I'm a bit concerned about gaining weight during pregnancy and then losing it. Is it generally easy to lose weight after pregnancy, or is it a big struggle for most women?
Easy? Only if chasing a crawling baby who wants to eat dust counts as cardio! Don't pressure yourself, you literally grew a human. The weight will go away slowly, till then enjoy your loose comfy pajamas.
Haha, let me know if you find out because right now my exercise is just rocking my baby at 3 AM! Honestly, with the lack of sleep and constant hunger, losing weight is the last thing on my mind. Just focus on surviving the newborn stage first!
Yaar, actually it takes a lot of patience. Don't expect to bounce back like those Bollywood moms. For me, it took almost a year of basic home food and walking. Just don't stress, let your body heal first.
It's not overnight, let's be real. It takes at least 6 to 12 months of consistent clean eating and light exercise once your doctor clears you. Breastfeeding helps burn calories, but you still have to watch your sugar and junk intake.
I am planning my pregnancy now and honestly quite worried about this postpartum weight gain. It feels so reassuring to hear that it takes time. Did you guys start any special diet after delivery, or just normal food?
