Weight Loss After Pregnancy

I was just speaking to a new client today about her weight loss after pregnancy and she said something that really made me think.

Her comments were..."I think I lost weight so quickly after having @@@@@ (her son) because I had so much time to get out and be more active"

I had probably better just fill you in on the reason why she was wanting to work with me. Basically she had gained quite a bit of weight during her pregnancy, but lost it straight away afterwards, only to start gaining it back when she was plunged back in to real everyday life...caring for children, family, working and attempting to look after herself.

That's some juggling act, but one so many mums have to go through on a day to day basis.

The point I am trying to make here is that if you think you have no time and feel tired when you have just had a baby, it will get much, much worse when you go back to work and life returns to normal.

If weight loss after pregnancy is a consideration for you, then the sooner you start taking action, the better your progress will be. Make the most of the time you have when your baby is still small, using the excuse of "I'll wait until things settle down a bit" is not a recipe for success.

Your Cesarean recovery plan may well be to lie motionless in bed to avoid feeling any pain or discomfort and at first any movement will seem like a huge challenge.

At this stage, getting out of bed and moving around is vital to your recovery. Exercise after c section or more specifically becoming active after the operation forms a significant part of the whole rehabilitation process. The reason for this is that movement and an increased heart rate helps to increase blood flow to the wound supplying oxygenated blood and essential cells for repair.
