Postpartum Weight Loss Plan
Along with all the joys a new baby brings into your life, you may have the sinking realization that much of your pregnancy weight gain has managed to stay with you. Dreams of fitting into your pre-pregnancy clothes may not come true for some time after the delivery. According to the University of Rochester Medical Center, you can plan to lose an average of 12 lbs. right away. The remainder of the weight may take weeks and months to disappear.
How to Make My Own Stretch Mark Prevention Cream for Pregnancy
Stretch marks–those dark red or purple streaks that can develop on your stomach, thighs, breasts, arms and buttocks and that make wearing a bathing suit of any kind such a trial–are a common complaint of pregnant women during their last trimester, according to the Mayo Clinic. Stretch marks are caused during pregnancy by the stretching of the skin as the baby grows and you gain weight. A wide variety of commercial creams, balms and lotions are available to prevent the development of these marks by keeping the skin hydrated and supple. Natural remedy websites, such as Homemade Medicine and All About Stretch Marks, however, contain many similar stretch mark creams that can be made inexpensively at home. Naturopathic medicine promotes a holistic approach to health with minimal use of surgeries and drugs. Please make sure to consult your physician before attempting naturopathic remedies at home.
