What to do about postpartum obesity

Every parent is very happy and delighted when facing their newly born baby, but for female friends, while being happy, they also feel sad when facing their fat body. Because they supplemented more nutrients during pregnancy, many women gain weight quickly and cannot recover their figure until after giving birth. So now let us understand how to solve the problem of postpartum obesity?

In fact, when it comes to obesity, we also need to pay attention to some weight loss methods. You should know that you are still in the breastfeeding period at this time, so if you lose weight blindly and excessively, it will also have an adverse effect on the breastfeeding problem of the fetus. Therefore, I hope that female friends should pay attention to this.

You can try the following methods:

1. Abdominal massage: This is the "pain song" before exercise and it is best to start from the second day after delivery. Lie on the bed and rub the abdominal wall and the bottom of the uterus (about three inches below the navel) with your thumbs in order. The specific steps are to gently push and massage from both sides of the abdomen and the middle and lower abdomen, and push and massage along the direction of the colon (circular). Massage once every night, 5-10 minutes each time is appropriate. Massage can stimulate the contraction of the uterine muscles, promote the smooth discharge of lochia in the uterine cavity, and at the same time increase muscle tension to stimulate gastrointestinal motility, prevent visceral prolapse, and prevent venous blood stagnation.

2. Cross-legged breast-enhancing exercise: The mother sits cross-legged on the bed, holds her heels tightly with both hands, and tilts her head back for 30 times in a row. This can straighten the back, strengthen the chest, make the breasts firm, and keep the milk ducts unobstructed.

3. Waist fitness exercise: Sit cross-legged on the bed, twist your waist repeatedly left and right, inhale first when turning, and exhale as you turn. Twist your waist 30 times a day to improve the beauty of your upper body curves. Make breasts bigger and waist thinner.

4. Rotation and arm-strengthening exercise: Lie on your back on the bed with your legs straight, inhale while raising your arms to the sides, and rotate your body to the right 10 times. This can strengthen your arms and fully exercise your chest, waist, hips, legs, feet and other parts.

5. Exercise to lift the pelvis and strengthen the waist; put your hands folds and shoulders flat and support, lift the pelvis together with the back, waist and thighs, and bend the feet and thighs to 90 degrees. At this time, support the whole body with the arms and feet, lift the pelvis, contract the anus at the same time, and relax when the arms fall to the bed. Do this 10-20 times a day to make the waist and legs healthy; it also has the effect of strengthening the anal sphincter to prevent constipation.

The above are some care and weight loss methods for postpartum women with obesity. I hope that female friends can pay attention to trying these weight loss methods in their lives. These methods are more scientific and healthy methods and will not bring adverse effects to themselves or their babies’ breastfeeding problems.
