What kind of body type will lose weight after giving birth?

Most women's figures will change after giving birth. The most obvious change is gaining weight. Some will even be much fatter than before pregnancy. However, a small number of women become thinner after giving birth. Such women must be the envy of most people. So, apart from dietary factors, what kind of physical condition do people who lose weight after giving birth generally have?

What kind of body type will lose weight after giving birth?

This depends on each person's physical condition. Some people will become thinner after giving birth, while others will gain weight. (Wilf) But losing weight or gaining weight is reversible. As long as you maintain a good pace of life and pay attention to your health, this is not a big problem.

"Some people say that your physical condition changes after giving birth, and this statement does make sense."

According to the theory of nine constitutions, a healthy person should have a peaceful constitution, that is, a moist complexion, thick hair, bright eyes, rosy lips, plenty of energy, not afraid of cold or heat, and good sleep, appetite, and bowel movements. Generally speaking, unless young people have a particularly bad lifestyle or already have any disease, most of them have a peaceful constitution, so they are healthy and not prone to illness.

But for young mothers, whether it is the force, bleeding, sweating during natural childbirth, or the injury caused by cesarean section, it may cause the mother's yin blood deficiency and severe damage to her vitality. The emptiness of all meridians and multiple deficiency and blood stasis are the physiological characteristics of postpartum. It takes about 6-8 weeks to fully recover. If the mother has a good physical condition and takes good rest, she will still be in good health even after giving birth. But there are still many mothers who, although they have the help of family members and confinement nannies, have to breastfeed and take care of their children at the same time. Over time, they naturally become deficient and their physical condition changes.

Mothers who do not pay attention to recuperation after giving birth are more likely to develop the following physical types.

If a mother is afraid of cold and likes heat, has low energy, sleeps too much, and has a pale tongue, she most likely has a yang deficiency.

If you are prone to feeling hot and dry, have a dry throat, are thirsty and love to drink cold drinks, have dry stools, and a red tongue, you are probably suffering from a yin deficiency.

If one's voice is low and timid, one is short of breath and lazy to speak, one is easily fatigued, lacks energy, and sweats easily, these are mostly manifestations of Qi deficiency. The biggest difference between mothers with Qi deficiency and mothers with Yang deficiency is that mothers with Qi deficiency are not so afraid of cold, but over time, they can easily develop into Yang deficiency.

In addition, some mothers gain too much weight during pregnancy and develop gestational diabetes; their figure does not return to normal after giving birth, their blood sugar is abnormal, and they are obese and have chest tightness, which may indicate a phlegm-damp constitution.
