Look Good Feel Great After Pregnancy
by Cathy Maree
The amount of extra weight you manage to lose which was
gained during pregnancy will depend on many factors.
Obviously just how much you lose after the birth will depend
on how much the baby weighs and that of the amniotic fluid
and placenta.
An additional seven pounds or so of body fat is gained
during pregnancy but after birth when the uterus reverts
back to its normal size and the hormone level starts to drop
then the weight will start to fall as well. The extra fat
gained is used as energy while the mother is breastfeeding
but there is no magic formula to calculate how quickly each
individual's excess weight will reduce.
Patience can be hard when you desperately want to lose
weight after your pregnancy but you have to remember it did
actually take three quarters of a year to put in although it
can be annoying when you see women who are back to their
original weight and figure within a few short months. There
are women who will not lose all the extra weight until they
have finished breast feeding and this is in response to the
needs of the baby but every woman is different and there are
no hard and fast rules.
Nevertheless with a good nutritional diet plan and regular
physical activity there is no reason why normal weight or
close to it should not return within the year. Many women in
fact will be back to their original weight within a year of
having their child providing they follow good dietary and
exercise regimes. Of course the annoying thing is when you
see or hear about women that have regained their weight and
shape in less than twelve weeks.
Weight loss after pregnancy can of course be difficult as
most women's bodies change in order to be a mother. This is
one good reason if you want to achieve weight loss after
pregnancy then you must take things steady and not try to
rush, especially if you wish to stay healthy.
In addition, dieting right after pregnancy for a new mother
who is breast feeding should probably be put on hold as a
breast feeding new mother needs a significant amount of
energy for the continual 24 hour care of her baby that may
last for a year. While it may take over half a year for a
mother to get close to her old metabolic rate and hormone
level there may be some changes that are permanent.
Let us not forget that a pregnant mother can gain anything
form twenty five to thirty five pounds but can lose up to
fourteen when the baby is born.
Even though his immediate weight loss after pregnancy will
help the condition, the remaining weight to be lost should
not be rushed. - 15668
