What to do if your thighs become thicker after pregnancy

Because many women will eat some foods that are very nutritious to the body during pregnancy, and these foods will not only supplement the nutrition of women's bodies, but also make women's bodies become fat. Therefore, many pregnant women are troubled by a problem, that is, seeing their bodies getting fatter and fatter. The most obvious areas of change are women's thighs and stomachs, so what should pregnant women do if they find their thighs are getting thicker?

One is to use elastic bandages or medical elastic stockings after delivery.

This is the simplest and most practical maintenance method. It can compress the veins in the lower limbs, forcing blood to flow back to the heart, thereby eliminating or alleviating symptoms such as swelling and pain in the lower limbs. In the later stages of pregnancy, using this method to care for the legs can also reduce the degree of edema.

The second is to do leg aerobics after delivery.

From the fifth day to the full month after delivery, you can exercise your legs appropriately to strengthen your leg muscles and improve the return of venous blood in the lower limbs. When exercising, sit on the ground, straighten and pull up your lower limbs, straighten your waist, stretch your arms behind your back, and spread your fingers to support the ground. When you inhale, curl your toes as much as possible, and when you exhale, straighten your toes as much as possible. Then lie on your back, straighten your lower limbs and slightly separate them, place your arms on both sides of the body, and when you inhale, straighten your left foot at right angles to your upper body, with your toes raised. Alternate between your two feet.

Aerobics is suitable for women who have given birth normally. Since most of them have weak constitutions, they should exercise according to their own specific conditions and do it within their ability. They should not rush. Each exercise should be done for two or three minutes, once in the morning and once in the evening. Special attention should be paid to the coordination of breathing and movements during exercise.

After the full month, you can perform various muscle exercises to restore the strength and elasticity of the thigh muscles. Suitable exercises include jogging, leg flexion and extension exercises, swimming, etc. I believe that young mothers will become more plump and beautiful through gradual maintenance and exercise.
