You may be tempted to take pills to help you lose the weight, but a
more natural method is often advisable. In particular, if you are breastfeeding,
it is not a good idea to take weight loss pills or any drugs, as the compounds
from the drugs can be passed to your child through your breast milk.
In fact, breastfeeding itself is a good and natural way to shed excess
pounds. Take a look at our article on breastfeeding
- losing weight after your baby is born for more details.
A stomach which remains swollen after your pregnancy may be due to more
than just extra weight which you've gained. It could also be because
your muscles and body tissues have lost their tone. Aerobic exercises
like walking, bicycling and step-exercises are the idea type of workout
to undertake in order to get that toned look back again. Your stomach
has gone though a lot over the 9 months that your baby was slowly growing,
inflating your tummy in a way that it never otherwise would have expanded.
It is important to remember that it is normal for your body tissues to
experience a slight delay in returning back to place, so don't despair.
Something that will really help in regaining an attractive stomach is keeping
to a post
pregnancy exercise program to tone your abdominal muscles.
Remember not to overdo any exercises. Take it easy, and
don't think of it as actually being overweight - it's just a little belly
which you can gradually work on. However, if you do have a considerable
amount of extra weight, and particularly if you choose not to breastfeed,
you may want to follow some healthy menus for an after-pregnancy
diet to lose weight.
