My delivery is approaching, and I'm already thinking about getting back to my pre-pregnancy shape. What are some general tips or ways to be back in shape after pregnancy? I want to feel good about myself again.
Listen, it took 9 months to grow a baby, so give yourself at least that much time to recover. Start with simple daily walks and pelvic floor exercises. Don't go for heavy workouts without your doctor's green light.
Ho na, starting weight loss too soon can affect breastfeeding also. I just did light walking and avoided sugary junk ghar pe. Take your time, baby is small now so focus on your recovery first.
Since I had a C-section, my stitches took a long time to heal completely. I didn't do any core workouts for almost 6 months, only gentle walking. Please don't force your body, let the internal healing happen first.
Post-pregnancy weight loss takes time, so please don't rush. Since I had gestational diabetes, I stuck to a low-carb, high-protein diet even after birth. Focus on healthy home-cooked food rather than crash dieting.
Sometimes weight doesn't move because of hormonal changes, like it happened with my thyroid. Make sure you get your blood tests done post-delivery too. Keep eating healthy and let your body heal first.
