In different women, after the birth of a child, the figure changes individually. Someone doesn’t immediately have a stomach (as a rule, if a woman monitored the physical condition of the body even before pregnancy), in others, extra kilos are obvious in all places. And the realization that it is time to change something and put the figure in order comes at different times. Someone before leaving maternity leave, and to whom, immediately after discharge from the hospital. Looking at yourself in the mirror, the question arises: how to remove the stomach after childbirth.

It's easier to deal with a problem when you know what it is. Speaking specifically about the abdomen, then its friability is a direct reflection of the fact that the muscle of the abdominal wall is stretched after pregnancy and weakened.

What do you think, offhand, will a diet ? Let's start with the fact that a diet is contraindicated for a nursing mother until the child is six months old (except that the restriction of fatty and sweet will not hurt).

Well, what's left? Physical exercise. Only without fanaticism. If the birth took place naturally, then you can do it one and a half months after the birth of the child, if the baby appeared with the help of a caesarean section, then not earlier than two and a half months. And then in each of the cases we have in mind a reservation on well-being.

Exercises to strengthen the abdomen after childbirth

I want to say: use every opportunity to work on the press. Let it be a walk with a stroller in the park, or a trip to the store. You can do this without attracting the attention of others. You just need to tighten the press: when you inhale, you round it, when you exhale, strain it, pulling it to the spine.

If you intend to do the exercises specifically at home, then first you need to warm up. Do breathing exercises as described above, you can also add arching: from a prone position, raise your head and legs above the floor as much as you can.

Raising the legs from a supine position, hands at the seams. Raise your straight legs at an angle of 90 degrees, holding them in this position for a few seconds. You can do the same, only “cut” the angle to 45 degrees and hold your legs in this position, feeling how the abdominal muscles tense up. In a reclining position on your back (lean on your elbows), lift your straight legs and start spreading them to the sides, then returning to the starting position. From a supine position, slightly raise your head, shoulder blades and straight legs. Now bend your knees and stretch them to your chest (respectively, pull your chest to your knees). Return to the starting position without touching the floor with your feet and head. A slightly more complicated version of the previous exercise: cross pull-ups. Lying on your back, hands behind your head. Reach with the elbow of the left hand to the knee of the right leg and vice versa.

If you are a fan of salon therapy, you can sign up for body wraps and special massages. A good help to improve blood circulation in the problem area will be morning contrast shower , during which pay attention to the abdomen. Massaging with water is also good, you can in the bathroom. Clasp your hands and move them up and down near your stomach. You should feel the wave-like movement of the water.

Well, the last. Don't expect results too soon (no sooner than a couple of months), so don't overwork yourself or be too picky when looking at yourself in the mirror. Do exercises until you are slightly tired, but with pleasure, imagining what your stomach will be like. Gradually, everything will return to normal.
