What exercise is the fastest way to lose weight after childbirth?

Many mothers who originally had a slim figure have their beautiful figures completely distorted after giving birth, with baggy stomachs and thighs, and bulging bellies. These changes make many mothers afraid to face themselves and feel very sad. Therefore, some mothers can't wait to lose weight after giving birth, wanting to return to their slim figure before childbirth as soon as possible. So is this approach to immediate weight loss the right one? How long after giving birth is the best time to lose weight? What exercises can help you get back in shape quickly? Let’s see what the doctor says.

Doctors do not recommend losing weight after giving birth. Because if you lose weight at this time, your diet will be abnormal and if you still breastfeed, the baby will not get enough nutrition. In addition, the body has not recovered from giving birth and some wounds have not healed. Neither exercise nor dieting at this time will do women any good.

You can also develop some exercise plans to lose weight after childbirth. It is best for postpartum mothers not to do strenuous exercise. Strenuous exercise will not only harm the body that has not recovered after childbirth, but also consume sugar and water in the body. Maybe the mother feels that she has lost weight, but in fact the weight will go back up if she drinks some water. Moreover, strenuous exercise consumes too much energy, which will increase the mother's appetite and food intake. Doing so will not only fail to help lose weight, but will make her gain weight instead. Therefore, doctors recommend that postpartum mothers can choose some low-intensity exercises to lose weight, such as mountain climbing, skipping rope, and yoga. These exercises are all aerobic exercises. If you stick to doing them for 30 minutes each time, you will be able to lose weight. If you are an office mom, if you can maintain a standard and correct sitting posture, it will be easy to lose weight! Of course, it is best to walk more and not sit for a long time.

Many mothers choose to use belly belts to lose weight after childbirth. Doctors say that mothers who give birth naturally can use a belly belt the day after delivery, but they need to take it off after 2 hours to allow the abdomen to rest. Doctors recommend that mothers who have undergone cesarean section use it after the wound has healed. Of course, using it within 7 days after delivery is also beneficial to the healing of the cesarean section wound. However, it is best not to use it while lying in bed. It can only be worn when getting out of bed and moving around.

Regarding the correct use of the belly belt, doctors recommend that you start using it half an hour after a meal, untie it before urinating, put it on after urinating, and must take it off before going to bed at night. It cannot be worn overnight, and the time you wear the belly belt should not exceed 8 hours a day. At the same time, the editor also reminds all mothers to try not to wear slimming products that need to be taken off, such as tights, as this is not good for abdominal wounds.

I think every woman attaches great importance to her appearance, especially her figure. This is natural as everyone loves beauty. But as a mother who has just given birth, you can put weight loss on hold for now. There is no need to be so anxious. You can take some measures to lose weight more effectively after you finish breastfeeding your child.
