After delivery, a lot of changes occur but most ladies about 80% look
forward to looking their pre-pregnancy self. That won't happen at once. It is
not easy getting back into pre pregnancy body especially when you gained a lot
of weight during pregnancy. you have to really work hard, visit the gym, watch
what you eat, exercise and a whole lot of things.
Actually immediately after birth you lose some weight, that of the baby
and the placenta and gradually the weight keeps coming off depending on your
lifestyle and genes.
The tummy is also another aspect that comes with
pregnancy, it depends on individuals as it may take up to 6-12 months or more to
get it flat again, remember it took 9 months to get it stretched to accommodate
your baby same thing to fading out stretch marks for those who had them.
For me, this was my experience.
I gained a lot of weight during
pregnancy from size 8 pre pregnancy to size 14 during pregnancy and after
delivery for many reasons such as eating a lot, and resting a lot too i got
help from two mothers doing baby care for me i added again and got to size 16.
Everyone said they liked my new size and i looked beautiful in it, but all i
wanted was to fit into my old cloths like most women out there want to also. So
now am a size 12 and am still shedding more weight when i get to 10 or probably
8 again i'll stop. so here is what i did to achieve the weight lose
- Skipping
- Doing all house chores
myself that includes not having a maid.
- Detoxifying by drinking a lot of
water, taking a lot of fruits and vegetables i mean a lot
- Changed my choice of meals and
times. i stopped eating at late night, have diner by 7pm and fruits
anything after then. in the morning i start with water and fruits then something light, eat heavy during lunch and light at diner.
Be patient, never force yourself through extreme measures to return back to your pre pregnancy size,
i believe everyone is beautiful no matter the size. I mean pictures i took in
all my sizes are gorgeous and i only started noticing changes in my size 10
months post delivery.
