What should women do if they have a big belly after giving birth?

Women generally face the trouble of a big belly right after giving birth. A big belly not only affects women's appearance, but long-term obesity can also bring many diseases to women. Therefore, many women want to lose their big belly after giving birth and stay away from the troubles brought by a big belly. So, what should women do with a big belly after giving birth? Let’s take a look at how experts help women reduce their worries.

What should women do if they have a big belly after giving birth?

1. Do not diet within 42 days after delivery

Whether during pregnancy or after childbirth, scientific and reasonable eating habits are crucial. The dietary principle should be a balanced diet, avoiding high-fat, high-calorie foods, ensuring that the fetus and pregnant women get enough nutrition while avoiding overnutrition.

First of all, the dietary structure must be reasonable, and the protein, carbohydrates and fat foods consumed by pregnant women every day must be well matched. The second thing is to use the right amount. You should increase your nutrition after giving birth, but don't be picky about chicken, duck, fish, meat, and eggs. Instead, you should combine meat and vegetables, including milk, vegetables, fruits, and staple foods. Try to eat less sweets, fried foods, animal oils, fatty meat, and animal offal.

2. Natural childbirth: Start activities on the first day after delivery

Active exercise during pregnancy and after delivery is an important measure to prevent reproductive obesity. Proper exercise can promote metabolism and avoid heat accumulation in the body.

Generally, women who give birth naturally can start activities on the first day after delivery, for example: turning over in bed, lifting legs, and doing anal contraction exercises. In particular, anal contraction exercises are very beneficial for the recovery of the pelvic floor muscles and fascia after childbirth. For women who have undergone caesarean section, they can do some activities such as turning over and walking on the ground before the stitches are removed, and they can move around moderately after the stitches are removed.

3. The abdominal belt should not be too tight

Women can use a belly band in the early postpartum period. Because the belly of the mother after childbirth is relatively loose, whenever the amount of activity is large, the traction of the free organs in the body will make people feel very uncomfortable, but it should be remembered that the belly band should not be too tight.

4. Avoid taking diet pills

Experts say, "Never take diet pills or slimming teas. Diet pills mainly reduce the amount of nutrients absorbed by the human body and increase excretion, thereby achieving the purpose of weight loss. At the same time, diet pills affect the normal metabolism of the human body, especially when taken during lactation. Most of the drugs will be excreted in breast milk, which is equivalent to giving diet pills to the baby. The detoxification function of the baby's liver is poor, and a large amount of diet pills can easily reduce the baby's liver function and cause liver dysfunction in the baby."

5. Confidence is the most important

"The mood of the mother after childbirth is also very important. Don't always look worried, but be cheerful. After childbirth, the body's organs are in a period of transition from an old balance to a new balance. It takes about 42 days to return to the pre-pregnancy level and return to a healthy and normal non-pregnancy state. At this time, the mother must have confidence, which will help the body recover."

Warm reminder: A big belly will indeed put an ugly coat on a woman's beautiful appearance, but women must remember not to lose weight blindly and unscientifically because of a big belly, so as to avoid postpartum physical discomfort. At the same time, do not put too much psychological pressure on yourself because of a big belly. Reasonable adjustment is the key to staying away from a big belly.
