Some people lose weight after birth, and some people are still very fat, what is going on?
There are many reasons for this, let's take a look.
The first is personal health problems, many mothers find themselves prone to obesity after giving birth, which may be due to genetic reasons in the body.
When the fetus is still in the mother's womb, her cells form a chimera with the pregnant mother. When the embryo reaches a certain stage of development, it can be fused with the mother and become a new life. At this time, a large number of metabolites began to be produced in the body of the pregnant woman. These substances are delivered to the fetus through the placenta. Finally excreted by the newborn. In this process, the mother will more or less retain some of the fetal cells. These cells contain genes from the father of the child, and if the father of the child happens to be obese, the pregnant mother is likely to be prone to obesity after childbirth.
Secondly, some mothers insist on breastfeeding their babies 6 months after they are born. This is because breast milk is rich in protein, fat and carbohydrates, which has a good feeding effect on babies. Again, some moms think they don't have anything to do during pregnancy and don't pay attention to breastfeeding. In fact, this is not a good thing. In breastfeeding, the diet is naturally difficult to control, afraid that the baby will not eat enough nutrition, eat more naturally and easily gain weight.
Third, the traditional habit on the mainland is to have children after childbirth. But now many families are not doing this, but let the mother eat the food in the mooncake box directly. This is actually very unscientific. Because when a woman eats a moon cake, she produces a hormone called oxytocin. During the confinement period, it is completely normal to eat three meals 6.7 times a day, and the mother rarely exercises, and almost all the time is lying in bed. After eating like this for a month, it is difficult to lose weight.
Fourth, some mothers need to take care of their children, and the children themselves feel short. Therefore, the sleep quality of these babies will be relatively poor, prone to drowsiness, dizziness and other phenomena. If care is not given in time, it is likely to lead to a decline in the child's physical resistance, causing a variety of diseases and even life-threatening. Therefore, pay attention to keep warm. Occasionally wake up, for people who have just become mothers, parenting is already busy enough, and when there is free time, they are also anxious to rest, where is the time to exercise?
Finally, some moms don't lose weight after giving birth because they consume a lot of extra calories during pregnancy. So how do you make your stomach fat? In fact, many people know that they should eat more food during pregnancy, but how to arrange the diet reasonably is scientific? This requires attention from the beginning of pregnancy. Simply put, pregnant mothers will increase the calorie intake of pregnant women during pregnancy to the body, and their natural weight will not decrease after childbirth.
The combined effect of various factors has led to many pregnant mothers still unable to lose weight after childbirth. If you want to lose weight, you need to have a scientific method, how to do it? And how to manage it effectively? What problems should I pay attention to during pregnancy? How do I control my weight? How to avoid the harm caused by obesity to the body? These are all topics that pregnant mothers should focus on. Scroll down together.
There are 4 things you need to do to get back in shape quickly after giving birth
Caesarean section and vaginal birth weight loss time is also different from normal delivery, generally recommended 1-2 months after vaginal delivery, when the physical condition is good, caesarean section, depending on the degree of wound healing, it is generally recommended to start gradual exercise 3 months after vaginal delivery.
Exercise is not recommended for the menstrual cycle, because women's bodies are relatively weak, blind exercise can easily backfire, and six months after childbirth is the best time to lose weight.
So what should be done to lose weight after childbirth?
1. Before gradually resuming exercise, we must ensure the health of the body. 2. Maintain correct posture and appropriate distance during exercise. 3. Choose the right time to exercise. 4. Make specific plans according to the characteristics of different age groups. 5. Pay attention to daily dietary conditioning. 6. Regular review. Postpartum women's pelvic floor muscles are more or less relaxed and damaged, so postpartum exercise needs to pay attention to repairing pelvic floor muscles, rather than starting with strenuous exercise.
2. While repairing the pelvic floor muscles, some strength training can be supplemented. 3. Postpartum women cannot seek medical treatment in time when they have physical problems due to physiological and psychological factors, and need to go to the hospital regularly for review or treatment. 4. Postpartum women should actively participate in sports activities. 5. Pay attention to exercise time and intensity. Postpartum women are advised to exercise under the guidance of a professional coach to avoid being hurt by mistake.
3, mothers can also do some aerobic exercise appropriately, running, walking, brisk walking, yoga, etc. are good choices.
4, sleep is also of great help to weight loss, if you do not sleep enough during weight loss, it is difficult to achieve satisfactory results. Therefore, in the prenatal stage, special attention should be paid to rest. In general, rest should begin 3 days before giving birth. Because the body recovers the fastest during this time. However, if you do not rest in time, it is easy to cause postpartum obesity. Of course, it is unrealistic to hope that the novice mother can have the same sleep time as before childbirth, and it is recommended to use the mode of "baby sleep, baby sleep, baby sleep" to ensure 7-8 hours of sleep time every day.
Here to remind postpartum mothers, postpartum exercise must not be too hasty! Postpartum exercise should pay attention to the following points: 1. Insist on getting up around 7 to 8 o'clock every morning, first move your limbs and abdomen, and then go to participate in some simple sports. 2. Try to choose aerobic exercise. When your body is unstable, don't force yourself to exercise, it will hurt your body and will not help you lose weight.
In addition, the postpartum exercise must be gradual, do not blindly fast. The exercise time should not be too long. It is generally believed that it is enough to rest for 5 to 10 minutes after exercise, but in fact, no strenuous exercise can be performed within 30 minutes after childbirth. If you have symptoms such as physical discomfort during exercise, please stop in time and do not joke about your body.
Postpartum exercise is of great help to learning, it is recommended that novice mothers must be fully prepared before exercising, not blind.
