POSTPARTUM AND POSTPARTUM BODY CHANGE

-

 

Over the years, a lot of women who suddenly or intentionally found themselves in motherhood have had to go through the process of pregnancy, delivery and subsequently face the aftermath of pregnancy which is also known as postpartum. Lots of women go through diverse changes in their body in which each person’s body vary from the other depending on the genetics, while some experience weight loss, some experience excess or normal weight gain. The belly undergoes more changes during pregnancy than any other body part. Depending on your age, genetics, and the amount of weight you gain, this can mean stretch marks and excess flab, or a "pooch," postpartum. It can take as long as six weeks for the uterus to revert back to its old size, which will decrease the size of your belly. But since the abdominal skin has been stretched and pulled, it may never again be as taut as it was.

Keeping the core muscles [abdominals and back] strong during pregnancy helps the abdominals recover faster, as for that extra pooch, most experts recommend abdominal work. Targeted abdominal exercise will get most women the results they want with their postpartum body.

 

 As your uterus contracts back to size, many women feel abdominal aches and flutters (somewhat akin to menstrual cramps) that grow.  However, the discomfort should last only a few days and can be treated with a prescription or over-the-counter painkillers.

But since the abdominal skin has been stretched and pulled, it may never again be as taut as it was.

 

"Keeping the core muscles [abdominals and back] strong during pregnancy helps the abdominals recover faster," says Megan Flatt, a trainer and fitness educator in San Francisco and creator of Bump Fitness, a prenatal and post-baby workout program. As for that extra pooch, most experts recommend abdominal work.

 Happy Birthday to Peter Obi, my dearest Big Bro:   I will never forget your kindness to my beloved parents. Thank you for the respect you showed them, for your many visits to Abba, where you gave to Daddy and Mummy the most precious gifts: your time and your attention.   Thank you for walking this still-unbearable journey of grief with my siblings and me.   I remember how you regaled Daddy and Mummy with your stories until we started joking about your obsession with the “GDP of Malaysia.” But your obsession spoke of hope: your hope for Nigeria, your belief in what Nigeria could be. A belief that has always been practical, grounded in numbers and in reality.   I remember when you came to support me as I was being honored by the United Nations Foundation in New York, and I teased you about the inexpensive hotel you were staying in, and you shrugged and said, “it’s just a place to sleep, why do I need to be in an expensive place?” And then only days later, you onc...
