Read More »During pregnancy, your body changes its shape to accommodate for carrying another human being. You gain stretch marks , add pounds, and crave different foods. After birth, you may find that your body isn’t that different from your pregnant body. For some women, this remains true a year or more after giving birth. It's possible for your postpartum belly to go away, but it takes time and dedication. It can be hard to process the changes that happen before, during, and after pregnancy . Your body and life change in new and exciting ways. You have a new baby, new responsibilities, and a new body. One area you might feel tempted to work on improving after delivery is your postpartum belly. Losing weight naturally. When you give birth, you'll lose at least 13 pounds due to fluid loss, the placenta , and your child’s weight leaving your system. After the first week postpartum, you'll probably lose even more weight. But your belly might still look like it did when you were pregnant. This is common, and after you give birth, both your stomach and your uterus will start to contract to their pre-pregnancy sizes. Expect it to take around six weeks for your uterus to contract fully. At six weeks, you may have already lost the weight you gained during pregnancy. This is especially true if you're breastfeeding. Breastfeeding mothers shed around 500 calories per day. This is because your body uses your stored calories from pregnancy to produce milk and feed your baby. If you have a postpartum belly a year out, don't worry. Adjusting to being a new mom is challenging, and losing a postpartum belly takes time. Keep in mind that some women have less elastic skin than others. If you're one of these people, it might take longer for your stomach to return to its pre-pregnancy shape. Abdominal separation. Many women experience something called diastasis recti or abdominal separation while pregnant. This happens when your uterus expands and causes your stomach muscles to separate. It makes your belly stick out. It happens because of hormones and because of the pressure a growing baby puts on your body.
