. This may be uterine fibroids! Don’t underestimate uterine contraction. Once the contraction is poor, it will cause severe hemorrhage, which is also called "heavy bleeding". Even doctors find this "heavy bleeding" very difficult, so the care of the uterus after childbirth cannot be ignored!
