How to lose weight after pregnancy

If pregnancy is the most crucial phase in a woman’s life, motherhood is probably the busiest. A new mother has a lot on her mind, ranging from the blissful joy of holding the baby after all the pain to an anxiety about its postnatal care. So, most women also suffer some postpartum blues. But, one of the most apparent and immediate concerns is losing all the pregnancy weight. And it is, in fact, a major health concern, especially in obese women and for women who gained excessive weight during pregnancy. Not only does it helps you lead a healthier life but also it reduces the risk of preeclampsia, gestational diabetes and other complications in the next pregnancy.

Depending on the BMI, a woman might gain around 7 to 18 Kg of weight during the entire term of pregnancy. Even though a big part of it comprises baby weight and the weight of the gestational fluid, which is lost right after delivery, there is an equally big portion that stays. And let's face it you can not expect your body to go back to its pre-pregnancy figure right away. It would put a lot of pressure on your metabolism that would be more harmful to your body than aiding in restoring health.

It is best that you wait at least 6 weeks before jumping on any kind of diet plan. Breastfeeding women should be more cautious before reducing their food intake as a newborn baby needs to derive its nutrition from breast milk. This nutrition is not only important for their growth but it also helps keep common infections at bay.

The good news is that once you can get on a healthy diet and exercise routine, it is much easier to lose weight than anticipated. But don’t expect a miracle here either. Any weight loss program can only aid in gradual weight loss. A healthy diet along with some easy exercises is the best way to go about shedding those extra kilos.

In the course of this article, we’ll explore some of the ways that can help you in losing all that pregnancy weight with ease.
