Four ways to recover your abdomen after cesarean section

Every mother has an unspeakable difficulty after giving birth, that is, the slim figure before giving birth is completely gone. It becomes very difficult for the abdomen to recover after a caesarean section, and it is basically impossible to return to the figure before giving birth. In fact, I believe every mother will have this kind of trouble. The husband says it’s okay, but he still cares about it in his heart. Now I will introduce to you four methods of abdominal recovery after cesarean section, and I hope it will be helpful to every mother.

How to use the belly belt correctly

Gynecologists point out that due to the abdominal wound after cesarean section, a restraint belt cannot be used immediately. If used too early, it may cause wound infection.

If a belly band is used for a long time during the confinement period after a caesarean section, it will cause poor blood circulation in the mother, leading to varicose veins in the lower limbs, lumbar muscle strain and other diseases. In addition, if the corset is too tight, it will increase abdominal pressure and affect the healing of the uterine incision. So you must pay special attention when using it. Therefore, it is not recommended for mothers who have undergone cesarean section to use a belly band to tighten their abdomen.

After coming out of the operating room, the doctor will recommend using an abdominal belt (medical, not a body-binding type) to help wound healing and uterine contraction. If you must use a corset or tight pants, you must wait until the abdominal wound is completely healed. The correct way to use the abdominal belt: wear it half an hour after meals and after urination, and take it off before going to bed.

Eat a balanced diet

After stopping breastfeeding, new mothers should pay attention to a balanced diet. Since the baby's nutrition basically comes from breast milk during breastfeeding, the mother's nutrition must keep up. However, after stopping feeding, many mothers are temporarily unable to adjust their appetite and continue to eat and drink a lot. Originally, all the nutrition that exceeded the mother's own needs was supplied to the baby through breast milk, but now the excess can only be transferred to the mother, and if you are not careful, it may become fat. Therefore, once breastfeeding is stopped, new mothers should pay attention to their diet, eat more vegetables, fruits and milk, and less French fries and cola.

Walking with abdomen contracted

To slim down your waist and abdomen after a cesarean section, you must first learn the abdominal breathing method: when you inhale, your belly swells; when you exhale, your belly contracts. This is a necessary training for people who practice yoga or voice training. It helps stimulate gastrointestinal motility, promote the excretion of waste in the body, smooth airflow and increase lung capacity.

When walking or standing in daily life, you should contract your abdomen with force and cooperate with abdominal breathing to make the abdomen muscles become tight. You may not be used to it in the first one or two days, but as long as you remind yourself to shrink your abdomen at all times, you will lose weight. After a few weeks, not only will your abdomen become flatter, but your walking posture will also become more charming.

Sit-ups

After lifting your body 10 to 20 cm off the ground, tighten your abdominal muscles and pause for a moment, then slowly lower your body back to its original position. When your back touches the ground, you can start the next cycle of movement. This exercise can eliminate belly fat and give you beautiful abdominal muscles.

I believe that through the above-mentioned four methods of abdominal recovery after cesarean section, mothers will be full of confidence in regaining their figure. In fact, it is not difficult to achieve the above-mentioned four methods of abdominal recovery. The most difficult thing is to persist every day. For the perfect figure, mothers must not give up halfway.
