Giving birth is a major event in life. Men only need to contribute for one night, and the rest of the suffering is the woman\’s. When I\’m pregnant, I often think that it will be fine once the baby is born, and I won\’t have to carry a big belly anymore. However, after giving birth, I realized that the more difficult days had just begun, and it was impossible to stuff it back into my stomach. Life has changed and cannot be restored, but the body can. When pregnant women regain their figure after childbirth, some are more conscious and will recover on their own whether you take care of it or not; some are more passive and will not change even if you don\’t do anything, such as body shape and weight. What can recover on its own is mostly invisible. What we are more familiar with is the recovery of the uterus. After you give birth to a baby, your uterus will return to its original size, so just wait patiently. Most complete recovery takes 6 weeks, so the first check-up at the hospital after delivery is also around this time. If there is still a lot of bloody lochia after this time, go to the hospital to see if the uterus is not recovering well, or if there are residual placenta and fetal membranes, and deal with it in time. Breastfeeding more often after childbirth and stimulating the nipples can promote the production of oxytocin and help promote uterine recovery. Please click here to enter a description of the image. There is also the blood system. During pregnancy, the blood vessel capacity increases. After delivery, you will sweat more and urinate more, and slowly recover. The same is true for the function of the gastrointestinal tract. The gastrointestinal motility will be restored compared to pregnancy, and constipation will be less. What cannot be fully recovered is mostly visible, such as body shape and belly: · There are not many people who can maintain their figure after giving birth; · There are even fewer who can maintain their figure and their belly is not loose; · There are not many people who have a loose belly and no stretch marks. , very few; in addition to innate physique, personal efforts are also important. Theoretically, most of the postpartum weight will be restored, but if you eat more and move less, it would be strange if your figure is not out of shape. Therefore, there is no body that cannot be restored, only lazy women. There are also things that can be felt, such as the muscles and ligaments of the vagina and pelvic floor. Pregnancy and childbirth, especially vaginal birth, inevitably cause damage to the muscles and ligaments of the pelvic floor. Therefore, it is not uncommon to experience postpartum vaginal laxity, decreased quality of sexual life, urinary incontinence or retention, and uterine prolapse. Relevant survey data shows that about 45% of married women with children in my country have these problems. These things that cannot be fully restored are what we are most concerned about. Should we let them go? To do this, what we recommend may be helpful is exercise, and it is best to start when you are pregnant. At every stage of life, exercise can maintain and improve a person\’s cardiorespiratory health, reduce the incidence of obesity and related complications, and help people live longer.

Postpartum exercise should be done as soon as possible. In China, everyone is encouraged to exercise during pregnancy. You may still be a little scared. But if you don\’t do anything after giving birth to a child, you are too lazy. When you are lazy, fat will naturally appear on your body.

If you want a sexually happy postpartum life, Kegel exercise is indispensable. You can find the specific method online, so I won’t go into details here.

In today\’s living conditions, there are almost no cases of nutritional deficiencies, but more cases of overnutrition. Eat a normal diet, appropriately increase the intake of high-quality protein, and eat more fruits and vegetables. If you want to recover well after childbirth, you must start exercising during pregnancy, and you should not be a lazy mother after childbirth. All excuses are excuses.
