Category: Body after Baby

Though you may love your little bundle of joy, you’re certainly not too happy about the little bundle she left around your middle. The skin must stretch during pregnancy to accommodate a growing baby, but your skin isn’t always quick to rebound. Getting rid of the saggy skin of your post-baby belly can prove to be difficult.

You’ve delivered your baby, and you are both doing well. The only problem is, you want to lose your baby weight sooner rather than later. You can drop the pounds safely by sticking with a healthy, balanced diet. Keep your expectations realistic, though, and remember that you taking care of your baby is more important that getting your super-hot body back. If you are breastfeeding, keep in mind that you are still eating for two and don’t cut your calories too much.

Retiring the maternity clothes immediately after giving birth isn’t possible for most women. While much of the pregnancy weight gain is lost with the delivery of your baby, your stomach won’t go back to its previous state immediately. You might also feel self-conscious about the changes to your body. These changes combined with the exhaustion and hormones leave some moms frustrated by the clothing options. Postpartum dressing should make you feel comfortable and stylish while allowing for easy breastfeeding if you choose to nurse.

A glance at the tabloids and celebrity gossip magazines makes it seem as though every single female celebrity is getting pregnant, having the baby and then miraculously losing the baby weight. While some celebrities claim to share their secrets, in many cases, their methods of rapid post-pregnancy weight loss are unrealistic for the average woman. Some of their secrets may help you lose that post baby weight, though.
