How long does it take to recover after giving birth?

Many women need some time to recuperate after giving birth, because the process of giving birth is not only painful, but also causes women to lose a lot of qi and blood. Moreover, women still need to breastfeed after giving birth, and the baby also needs to eat certain nutrients at this time, otherwise it is likely to lead to insufficient nutrients in breast milk. However, some women lose weight in order to restore their figure, so how long does it take to restore their figure after giving birth?

It mainly relies on exercise and a reasonable diet, eating only until you are 60% to 70% full, and exercising moderately, especially abdominal exercises. As long as you can thoroughly implement the body-shaping plan within the "first time" (within 6 months after delivery), you can gradually restore your slim figure before pregnancy. The most effective and important way to prevent postpartum weight gain is to exercise continuously. The fastest weight loss occurs in the first three months after delivery, and then the rate slows down until 6 months after delivery. Because the wounds on the body need to heal during this period, the energy consumed and the endocrine function will put the body in a state of high metabolism. At this time, as long as you follow a reasonable diet, do not over-supplement, and do not do strenuous exercise, you can lose 3 to 5 kilograms in a month. Special exercise after childbirth Postpartum exercise is different from ordinary weight loss exercise, it is more targeted. Here are some postpartum body shaping exercises:

1. Postpartum gymnastics help the pelvis recover. Mothers who have just given birth have not yet fully recovered and are not suitable for intense exercise. They may wish to do "postpartum gymnastics" first to help the pelvis, vagina and uterus recover. Regular postpartum gymnastics can promote smooth blood circulation throughout the body, allow breast milk to flow smoothly, eliminate fatigue, and help the abdominal and pelvic muscles recover. But please note that you must proceed at a slow pace according to your physical condition. Being too impatient will cause physical burden.

2. Say goodbye to sagging buttocks. The buttocks are one of the parts of women where fat is most likely to accumulate. Before and after delivery, the mother's buttocks become loose and sagging due to long-term lack of exercise and sitting or lying in bed. At this time, you might as well do more leg and hip lifting movements to tighten the hip muscles, which can also help the uterus recover.

3. Sculpt out slender thighs Leg swelling is a common problem for most pregnant women. This is because the enlarged uterus compresses the blood vessels, causing poor blood circulation and edema in the lower body. At the same time, the fat gained during pregnancy will also accumulate and be stored in the thighs, causing leg obesity. Therefore, if you want to have a pair of enviable beautiful legs, in addition to doing leg exercises frequently, you might as well raise your feet when you go to bed every night so that blood can flow back to the legs to eliminate edema.
