Why is my belly still so big two months after giving birth? What should I do?

For most women, their belly will gradually get smaller two months after giving birth. Through exercise or a controlled diet, many women can get back to their old figure or even better. But for some women, their bellies are still big and bloated two months after giving birth. Why is that and what should they do? Don't worry, there is a way.

The most fundamental change during pregnancy is body deformation. As the fetus grows and grows, the center of gravity of the human body gradually moves forward and the pelvis gradually tilts forward, thus forming a hunched waist, sunken hips and sticking buttocks body shape of pregnant women. Existing postpartum care and recovery methods are mainly based on running and aerobics. Although high-intensity exercise can reduce weight, it is not very targeted and does not significantly improve the body shape. It is difficult to get rid of the body shape of pregnant women, especially the anterior pelvic tilt and abdominal fat accumulation. Anterior pelvic tilt is closely related to lower abdominal protrusion.

When the pelvis tilts forward, the lumbar spine will inevitably arch forward and the lower abdomen will inevitably bulge. The forward protrusion of the lower abdomen also makes the lower abdomen a blind spot for exercise, making it difficult to consume energy even if you exercise. If the lower abdomen protrudes for a long time, it will gradually fall under the action of gravity, and fat will easily grow and accumulate in the abdominal cavity, which is called a "fat depot." If a woman's pelvic tilt remains after childbirth, it is difficult for her weight to return to normal, and it is not uncommon for her to gain weight that exceeds her weight during pregnancy. Everyone knows that the key to losing weight is to tighten the abdomen, but few people know that pelvic tilt is an important cause of abdominal fat accumulation.

In fact, losing weight is a slow process. You don't need to do strenuous or high-intensity exercise. The most effective way is to walk, but you can't walk casually like you usually do with big strides. Instead, you should take small steps, keep your toes inward, slow down, and the key is to tighten your abdomen and lift your hips. This is somewhat similar to the "abdominal walking method" advocated by weight loss experts. If you can't stick to it, you can wear body training shoes (negative heel shoes). Because the sole is higher in the front and lower in the back, the center of gravity will be forced to move backward when walking, and the lower abdomen will naturally be easier to tighten. The gluteal muscles remain tense, and fat is not easily accumulated. Moreover, walking like this will enhance intestinal motility, increase the frequency of bowel movements, and strengthen metabolism, so people will naturally be less likely to gain weight. If you are losing weight after childbirth, the earlier you use it, the better the effect. In short, you can’t rush to lose weight. Once you find the right method, what’s more important is to stick to it!

Most of the time, the above reasons may cause your belly to be still big two months after giving birth. Regular exercise and diet control are essential. But what is more important is the above method. Only by finding the cause and prescribing the right remedy can the problem be solved. Persevere, and you can also have a beautiful figure.
