5 Truths About Post Baby Bodies
If you are planning to get pregnant or are pregnant now, below are five truths you should know about Post baby body changes. The more prepared you are, the better can you handle it.
Your tummy will look different and probably stay different
A to-be mother also puts on between 11 and 16 kg during her pregnancy period. All this expansion directly shows on your skin, especially around the tummy. After delivery, it will take a few months for the bulge to start going down slowly and you will be left behind with loose skin and most probably stretch marks.
Your body will take time to function normally
Most women complain about the constant aches around their body post pregnancy. There are bound to be minor pains and discomforts after delivery. Do not expect to go through all your fitness routines or get super active right away. Your Post baby body will need a relaxation period. With time, you will learn to understand the changes and work through it.
Cup sizes
Your breast size will definitely increase after the pregnancy. However, it is interesting to note that the size of the breasts start reducing once you stop breastfeeding your baby. This might cause sagging in most women. Regular workouts, maintaining a healthy BMI and wearing the right bra will help control this problem.
Hair fall
This might sound like a minor detail but most mothers are terrified of the amount of hair fall they experience right after pregnancy. Do remember that this is not permanent. After six to twelve months of delivery, your hair fall will reduce.
Sexual drive
With the physical changes you are going through, it is normal to experience a low sexual drive. It gets alright in about a year’s time. If you find it a concern, then do talk to your healthcare practitioner and he/she can help you with the right suggestions. Women have always been challenging and pushing boundaries.
Start your fitness regime, have an active lifestyle and you will soon get rid of your Post baby body changes.
