How much weight will I lose after giving birth?

Pregnancy will bring many impacts to women, and some adverse effects may easily occur on the body, but I believe that women must feel happy in their hearts. I believe that women who have given birth know that a woman’s weight will increase during the ten months of pregnancy compared to before pregnancy, and her weight will also decrease after giving birth. Women are more concerned about the issue of weight, so how much weight will you lose after giving birth? Let me introduce it in detail below.

The vast majority of pregnant women will gain 20-40 pounds after pregnancy (comparison between before pregnancy and before delivery). The weight before and after delivery will change by 15-20 pounds (depending on the weight of the fetus). The excess weight will be restored within about one year after delivery (if a proper diet is maintained). If your weight is high during pregnancy, it will generally return to normal after delivery. It is crucial to control your weight. Eat a balanced diet and exercise appropriately during pregnancy. Keep weight gain within a reasonable range of 25-30 kilograms throughout the pregnancy, and try to avoid a short-term surge. If you develop good eating habits during pregnancy, generally speaking, you will slowly lose weight after the confinement period. Taking care of a child is also very tiring.

Things to note when restoring your body after childbirth

Six months after childbirth is the golden period for weight control

Zhou Jingjing said that whether or not you lose weight in time after giving birth has a great impact on subsequent weight gain. The six months after delivery are the golden period for weight control. If you can return to your pre-pregnancy weight within six months after delivery, your weight will increase by an average of 2.4 kg after 8 to 10 years. If you cannot lose weight after delivery, your weight will increase by an average of 8.3 kg after 8 to 10 years.

After giving birth, due to physical conditions and recovery conditions, it is best for women to enter a fitness center for training two to three months after giving birth or follow the doctor's advice.

Maternal fitness should be based on the principle of combining aerobic exercise and strength training. The purpose of aerobic exercise is to restore physical energy and reduce fat. You can choose to exercise in the form of swimming, water aerobics, aerobic dance, brisk walking, etc. Scientific strength training can help mothers restore muscle strength throughout their body and regain their slim figure as soon as possible.
