We come to a form after the delivery

Pregnancy and excess weight

To answer a question how to say goodbye to hated extra kilos after the birth of the kid, for a start it is worth thinking why they actually appear? In many respects this phenomenon is physiologically caused in a female body. It has to be reconstructed so that it is more reliable to protect the kid. And the fat appearing in a waist directly for this purpose is also intended. It as if wraps up the child from possible negative factors. The same function is born also by fatty deposits on hips which protect genital bodies of the woman from damage. And the increased breast during pregnancy is no other than a rehearsal of mammary glands before the period of hard work (breastfeeding).
But here a question why all this "protective" fat remains with mother when the kid was already born and it is not necessary to protect it any more?
* First, kind of we did not want to justify excess weight only with physiology, it not always so. Having learned about the pregnancy, some women absolutely forget about healthy food. Absorbing double portions (for itself and the kid) junk or high-calorific food, all of them justify with the words "I want it, means to the child it is necessary". It, certainly, not so. But nobody will begin to wipe the next cake at future mother. All are only glad to feed the pregnant woman.
* Secondly, expectation and the child's birth in an organism of the woman is connected with very serious hormonal reorganization. It also has an impact on a figure. It is rather difficult to put a body in which the hormonal background is unstable in order. But the hormonal shift is not eternal. In medicine it is considered that the hormonal background of an organism of the woman begins to be restored with the advent of the first critical days after the delivery. Full stabilization of periods demonstrates completion of this process. Storming hormones, by the way, can be carried also to the first point. They force future mummy to absorb the most improbable combinations of products.
* Thirdly, pregnant women in the majority become inactive. Yes it and is clear, the increasing stomach strengthens load of a backbone, and it becomes heavier to move. Many are convinced that a quiet state only on advantage to the kid. However if there are no medical contraindications, moderate physical activity is useful to pregnant women.
Thus, when we ask a question why we gained excess weight during pregnancy, perhaps, we assign too big part in increase in body weight of pregnancy. Think, even not the pregnant woman, eating "for two" and moving a little, will inevitably recover.

Risk factors

But happens and so that the woman waiting for the kid leads active lifestyle, does not overeat and all the same becomes the owner of ill-fated extra kilos. There are also other factors which can promote it. So, those who before pregnancy were fond not of healthy nutrition, namely diets, starvation and other extreme types of weight loss will get into risk group. Physicians recognized that the genetic factor also influences emergence of excess weight after the delivery. That is if in your family women recover, having become mothers, you with high probability are threatened by the same. Also in risk group of the woman, become pregnant by means of artificial insemination, having the diabetes (connected with change of a hormonal background) in the anamnesis, undergoing treatment by hormones. And still that the annoying and absolutely inexplicable, often recover those who most are afraid of it.
As we see, these factors directly practically do not depend on the woman and to fight independently against them very difficult. But after all it is possible.

We begin with food

Healthy food is the very first what it is worth beginning with. Of course, it is desirable to address it in waiting time of the child. But if did not leave, then motherhood too very good occasion to begin to eat properly. You will bring benefit to both the health, and the figure, and a tummy of the little consumer of your breast milk. By the way, breastfeeding can also help to come to a form. It helps mummy to enter a habitual hormonal background, also promotes natural reduction of a uterus. Well and by itself, need of observance of a diet when feeding by a breast also plays a positive role. Speaking to "diet", we mean the balanced food, taking into account all needs for vitamins and minerals and the feeding mother and the kid. It is impossible to starve at all, or to spend fasting days.
And now we will understand that will be useful. First, the young mother who lost a lot of blood after the delivery has to include surely in the diet the products containing iron. It is in meat (low-fat grades of a turkey, rabbit, chicken are preferable, but two-three times a week should be eaten also red meat), an offal, nuts, buckwheat, fish.
The big place in the diet should be allocated to vegetables. In principle any vegetables will be useful. But emphasis should be placed on the vegetables which are not containing starch and also on greens. Vegetables will help to improve work of intestines and to normalize a metabolism. Besides, they are very vitamin-rich also minerals. When seasoning salads give preference to olive oil
You should not refuse to yourself consumption of bread and grain. To contain in them the most important vitamins of group B which feed our nervous system. What, you see, is important for young mother. Just it is worth giving preference to black or otrubny bread, and to cook grain on water.
Also consumption of fermented milk products is useful for stabilization of a metabolism. Low-fat grades of cottage cheese, kefir, milk, yogurts – all this will help you not only to adjust digestion, but also to strengthen immunity.
Do not forget about fruit, dried fruits and berries. They will be very useful to your intestines too. They contain a large amount of natural antioxidants.
Now about sweet. Of course, it will be best of all to refuse candies and chocolates, having replaced them with an apple or banana. But we know how it happens not easy. If very much there was a strong wish for some sweet, eat a zephyr or fruit jelly. Will approach also drying, biscuit. It is the best of all to use, of course, it in the first half of day.
Important in healthy nutrition also not to overeat. Eat less better, but is more often. Arrange having a snack.
Speaking about mother's food, we should not forget that it has to be formed and be adjusted adjusted for reaction of the kid. A product which causes in the baby of pain in a tummy, diarrhea or an allergy, it is worth excluding from a diet.

Feasible physical activities

It would be desirable to begin this section with prevention that young mother should not exhaust herself with sport at all. On the contrary, in weight loss after the delivery rest is not less important, than loading. For a start try to sleep whenever possible more. And if your kid was capricious all night long, and fell asleep in the morning – lay down nearby, but do not start swinging a press. Give yourself time to recover a little after the delivery. You do not hurry, eventually, at you ahead three more years of a maternity leave.
Doctors consider that within the first two months after the child's birth in general the excessive physical activity is contraindicated to the woman. Focus on the kid at this time.
Actually, the way of life of young mother itself pushes her to activity. Walks on the street with a carriage good physical activity. Will strengthen muscles of a back and a stomach and carrying the kid in a baby sling. Besides, frequent cleaning (for creation comfortable conditions to the child) too quite good physical activity. Believe, to start it it is enough.
When the child grows up, and you get enough sleep a little, it is possible to begin to do simple exercises. For example, to raise a stomach with loading. For this purpose it is necessary to put something on a stomach (not really heavy, of course) and to serially lift and lower it, detaining in air a little. Similar exercise can be done also for hips. Put freight (a pillow, the book) on hips, further raise legs, holding freight with hands. The stomach and an abuse-hup will help to put in order. But you should not begin to twist it too early (not earlier, than to yours to the baby to be executed half a year), it can result in boomerang effect. Also the usual raising of a trunk and also contact with the left shoulder of the right knee will help.
If you have forces, then it is possible to work a little on the sports ground while the child sleeps in a bed. But besides you should not exhaust yourself. The tortured and tired mother will not be pleasant to either the kid, or the father.

We believe in success

The emotional condition of mother is after the delivery very unstable, it for anybody not a secret. She can cry, long, feel sorry for herself, to be aggressive or on the contrary passive. If on the person a postnatal depression, then initially it is worth curing it, and then to undertake a figure. You should not refuse the help of the psychologist. He will help you to find self-confidence and to be adjusted on success.
But even without depression a positive spirit – a half of success. You do not speak at all and do not think of the figure of mucks. Appearance of the child is a greatest joy in the woman's life, so dare to enjoy it wholly. Do not perceive excess weight as something constant. All in your hands. And any, the organism which even is most burdened by various factors will respond to your efforts sooner or later. If they are correct and reasonable. And also do not forget to please yourself though sometimes. Buy at least a small obnovochka, you go on massage, to hairdressing salon. You the woman, and motherhood made you only finer!
