How to get rid of postpartum belly

　　Many new mothers will wonder: Why is the belly still so big after giving birth? In fact, it is impossible for the belly to recover immediately after giving birth. It will take a while to get rid of the belly. So let’s find out below. Postpartum The reasons for abdominal obesity, so that we can better lose weight after childbirth.

　　Causes of postpartum abdominal enlargement:

　　1. receive Uterus Effects of expansion, rupture of elastic fibers in the abdominal wall: During pregnancy, the elastic fibers around the abdominal wall skin Affected by the expansion of the uterus, the elastic fibers are broken, so it will be significantly relaxed after delivery, and there will be a lot of fat accumulation.

　　After 10 months of pregnancy, the belly started to get bigger after 4 months. In total, the pregnant woman’s rectus abdominis muscle was stretched for 6 months during the pregnancy. At this time, the rectus abdominis will be stretched very loosely, becoming less elastic, and the muscle fibers will become very loose. It is impossible to quickly return it to normal condition. So from this point of view, it is completely okay to grow it in 6 months and then lose it in 6 months.

　　On the outermost side of the abdomen, from top to bottom straight down to the center of the abdomen, the muscle from top to bottom is called the rectus abdominis. The rectus abdominis muscle consists of two halves held together by a thin layer of fibrous tissue called the alba. The muscles on both sides of the abdomen pass through the abdomen diagonally from different directions, while the lower layer passes from one side to the other side and passes straight through the abdomen. Some of these layers of muscles do not cross at the center of the abdomen. There is only one layer of muscle under the center of the abdomen, making this area particularly fleshy and prone to injury.

　　During pregnancy, the linea alba will begin to soften and begin to expand, causing the second layer of muscles of the rectus abdominis to separate to accommodate the growing baby. fetus . The separation of this muscle is called the separation of the rectus abdominis. 3-4 days after delivery, you will notice a space about 2-4 fingers wide. As the strength of the muscles begins to increase, this space shrinks to only the width of a finger.

　　2. The body's center of gravity shifts forward during pregnancy, and the spine naturally arches back: At the same time, because the belly protrudes forward during pregnancy, the body's center of gravity also moves forward. In order to support the large and heavy belly, the spine naturally arches back. If things go on like this, the original tall and straight figure will no longer exist.

　　3. Overnutrition and fat accumulation during pregnancy: Today’s expectant mothers are always afraid that the baby in their belly will not have enough nutrition. They eat a lot every day without restraint and lack of exercise. As a result, they have overnutrition and fat will naturally grow on themselves. If you still eat meat a lot and don’t exercise during the confinement period, you can imagine the fat on your abdomen.

　　Effective ways to slim down your belly after childbirth:

　　1. Maintain a correct posture no matter where you are: relax your shoulders when walking, swing your arms naturally, lift your lower abdomen, and maintain a slightly tense state. Tense your lower abdomen while sitting on a chair, then sit your buttocks as deep into the chair as possible to straighten your waist and back.

　　2. Massage: When bathing, use a warm water shower to massage in a clockwise direction around the navel, and then also massage from the lower abdomen to the chest. While immersing in the tub, sit against the wall of the tub, stretch one leg to the wall opposite the tub, and then lift your upper body with the other leg bent. Bathing in the order of cold water - warm water - cold water in the bathhouse has a good effect on burning fat and increasing muscle elasticity.

　　3. Continue to maintain good eating habits: In order to eliminate constipate , try to reduce overeating and overeating, and eat more fiber foods. Eat more carbohydrates that are good for defecation, drink a glass of mineral water on an empty stomach in the morning, and then drink yogurt containing fiber to stimulate the gastrointestinal tract.

　　After most people give birth, their abdomen still looks like they have been pregnant for five months. This is because the uterus is still enlarged and has not fully recovered. After 3-18 months, the uterus will gradually recover. However, because when the fetus grows and develops in the womb, the abdominal wall muscles are over-elongated and stretched, the muscle elasticity will be substantially reduced, and the abdominal muscle relaxation will be very serious. If it is not exercise , the elasticity of the abdominal wall muscles cannot be restored.
