Congratulations on the new addition to your family! You will never have a more rewarding job that the job of being mommy. Losing your baby weight, adapting to baby’s schedule and handling hormone surges may not make us feel rewarded initially but it will happen. Fortunately you can get that pregnancy weight off with a little work but it does not have to be an epic event. The ideas in this article are little more than common sense. Read on to see how best to lose that pregnancy weight after baby is born.
You of course already have heard about the benefits of breastfeeding for both mom and baby right? You already know or have been told the benefits of breastfeeding for your baby but did you know it’s helpful to you in the weight loss area as well? Some women claim that, even though they did nothing else to control their weight, breastfeeding their babies helped them drop back to their pre-pregnancy weight in no time. Obviously this works differently for every woman but if you are able to breastfeed your baby, you should do it! Your new son or daughter will enjoy the bonding time with mommy and it does indeed help you burn calories too.
How much weight did you gain during pregnancy? Who wants to be asked that question? The fact is your prepregnancy weight can impact how quickly you are able to lose your pregnancy weight. It is much easier to drop those pregnancy pounds if you are able to stay within the normal range for weight gain during pregnancy as described by your doctor. Obese women tend to have a harder time losing the weight after pregnancy. You will be among those who have to work hard at losing the weight. Before you begin a weight loss routine consult your physician.
Try not to stress out about it too much, but do work on losing the baby weight. People who fail at losing weight after pregnancy are more likely to become overweight or even obese later in life. If you aren’t losing the weight like you expected it maybe time to talk to your doctor. You might even seek the help of a nutritionist for help in figuring out how to get the nutrients you (and your baby) needs while taking in a low enough number of calories to make losing weight easier.
Sometimes women will struggle heavily with losing this weight. For some women it is too easy it seems. Many factors play a role in how hard or easy the weight comes off. You basically determine your own rate of loss by diet, exercise and pre pregnancy weight. No two women are the same just as no two diets are the same, try not to stress. You should realize there is not method that is absolute and there is no time frame that is concrete so don’t worry about it just let it happen as you work on it.
